Fashionista Friday: Shanna

Yours truly with Goodwill’s Shanna Gidwani at our 2012 gala

You may not know Shanna, but you certainly know her influence around Goodwill of Greater Washington. She keeps this blog running, is behind the scenes at almost every local Goodwill event, and you can even find her rummaging through the racks at our local Goodwill stores to find tons of Good Buys.

What Shanna doesn’t let on about herself, though, is that she is a pretty savvy shopper. She certainly gives the DCGF a run for my money!

After the grand opening of our new Annandale Plaza store last weekend, Shanna shared a photo of her finds with this steller testimonial:

“This is why you gotta shop at Goodwill. I paid $20 for a brand new sweater, shoes, and 2 paper lanterns and then a hat. I looked up the original prices. The boots are from Nordstrom and would have cost me $200. The hat is from Nordstrom and would have cost me $40. The sweater would have cost me $40-50. Convinced yet?”

And it’s not just grand-opening luck, either. Shanna has a knack for pulling new-with-tags items from the racks at every Goodwill I’ve seen her shop. Take a look at her most recent haul:

You’ve got to admit. She knows what she’s doing.

Shanna, I know you’ll never admit it, but you’re totally a fashionista. You’re a shining example for other Goodwill shoppers!
