Pittsburgh girl on a budget: Natalie

Pittsburgh girls have style and they do it on a budget! Whether they are still living in the city or bringing their style to another place, Pittsburgh girls know how to bargain hunt and look fabulous! Natalie, a 36 year-old administrative secretary from Pittsburgh talks about her style, her best bargain, and that dream purchase!

What is one word to describe your style?

Comfortable

What are your wardrobe staples?

Jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, and boots

What is one piece of fashion you could never pull off?

High-waisted pants

What is your favorite clothing season (fall, winter, spring, summer)?

Fall

What stores do you regularly shop in?

I pretty much just shop at Goodwill, but I look for Betsey Johnson, White House Black Market, Roxy, Lilly Pulitzer.

What was the best deal you ever found?

I bought a pair of jeans at Goodwill for $7 and then found a $20 in the pocket after I brought them home. Score! At the same Goodwill I found two pairs of Lilly Pulitzer capris for $2 each. They obviously had no idea who she is.

If you were given $1000 and could splurge on one item of clothing/shoes/purses/jewelry, what would you buy?

I would never spend $1000 on any one thing, but I'll say a Missoni or Alexander McQueen outfit.
