Donna L. Johnson - Austin, TX Style Blogger
How many times have you seen one of those “get the look for less” segments on tv or in a magazine? And how many times have you looked at the “less” price and still thought it was too expensive?

Yeah…I know. That’s the very reason why I started this personal style blog.

While the rest of America is extreme couponing to stockpile hand sanitizer and cereal by the truckloads – you can find me at one of my favorite hangouts. The clearance rack.

My mission is simple: Avoid high prices. Elude the fashion police.

All of the outfit styling here on my blog is done by me (with an occasional bit of unsolicited advice from The Girl, my daughter).

I have no formal fashion training whatsoever. I’ve never stepped foot into a modeling, image, beauty, or other industry specific role - paid, intern, or otherwise. And having said that, if you see any kind of fancy fashion lingo here, you can rest assured I googled it.

This page and my entire blog will continue to evolve. I suggest you subscribe so you don’t miss out on anything.

There are tons of personal style blogs and I appreciate you taking the time to read and follow mine.
