Well, it's here! And it only made sense to start with a bang.I love Chrisette Michele's music and the singer is also a pro thrifter. She recently shared a video on her site, Rich Hipster, of her getting into a little vintage shopping while in Florida. She scored a ton of affordable pieces at an indie vintage shop and even shows how she styled them.Check out the short videos below for Chrisette Michele's thrift shop adventure and vintage styling advice

looking fly on a dime, what i wore
It's no secret that I love anything fun, flirty and feminine. But the tricky part about wearing a super feminine piece, particularly tulle, is making sure you don't look like a four year old playing dress up. So when Kohl's sent over this LC Lauren Conrad Tulle Maxi Skirt {available mid November}, I had two thoughts. 1. I'm in love!!!! 2. What am I going to wear it with?!
It was actually quite easy to style this piece. I just whipped out a few wardrobe staples {blouse, chic earrings, bold purse} and a nice layering piece like a vest. And of course, everything was thrifted for just a few bucks.

thrifty threads, thrift shopping tip This weekend I was having one of those days where I didn't want to get too dressed up, but didn't want to be super casual either. So I whipped out my new favorite pants scored from the Salvation Army. Though I'm typically a skinny jeans or dress type of girl, these drawstring pants with tapered leg are my new BFF. Besides being supremely comfortable, they pair well with almost anything in my closet.
After getting dressed, I realized my entire outfit {head to toe!} was less than 20 bucks.

Thriftspiration, how to vintage shop

Name: Jacque Location: Lawrence, KansasWhen and why did you start thrift shopping? I started thrifting three years ago because I was a broke college student. I was inspired by ladies like yourself to shed the stigma of wearing "used clothes." Now, instead of spending money buying cheaply made clothing, I spend the time to find quality, sometimes even designer clothing, for a fraction of the price.What three words would you use to describe your style? Girly, girly, girly!How did you style your outfits? My style is actually pretty simple: Step 1. Grab something high waisted. Step 2. Tuck in your blouse. Step 3 {optional}. Wear a hat! I was once told that my style is repetitive, but it's my style and I'm sticking to it.
