Win a gift certificate to Sunshine Thrift!
Last week, your Deal Divas visited the Clearwater Yacht Club to speak to the ladies there about fashion trends and tips. And although it is a very fine yacht club, we also encouraged the members to check out local thrift stores for affordable finds. We mentioned Sunshine Thrift, one of our favorite thrift shops with locations in St. Pete and Tampa. It was then I noticed that Kameel was wearing a bright yellow corduroy jacket that actually belonged to Katie, a fact which I know because I was with Katie when she bought it... AT SUNSHINE THRIFT. If you need further evidence, follow this link. Yep, we are true to our penny-pinching word. And we share!
Just for giggles, here's a picture the blazer in question, and the others throwing some serious shade at me while I hogged the yacht club mic.
Such LOVE.
Anyway, just as with the savvy women of the yacht club, we think everyone should shop local thrift stores, treasure troves of great vintage and current fashion finds. As it turns out, Sunshine Thrift is running a contest for Valentine's Day, and you could win a free gift card to go bananas and seek your own yellow blazer to share with friends. They're asking you to buy a Valentine's gift at the store, or supplies with which to make a Valentine's gift, and post the finished product on their Facebook page. One lucky winner will get a gift card. Deadline to submit is Feb. 22. No word yet how big the gift card will be, but it sounds like a fun proposition anyway, and you KNOW your boyfriend wants a romantic gift basket fashioned from an antique candelabra and a pair of Army pants.
Here's the Sunshine Thrift Facebook page. Good luck!

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan, she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
From camo pants and construction boots to sundresses, sweaters and sling backs, Keyonna Summers knows how to make all of it rock -- at rock bottom prices.
