Thrifty Threads 365 fashion challenge

Last week I managed to do some thrift shopping and walked away with two dresses that are my new favorites in my closet, but I say that every time I thrift shop. In addition to my cute frocks, I scored a dainty vintage sweater, Calvin Klein skirt and these awesome leopard open toe booties I Instagrammed.My monthly budget for my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is $50 and I managed to stay under budget by almost 20 bucks!Check out what else I found during my recent thrift shopping trip.

This weekend I did something a little different...I went thrifting on a weekend. I typically go during the week, on a day off or on my lunch break, so I can avoid massive crowds. But I was pleasantly surprised that the Salvation Army was practically empty. Well, not empty, there were about a dozen people. I normally visit the Salv {46th St. between 10th and 11th} on Wednesday when most clothing is 50 percent off, but on this Saturday visit, all blue ticket items were half off.I didn't have to deal with a crowd and I walked away with great items. Check out my finds: tons of color and a brand spankin' new pair of BCBG pants {originally $188 for less than 10 bucks!}.I love that the store now has a small rack designated for vintage finds.
