Discount Codes From Blogs You Loathe
Perhaps “loathe” is unfairly hateful, but you know those mommy and/or style blogs you love to hate-read? Part of the reason you need to keep tabs on them every once in a while is because they have a ton of discount codes to actually decent places. I know. Life is unfair. A Cup of Jo has some great ones, as well as Oh Joy & (DO NOT look at this one often unless you want to feel constantly inferior) Love Taza.
Give in to ASOS
I tried to resist for a long time. I figured it was all cheap, H&M-like stuff that wasn’t worth my time. Some coworkers convinced me otherwise, and now I’m totally sold. Try to ignore the fact that the models are clearly 16, and you’ll be fine. They actually have a crazy wide range of prices and styles. For example, it pleases me that they know I will only consider purchasing something like this: 
…if it’s under $25. Some of my recent favorites include this awesome flannel shirt and beanie, or this secksy dress that I’m working up the courage to actually wear. Courage is required because this is how dorky I look in the other two items:
Bekah, I need selfie help. But seriously, I submit myself to the ASOS overlords. You win.
Get yourself a Lady Coat already
I can’t believe I’m dishing out this advice, but in case you’re like I was a year ago and only had jackets or walking-sleeping-bag down coats, get thyself a Lady Coat because you are A F*CKING LADY. It makes you feel like a million bucks, even if you’re wearing pajamas underneath. Been there. No shame. I found one on sale last year by Mackage, and I wholeheartedly recommend the brand for their tendency to embellish the sh*t out of things, add leather detailing that makes the dry cleaner cry, and for the fact that a lot of their styles are asymmetrical and that makes me feel ARTSY and UNIQUE. Downside: they’re expensive as hell. I found some on Ebay that are much more budget-friendly.
For the love of Ron, invest in some boots
Again, I kind of hate myself for saying something so obvious, but I’ve finally learned that you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to ass kicking boots. I caved and went Frye. As if that price tag weren’t bad enough, they came with a free week of tears as they cut apart my heels. Apparently this is some disgusting blood-sister “Frye rite of passage” that some people feel is important. I guess I’m in the inner circle now, of righteous Frye-worshippers who are pushing their agenda upon others. So yea, get these. They make me feel like I can take out a biker gang, even when I’m rocking my ASOS girly flannel and pink lipstick.
Shop on this secret blog
Ok, so it’s not really a secret, because I actually mentioned this in my VERY FIRST post for TN – ahhh, the nostalgia! As I explained before, Laws of General Economy is an old school, rockin’ that blogspot way to buy clothes & accessories from other people. I like using it for times like these in which I am itching to buy stuff, but I need there to be some element of chance involved, because I “shouldn’t really be spending money.” On the blog, if you are serious about buying something, you comment with your PayPal email within the allotted time (usually a week), and the “winner” will be drawn randomly from the comments. There’s some pretty great stuff on here, including some designer things. Do it. It’s not REALLY shopping. Nope.
Now, what the hell do I wear to my company Christmas party? HALP.
What are you setting your money on fire about right now? Have you fallen prey to ASOS as well? Tell me you’re not buying the glittery sh*t from Anthropologie. DON’T DO IT.
