Last weekend was my first group thrift shopping tour of the season and we had a great time. In between helping shoppers score some cheap chic finds, I was able to snag a few items for myself. And of course I want to share what I bought as well as some tips I gave the thrifters on the tour.One recurring theme was how to step out of your style comfort zone, particularly when it comes to ditching a neutral heavy wardrobe and embracing color. 
What: Tevolio Strapless Wrap-Front Chiffon Maxi Dress from TargetWhy: A maxi is that one dress that works for women of all sizes. It's the go-to frock for an effortlessly chic look.Though this Target dress is intended to be for a bridesmaid, it's easily wearable for any occasion. It ranges in sizes from 2 to 28W, so whether you're petite or plus, you can look your best. It's also available in 10 colors like blue ocean {above}, Florida mango and sassy yellow. And this is a single item that you can wear now and in to fall {just throw on a light jacket to keep the chill away when the temps dip}. 
The weather is getting warmer and I'm bringing back my group thrift shopping tours. Though I host private tours and individual style sessions throughout the year, it's time to get a group together and hit the NYC thrift scene.On Saturday, June 1, we'll venture to East 23rd Street, which has a row of secondhand stores including Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army.
