Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details, check the original post here.

While we all know that mixing prints is easy to do {just have at least one cohesive color in both patterns}, there's another way to have fun by mixing and matching. Wearing the same print in different hues can amp up any look. That can mean red polka dots with black polka dots or blue stripes with orange stripes. For my latest thrifty threads look, I went with plaid on plaid.

Oh, and the entire look is thrifted from head to toe and less than $20.

looking-fly-on-a-dime-vintage-dress-thrift-shop-thrift-shopping-fashion-discussion I've noticed something interesting happening to me. Well, it's nothing new, but as my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge comes to an end, I've realized thrift shop prices have spoiled me. When I see how much shirts, pants, dresses and especially shoes cost at department stores, I get major sticker shock. Like, I literally recoil and gasp.Thrift shopping has made me cheap!

thrifty-threads-365-thrift-store-style-looking-fly-on-a-dime Can you believe it's already November? That means two things: 1. Time for chunky knits and fly outerwear. 2. My Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is 10 months down with two more months to go.For all of 2014, I've solely relied on clothes and accessories from the thrift shop. I haven't spent a single penny on new threads. Oh, and I have a $50 thrift shopping budget each month.

Check out what I bought this month from the thrift store and the total for how much I've spent on clothes so far this year.
