Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details check the original post here. 
My latest thrift shopping haul for the month of January
Yesterday I hit up my fave midtown thrift store, Salvation Army on 46th St, and struck thrift gold after less than an hour. I wasn't exactly looking for anything in particular, but I'm always on the look out for more dresses. Also, Wednesday is Family Day, so most clothes and accessories are half off.
My final bill was just under 10 bucks and I walked away with great pieces I can wear now and easily transition in to spring.

Decorating on a Dime: Make Dollar Store Pieces Chic

The days of dollar stores and affordable shops like Family Dollar only selling cheap trinkets and paper products are long gone. Now you can find reputable beauty products, decorate your house and even buy groceries…all for the low, low!On a recent trip to Family Dollar, I stumbled across this cute, $22 drawer organizer. I knew it would be perfect to contain my accessories that are scattered all over the place. The fact that it has a cappuccino finish is definitely a plus because it creates a chic, modern feel. Although it came with six pull out bins, I decided to switch it up a little bit to create a one of a kind look that's functional and unique to my style.
