The first Adventures in Thrifting, where a few readers and I hit up three thrift shops back to back, was a success and it's time to do it again. So the next Adventures in Thrifting is scheduled for Saturday, August 13 and the theme is Throw it In the Bag! Last week I let you guys in on the fun that is the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale {$25 for a full bag of clothing}, but this time I want you guys to join me. I met a few...

After last week's massive Housing Works haul where I snagged 29 pieces of clothing for $10, I was dying to wear one item in particular. My favorite piece had to be the polka dot halter dress my girl Danielle found for me. Though I'm not a fan of polka dots, the dress has such a vintage-y glam feel. And I decided to go all out with the glam factor and add the wide brim hat I also got from Housing Works.

On Monday I gave you guys the rundown of last weekend's Housing Works $25 all you can stuff in a bag sale and now I'm showing off the goodies I nabbed. The warehouse was full of secondhand threads and I was able to fit 29 pieces of clothing in one bag. Though the bag normally costs $25, I took advantage of a Groupon deal so the price was only $10. If you break that down per item, the cost is less than 35 cents per piece!

Check out a few of my favorite finds from the Housing Works sale.

This past weekend I was in thrifter's heaven at the infamous Housing Works warehouse sale. The $25 Buy the Bag event featured bins, boxes and crates of thrifted clothing for anyone brave enough to deal with the 90 plus NYC weather. In last week's video I showed you how to prepare for a sale like this and now I want to share how the event went down.The awesome Housing Works staff let me take a peek at the scene before the hungry crowd entered. Several dozen bins were piled high with goodies.

Since most of my wardrobe is thrifted, there are times when I rock a head to toe thrift store look. And that's exactly what happened this week. I wanted a nice pop of color so I chose my red, sweetheart neckline dress I recently bought from the Salvation Army. After picking out my accessories, I realized the entire ensemble was courtesy of thrift stores {minus an adorable straw purse my cousin gave me a few months ago}.
