Here’s 3 items to make your tank top outfit a fashion hit.

Every now and then, several of stores and department stores have various promotions that offer you a free item with a certain amount of purchase. So, what do you with those freebies?

Well, just yesterday, for the first time, I used a silver sparkle clutch that I had gotten for free from Victoria’s Secret. I had gotten this silver sparkle clutch last December and I thought I’d never use it. But, now that silver is huge, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of this cute freebie. Two years ago, when doing my Black Friday shopping at another Victoria’s Secret store, I spent $75 and got the Victoria’s Secret Supermodel Tote. I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t be caught carrying it while having coffee with my girlfriends, but it made one hell of a bag for all my sewing materials and fabrics, when I took sewing classes in college. And those of you that have taken a sewing class before will know exactly what I’m talking about. Last week, I left with a pair of free lime green flip-flops from Bath and Body Works, and another time I left with a free make-up bag, filled with lotion and cosmetics goodies when I purchased a Clinique Foundation from the Cosmetics Department at Macy’s.

Bottom line is, that you don’t have to spend tons of money to look good. All you have to do is take advantage of all the freebies given to you, and make as much use as you can out of them. Right?
