When it comes to finding frugal fashions, I can bargain shop like the best of them, and I can thank my mother and Nana for instilling this 6th sense in me. Nana has always been a stylish woman – layering items from her incredible collection of costume jewels, adding a colorful scarf to her classic blouse and jacket ensembles, and of course her lovely bunch of coats with fur accents (but all on a dime, even making her own clothes). I appreciate how she has managed to stay current, allowing her classic style to evolve over time (she can definitely rock a pair of colored jeans!). I will continue to be inspired by my Nana ... and continue to borrow items, like this coat, from her closet!  

Below, a few chic looks from years past (note to self: dig out that floral swing coat asap)
