" I&amp;#039;m obsessed with quality, so when it comes to fashion, I tend to be more of a splurger than a bargain-hunter. However, there was a time when I would ONLY shop second-hand at a local shop. I&amp;#039;m not as much of a thrifter anymore, but one warm spring day last year I experienced the bargain of a lifetime! A friend and I stumbled upon a Goodwill store in Boston. Both having an eye for finding gems amongst a pile of chaos, we came across a metallic cross-shoulder bag. The way light glistened on its criss-cross pattern immediately caught our attention and in that moment we both decided we had to have it! Being generous, she offered it to me. I graciously accepted (thinking thank-you-thank-you-thank-you!), and told her she could borrow it anytime. Pulling out the price tag, my jaw nearly dropped - the purse only cost two dollars!  It has since then become a summer staple. I love wearing it with light colors for a fresh look, and with dark colors to make a bold statement. I love that it has a vintage, thrifted look to it, yet stands out as a sophisticated, timeless piece that will always have a special place in my wardrobe.  So what has your biggest fashion bargain been? I&amp;#039;d love to hear from you guys!
