Thrifty Penny Week

Kindly sponsored by 

I like Lent. Surrendering the delight of something dear only sweetens a more moderate reunion.

In honor of Lent two thousand + eleven I have selected a spending fast. Meaning, in addition to other extras, I refrain from the purchase of clothing for Missus, Mister, Little Miss, and Tiny Mister for a minimum of forty days.

Even in case of emergencies (such as Baby Boyfriends approaching Baby Blessing), we must borrow, trade, or remake.

Sun Forever Dress, $34.99

And according to the official spending fast handbook, winning is also an acceptable means of maintaining Lent.

Therefore, I encourage you to win the DownEast New Arrival of your choice in time for Easter, without disturbing your nest egg:

pronounced pen-ee-yon-nare

While fashion rules are made to be broken, the breaking of contest rules will only result in disqualification

Secondly, Click on the “Click here to enter” link below.
Thirdly, In the “Link it to:” section, leave a link to a post which features a thrifty ensemble. (note-the whole post doesn’t need to be about the ensemble, it just needs to include it)
Fourthly, In the “Caption or Title:” section, elaborate on how you are savings dozens if not hundreds of pennies on your fashion ensemble. (ie-borrowed dress from friend)
Fifthly, wait for the winner of the Thrifty Penny Giveaway to be announced Friday, April 1st.

My daughter’s nickname is Penny, so I especially love the blog button you’re including in this post 🙂

Thanks so much! My technological skills were being challenged, and I thought there was some sort of error–thus the duplicate entries for numbers 22 and 23. Please forgive the mistake!

Thanks Sally,
That piece is actually vintage. Check your local antique store or grandma’s jewelry box, I bet you can find something similar.

That dress looks much better on you than on the model! Cool idea- it was fun to look through the entries!
