Ok, so I have purchased things from E-bay in the past, but mostly just textbooks to save some moolah. I have now realized there is an entire world of vintage clothing, and discounted name brand clothing that I can get my hands on for much lower than I could ever get in the stores. Who knew there was so much on E-bay? Well maybe you did, but I sure did not!

So first thing, I decided to search for some boots. I have been wanting a pair of J. Crew or Banana Republic boots for quite some time now, but I can never justify spending upwards of $300 on them. By the time they go on sale at the end of the season, my size (a popular 7) is long gone. Well, I took a chance and bid on a pair of black Banana Republic boots, and low and behold they are now mine for less than $50:

I also picked up a scarf, J. Crew bracelet and J. Crew metallic ballet flats as well. As much as I love clothes and accessories, this could be dangerous. Although, I suppose it is better than paying full price in the stores! Do you gals purchase items off E-bay to try to save some dough in these crazy economic times?
