Ready, Set, Thrift! Shopping Event - What You Missed
This past Saturday was my big Ready, Set, Thrift! event at Housing Works Buy the Bag. With more than 60 thrifters on hand, we had a great afternoon of shopping, raffles, games, light bites and laughs. Clothes were just $20 per bag {reduced from $25} and everyone walked away with at least one bag {one shopper had 8!}.
If you missed the event, here's what went down.

Fresh, Affordable Picks for a Summer Party

Last week I was in serious prep mode for my Ready, Set, Thrift! party {full recap coming soon} and I went to one of my fave places for cheap chic decorations: the dollar store!
With a little inspiration from the Caress® Emerald Rush™ Fresh Collection body wash, I knew exactly what I envisioned for my set up.

Ready, Set, Thrift! with Looking Fly on a Dime
Tomorrow {Saturday} is my second installment of Ready, Set, Thrift! and I couldn't be more excited. The thrift shopping party is being hosted at Housing Works Buy the Bag in Brooklyn. You guys already know I'm a hardcore Buy the Bag fan and at $25 for a bag full of clothing, what's not to love?
For tomorrow's event, clothes will be just $20 per bag! I've managed to stuff close to 40 items in a single bag, so that's some serious bang for your limited buck.
