Thrifty Threads 365, style challenge
Every woman has that skirt, shirt or purse she can't live without. For me, right now, my favorite flirty skirt is an LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's tulle maxi {no longer available} and I'm kinda sorta finally getting into the crop top trend, so I'm wearing my vintage top from Clothes Contact in San Francisco.
The last time I rocked the tulle skirt was this past winter with a silky top and fur vest {seen here} and I just wore the crop top a few weeks ago with a maxi dress {seen here}.
Though I love the tulle skirt and crop top, I've never worn them together. I finally changed that!

swap party meetup, how to host a clothes swap party
Summer is officially here, so I'm sure you're storing your coats, jackets and heavier threads to make room in your closet for breezy garments. Besides thrift shopping, one of my favorite ways to update my wardrobe is via clothing swaps. Just like thrifting, it's an eco-friendly affordable way to introduce new-to-you threads. But unlike thrift shopping, the clothes are free!
Sure you can check out a clothing swap meetup in your area or you can host your own.
Check out five tips to host a swap party.

Looking Fly on a Dime: thrifty threads 365 six month update
Can you believe it? The year is almost half way over and the Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is at the half mark. That means I haven't purchased a new piece of clothing or accessory for six months. And when I did buy clothes, they were secondhand and I never spent more than $50 each month.
This is my third go round with the Thrifty Threads 365 fashion challenge and a few things are different. Well, one thing in particular. YOU!
