Sales & Tax Free

Just a reminder for anyone who lives in TN this weekend Aug 6 - 8 is tax free weekend. This year's tax-free holiday weekend begins at 12:01 a.m on Friday, August 6th and ends Sunday, August 8th at 11:59 p.m. Tax-free items include clothing with a price of $100 or less per item, school and school art supplies with a price of $100 or less per item and computers with a price of $1,500 or less.
Shoes.com is having a 10% off sale site wide right now. Also with promo code BTSSHOES10 you can get 15% off, and free shipping. I'm not sure if this code will work with the 10% off but it's always worth a try. 

Another great way to stay in style is to do it yourself. Got an old pair of jeans, glitz them up with a bit of glitter, or gems. Got an old pair of shoes, or flipflops? Add some glitz to them as well. Add some jewels to a belt and you have a new look. The possibilities are endless!

A few ideas with jeans:
Add paint to them - just splash it around where ever you like. It's supposed to look messy, so there's not really a way to mess them up.
Add patches - You can buy iron on patches that you can stick on the back pockets or knees for a really cool look.
Trim your jeans with beads or gems. Go around pocket edges, down the seam, or create a pattern or initials on the back pockets.
Turn them into capris and add some flare at the bottom.
Want them to have that worn look that cost a lot of money? Get out the sandpaper and rub them down!

More tips on creating your own fashion to come!

  1. I'm going to try these tips. I've never thought of doing the sandpaper thing. Very cool.
    I wish I lived in TN right now for those great deals!
