Goodwill Good Buy of the Week
I adore this lovely vintage dress, but I can’t help but wonder why someone didn’t save it for me? Oh well—I can’t steal all the beautiful dresses we encounter at DC’s Goodwill locations! Sharing is caring, and I’m so glad to share this dress with you. This vintage dress is probably from the early 1960s, [...]

The overwhelming response here on the blog and on Twitter is that a used wedding dress is as good—if not better than— a new one!

Something old, something new—how do you feel about secondhand wedding gowns?
Ah, the Big Day. Aren’t weddings glorious, dear reader? The dress, the flowers, the cake…oh, my, the cake! Don’t worry, I’m not hearing wedding bells. But I did recently go shopping with a friend who is. She’s a vintage fan, and she hoped to find something nostalgic that still bucked some of today’s traditions. It [...]

After a fruitless day of shopping at the Columbia Pike Goodwill store (okay, I got plenty of stuff, but not what I set out to find!), I struck out on my own to peruse the Rockville location. I had to find something to wear to the Fashion Fights Poverty gala! I did find something: a [...]

Guest Blogger: Beltway Bargain Mom’s Favorite Vintage Pieces
With a blog name like “Beltway Bargain Mom,” it doesn’t surprise most people that I like to scout out good deals. I’m constantly on the hunt for good deals at the grocery store and retail stores and I don’t like to pay full price. For clothes I tend to wait for a good sale and [...]
