Here's how taking a shopping hiatus can help you define your style and benefit your wardrobeA few days ago I received an Instagram comment and someone asked when's my next thrift shopping haul. Well, the thing is, I've kinda stopped shopping, so I don't know when my next haul video will be.This shopping hiatus hasn't been intentional {it's a combo of cleaning out my closet and moving to a new place with limited space}, but it's been surprisingly beneficial.Here's why taking a shopping break can be a great thing, not just for your wallet, but your style as well.

Thrift Shopping Haul - Fall and Winter Essentials for less than $15 What better way to start the year off than with a thrift haul? I realized I haven't done a proper haul for a few months {forgive me!}, but in late November and December I found some really amazing pieces at local thrift shops.

Peep the video below to see what I scored, as well as a few thrift shopping tips, including how you can negotiate prices at some shops!

That's how I feel about some of my clothes.If you subscribe to my YouTube channel, then you know I upload videos of some of the actual outfits I post here on the blog. Instead of just seeing pics of the clothes, the videos show you exactly how they move.And I recently uploaded a few videos that are perfect for the holiday season.

Maybe it's the actual garment and sometimes it's your disbelief that a certain store carries such a cute piece.That's what happened when I went thrift shopping two weeks ago. I found this cobalt blue full midi skirt and fell in love. It was the color. The cut. The knee length split. And I was amazed to discover it was from Old Navy. Yes, Old Navy! I've never shopped at Old Navy {besides their dollar flip flops}, but I was surprised such a chic piece originated in their store.
