		<description><![CDATA[This dress found me at the Custard Factory&#8217;s vintage flea market held every Saturday in Birmingham, England ($30).  Its fun details made it stand out.  I adore the silvery bejewelled, empire waist.  It&#8217;s label-less and homemade &#8212; demanding a trained eye to size it up.  In fact, all vintage dresses do.  I normally wear a US size 8-10, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crystalluxmore.com&amp;blog=749167&amp;post=236&amp;subd=thriftygirl&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When rummaging through racks of used dresses it&#8217;s easy to get lost in the heady mix of stained musty goodness.  But keeping the &#8220;classics&#8221; in mind will help you get a lock on vintage dynamite.  I spied this red, button down, shirtdress, with it&#8217;s classic chain print, while rummaging through Birmingham&#8217;s aptly-named Vintage Clothing store in Digbeth.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crystalluxmore.com&amp;blog=749167&amp;post=231&amp;subd=thriftygirl&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I was pumped.  There&#8217;s nothing I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crystalluxmore.com&amp;blog=749167&amp;post=86&amp;subd=thriftygirl&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
