spring-outerwear-trends-you-can-thrift-shop-thrift-shop-trends Spring is here!!! Sorry for the exclamation marks but after a dreadful winter, I'm happy there are no more mounds of snow or blistering wind chills.
When it comes to the new season, a new or new-to-you {i.e. thrifted!} coat is a must. If there's one piece of spring outerwear you plan to cop, let it be a trench. It's wearable for all occasions and flattering for every figure. Oh, and you can find one at most, if not all, thrift shops. Here's how to do it!

strawberry-skirt-armani-shirt-rose-detail-shirtHave you ever worn an outfit you thought was so simple, but everyone seemed to love it? Yeah, well that's what happened when I rocked this black and white ensemble. Maybe it's the a-line skirt, the hypnotizing pattern of the shirt or the colorful accessories.Whatever it is, this has become my go-to style that's classy enough for Sunday service but stylish enough for brunch.

After my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge was over on January 1, I went on a bit of a shopping spree and hit up a few department stores. That resulted in me not thrift shopping for most of January and February. Well, I changed all of that in March and did some serious thrifting. I made multiple trips to the Salvation Army and a mega vintage warehouse.
Check out the video below to see what I thrifted in March, including a statement-making vintage jumpsuit and spring style essentials.

styleblazer-how-to-thrift-shop-like-a-pro-thrift-tips I typically hold all thrift related posts for Thursday {gotta love Thrifty Thursday!}, but I didn't want to delay posting this fun project. Last week I worked with StyleBlazer to film a short video on the do's and don'ts of thrift shopping. While I see thrifting as an easy, fun pastime, I know plenty others see it as intimidating and time consuming.If that's you, then check out the video below where I share how to navigate crowded racks, shopping for accessories and what I call my go-to thrifting uniform that makes it easier to shop.

housing-works-best-of-spring-thrift-shopping-event-thrift-shop It's that time of year again for the Housing Works Best of Sale! I'm a huge Housing Works fan {you know I'm obsessed with the Buy the Bag sale, $25 for a bag full of clothing!} and the Best of is a biannual event where their 12 thrift shops offer the best of their thrifted goods, including vintage and designer clothes, accessories, art, home decor and more.Basically, if you want a curated collection of the best of the best, this is the place to be. The sales are so intense that people line up hours in advance and the stores close the day before to make way for the merchandise.Keep reading for more details on the Housing Works Best of sales and one that's coming up this weekend that I'll be attending!
