Frugal Fashion Week Contest Winner

June 25, 2007 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

And the winner of the copy of How to Be a Budget Fashionista by Kathryn Finney is. . .

Claire!

And here’s her tip:

I’m rehabing a denim jacket that had gotten frayed at the cuffs and collar. I’ve removed the cuffs and collar and am using them as patterns to cut out pieces from vintage fabric scraps I had on hand. When it’s done, I’ll have a unique shabby chic jacket with a lot more wear left in it and I’ll have saved myself at least $30 (what it would have cost to replace the jacket).

Keep an eye out for the rest of this week for some more of the tips that were sent in. Please do keep in mind-I am on vacation through the 8th, so my posting schedule may be slightly more irregular than usual.

    That sounds really cute! I’d love to see a picture of the finished product.

I’m Jenn –an Upstate NY wife, mom, blogger and veteran. I talk very fast, read constantly, take on too much and make plenty of mistakes. I’m a real person, not perfection. I love to talk about the frugal lifestyle, “Village Homesteading”, living a more sustainable lifestyle and being prepared for all the curves life throws at you.
