Haggling Pro

I mentioned that I spent $3 last weekend and I bought a few things; including this sequin top. I had never done a yard sale before but this gem was sparkling as I drove by. So, I pulled over and picked it up and asked the woman "how much?"

"$2"

So I picked up a skirt which had refashion potential and offered her $2 for both.

"Noooo, NO. That shirt is a party top and was really expensive."

I just stared at her until she caved. I didn't even have to negotiate! 

Score! But I noticed the top was made of wool and was soooo moth-eaten, 

I'm surprised the sequins were still hanging on. 

You can see the condition this top was in; mucho need of TLC.

So I cut off the fringe beading at the bottom, sewed up all the holes

and sewed all the dangling bead work down. 

This took me a whole dang week to finish!

But check out the result. 

Best $1 I spent.

Anyway, I thought I'd drive around and test my new-found haggling skills elsewhere. 

What do you know; I also bought a necklace and a pair of pants for $1.

They're in the refashion backlog. 

Have a spectacular Labor Day!

Be back Tuesday.
