About TCB

Hi. I'm Tracy.

I'm a lot of things — a mom, a bargain hunter, a woman with entirely too many opinions about waistbands, and the person who started The Chic Bargainista because I kept finding things that were too good not to share.

I'm 6 feet tall. I have hips. I have strong feelings about how clothes actually fit on a real human body living a real human life. When I tell you something runs small, I am telling you from personal experience in a fitting room with strong feelings and no patience for surprises.

I built this place for women like me. The ones who laugh too loud and don't apologize for it. The ones who have enough life behind them to know that confidence matters more than perfection. The ones who are still figuring it out and doing it anyway.

Here's what I believe with my whole chest: a beautiful piece has nothing to do with the size on the tag or the price attached to it. Style is about how something makes you feel. That moment when you put something on and stand a little taller. Remember exactly who you are. That's the whole point.

I work hard to carry pieces across sizes and price points because every woman deserves to feel like a badass queen — full stop. No asterisk. Not "every woman who fits into this one thing." Every woman.

Whether you're here for everyday confidence, a main character moment, or just something that makes you feel like yourself again — I want you to find it here.

Welcome home.

— Tracy
