Nifty Thrifty Ambush Makeover
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- With the changing winds of the fall season now upon us, you may be thinking it's time for a change in wardrobe, but don't head to the department store just yet. Vittoria Woodill went to Retrospect Vintage on South Street with $50 and one hour to shop, to pull off a Nifty Thrifty MAKEOVER!
As Vittoria prowled the streets of Philly, she found one lucky lady on her lunch break who was game for a Nifty makeover. Heading back into the thrift shop along with makeover volunteer Kanitra Nichols, a cosmetology student and her two friends, Candace Simmons and Naimah Muhammed, they shopped the racks to find a fab fall look under fifty bucks.
A solid-colored blue long sleeve sweater dress for $16 became the perfect starting point for the fall look. A well fitting sweater dress is always a go-to fall essential. Another investment piece for fall is a printed coat. Plaid is a great print for fall and always in style with it's cozy feel and bold flare. Luckily we found a "coat" for $18! And get this! Since thrift stores are always full of surprises our thrift found plaid coat is actually a robe for the bedroom. SCORE! A pretty blue necklace for $3 and taupe booties for $5.99 tie the whole ensemble together with class and fall spice.
So if you add that all together that's a total of $42.99 with some more leftover for pumpkin spice lattes! Isn't that Nifty!
It sure does pay to be Nifty Thrifty!
