Day 1 or' 'I finally did it!''

So here it is, my new blog!  I have been wanting to blog for a few years now and never got around to it.  I am a stay-at-home mom of 2 and since my youngest is starting school in the fall, I thought that now is the perfect time to get to it.  I have also been debating for a while on what it should be about, and last night it dawned on me that it should be about my love of - and I think talent for - finding amazing deals on clothes!  I think I also want to debunk the soccer mom myth, and show the world that just because you are a soccer mom, you don't have to look like one, and you certainly don't need to look like a ''Real Housewife'' either!!!  So here it is, day 1...

Last week I went shopping at my local Goodwill store and found these two gems :

The purse is Whiting and Davis.  Similar styles range from 125$ to 250$ USD on their website (www.whitinganddavis.com).  I paid 2$ CDN for it!






The scarf is Chanel...real or fake I have no idea.  Found same one in this color and 3 other colors on ebay (from top rated sellers, for what that's worth).  Pre-owned they ranged from 70$ to 125$...I paid 0.50$...that's right! you heard me! fifty cents!!!!!









What will I find next...now let's go shopping!
