A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the PR crew from Savers to be a fashion ambassador. My mission? Scour the Savers near me for some magical fashion finds.

I’ll admit, I’ve never been a Savers shopper. But I have heard many a story about the Savers in North Scottsdale. And when I say story, I mean, the stuff of legend. Epic. Fashion. Legends.

An unwanted Chanel skirt. A vintage Prada handbag. This particular Savers, I’ve heard over and over again, is a virtual treasure trove hidden with designer gems, rife for the picking.

So, I accepted the challenge. And I went hunting…

I scored:

A pair of Current/Elliot jeans for…wait for it….$11. Omg….I die…

This cute little black dress. I’ll be altering the bottom but I loved the chain detailing on the neck. Also a mere $11.

This glamorous aryn K. gold sequin dress, never used with tags still intact! It needs to be tailored at the waist just a bit but was a fabulous budget find.

I also picked up a pair of Citizens for Humanity jeans, a bit too big but I’ll be hacking them into cute summer cutoffs and a simple summer dress that’s perfect for working from home.

Total cost? $110. I can’t even get a pair of jeans for $110 these days…
