looking-fly-on-a-dime-closet-revamp-how-to-clean-your-closetThis past weekend I did something I never thought I'd do: I donated a fourth of my wardrobe. I'm not exaggerating. From Friday night to Sunday night {with a break to watch The Walking Dead!}, I cleaned out every rack, drawer and bin.I donated 20 bags of clothes, accessories, shoes, beauty products, books and more {I documented all of the action on Snapchat @PatriceJWill}. It wasn't just great to give back to the thrift stores, but from a selfish standpoint, it was the best thing for my closet. And below are four ways a closet revamp can benefit your style as well.

looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threads-boot-cut-jeans-denizen-jeansI'm a skinny jean lover, so I was a bit surprised when bootcut jeans started to trend. But, I'm here for them! They're actually a nice departure from the skinnies. And last month I found a perfect pair.Like most women, I kinda hate shopping for jeans. My dilemma is they're too long and/or I have gaping at the waist. But whether you're a size 2 or 20, it just seems difficult to find the one.But these Denizen bootcut jeans from Target fit perfectly. No tailoring needed and less than $30!

looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threads-zara-maxi-skirt It's officially fall and while I may be rocking layers and chunky sweaters in a few weeks, for now I'm still hanging on to my summer threads. Well, with the addition of a fall wardrobe staple.During my Salvation Army thrift shopping trip two weeks ago {I shop on Wednesdays when most items are half off!}, I scored big! And a few of the pieces I bought included an embellished crop top from H&M and a sheer maxi skirt from Zara. They were the perfect pieces for my latest Thrifty Threads outfit.
