Both my kids like to dress well and have become good bargain shoppers. Thrift and consignment stores yield up some amazing finds to those who are patient and picky. But those finds alone would make for a very random wardrobe. My kids have found great online bargains from J.Crew (outlet and regular) and Gap to fill in the…ummm…gaps. Their school will tell them when they need to be dressy. Mercersburg’s convocation is dressy and photos are taken that day.
It’s a fine line that one must walk in order to be a fashionista instead of a fashion victim 
I am learning so much here. Thank you @GoldPenn !
