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. Thrifty Threads 365 challenge

Last week was all about how to rock a bodycon dress from day to night, but for this week's Thrifty Threads, I wanted a look that was comfortable and chic for day to night,
When it comes to versatility, I'm really feeling jumpsuits. So I knew I had to whip out my Uniqlo jumper I scored from the Salvation Army. I previously wore this $7 jumpsuit in the dead of winter, but now I stripped down a few layers for a spring look.

Looking Fly on a Dime: Top Brands for Affordable, Quality Denim
Though I'm usually a dress kinda girl {did you see my last Thrifty Threads bodycon dress post!?}, I also love a good skinny jean. They're super comfortable and easily dress up or down.
I've thrifted a few pairs of great jeans, but I always have an issue with finding quality denim that fits. I'm petite {only 5'2"} but I've got a little booty and some thighs, so avoiding the dreaded waist gap is an issue. Oh, and you know when you've been rocking a pair of jeans for too long and they get the dreaded crotch rip? I've even worn designer denim that rip after too much wear.
But luckily, after years of being a skinny jean connoisseur {more than 20 pairs!}, I've narrowed down my top 3 brands for affordable, quality denim. These won't set you back a ton and there's no crotch rip!
