thrift-store-haul-looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrift-style-affordable-fashion We have less than 30 days left in 2014 and that means I've been going strong with my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge for 11 months now! I can't believe the year is coming to an end, but I really can't believe TT365 is almost a wrap.

For November, I hit up a few Salvation Army locations, two to be exact. My scores range from a faux leather skirt with the tags still attached to vintage sweaters and a dainty purse.Check out a few of the items I thrifted this month and see how much I spent!

DSW is helping to alleviate the stress of #2 with their gift guide.
