Journey down Highway 49

Have you ever traveled down Highway 49 from Jackson to Hattiesburg?  With all the junk yards and antique stores galore, I think it would be the Picker Sister's, who love to turn junk into great looking furniture, dream come true. Usually, I try to visit as many of these little shops as a day will allow.  On my most recent trip, though, I focused more on finding good fashion deals.

My first stop, which was inspired by a video that I saw on iShopMS.org, was in Mendenhall, Mississippi.  The store is called Rockin' M Ranchwear, and although it does stock boots and cowboy hats, it is more of a boutique or gift shop than anything else.  On the iShopMS video, the style guru showed a gray cotton dress (that was nothing special) that the store sold for $80!  After seeing that, I had to check this place out to make sure that it had something other than over-priced dresses.  And lucky for you and me, it does!

This hobo look alike in a perfect fall color was only $5!

These adorable shorts were on sale for $16!  Add some tights and boots and you have a great fall look!

This funky little tunic would look great with black skinny jeans and boots and it's only $15! Originally  marked for $48.

So if you ever find yourself in Mendenhall, MS go ahead and drop on in to Rockin' M and see what kind of deals you find!

The next place I stopped is an all-time favorite of mine:  United Apparel Liquidators (UAL) located at 1829 Hardy Street in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.  If you have always envied people who could afford the name brands at Maison Weiss, your green, jelly-bellied self will be tickled pink to discover the variety of high-fashion brands at reasonably discounted prices awaiting you at UAL.  Included among the fabulous finds are Vera Wang, Cynthia Steffe, Juicy Couture, and Burberry. 

This sweet dress with pockets is Twelfth Street by Cinthia Steefe and is only $79.99!

This fun Marc Jacobs dress made out of 100% silk was originally $568 but at UAL you can get it for   $170.99!

For you Tory Burch fanatics out there this beautiful sequined dress has the retail value of $695 but at UAL it's only $149.99!

Until next time...HAPPY HUNTING!
