Winning Wednesday: My Favorite Fashion Giveaways

Winning a giveaway is fantastic for two reasons: 1.) You have a new item to add to your wardrobe for free. What could be more frugal than that!? 2.) You are (most likely) introduced to a new company/store/brand/what-have-you. This is a great way to try something you either might not have bought on your own or try something you may have never heard about prior! I love that. This, my friends, is why every week I write a little post called Winning Wednesday. I hope you like this week's picks!

2. Woman Tribune is giving away a $100 AMEX gift card to spend at a Liz Claiborne New York Outlet. You should be able to pick up a fair amount of goodies with that as these stores are sadly closing their doors. Click here to enter! Ends: November 4, 2010

Giveaways/Sweepstakes Around The Net

I'm busy scouring the WWW for 25 of my most favorite items to give as a gift. No, it's not for my own personal gift giving this holiday season necessarily... but more like ideas for you and lots of other people... I'll let you know more about that later. :)

No outfit post for today because, well, I went grocery shopping after work and then came home and flopped down on the couch to read my latest issue of Saveur.

I do, however, have a few giveaways and sweepstakes to share with you. What better way to be a frugal fashionista but to enter to win free fashions!? Another reason why I love fashion giveaways is because it introduces me to a product/line that I may have never known about otherwise.

The ultimate frugal fashion move: WIN your fashions

Today is a lesson in ultimate fashion frugality: Winning amazing fashions. I mean, cheap fashion is fantastic. There is nothing quite like a great sale, the perfect clearance rack find or, better yet, the most amazing thrift store treasure. BUT. Have you ever WON an amazing fashion item? Free fashion? Yes, it happens.

That being said, I thought you might want to know about a fantastic giveaway going on at the Barneys New York website.
