When it's chilly out, but I still want to wear a dress and no tights, a long skirt is my go-to fashion choice. I purchased this Calvin Klein skirt a few months ago for less than $10 and it's safe to say I'm in love with her. I first wore the skirt during Fashion Week. Back then I paired it with a vintage crop top, but this time around I wanted a more conservative look for church. But of course I had to throw in a sporty jacket to mix it up.

September was a really great month for me. Besides releasing my thrift shopping book and celebrating my 5-year blogiversary, I had some amazing thrift store scores. I'm talking about vintage threads and designer duds for next to nothing.
Under my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge, I can only spend a total of $50 each month. How much was my September tally? Just $8. Yes, less than $10 for the 25 or so items I thrifted. Check out how I did it, my favorite picks and thrift outfits for September.

david bromstad for naturalizer, david-bromstad-naturalizer-naturalizer-collectionThere are a few things I love: leopard print, shoes and HGTV. So when I heard that designer, HGTV personality and cutie David Bromstad had a line of footwear with Naturalizer, I was all in! Last week I attended a luncheon for a launch of the fall collection. Every piece looked amazing and David is the best...and much taller in person.If you're looking for some fall footwear, you'll want to check out Bromstad for Naturalizer.

looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threadsSometimes I just don't know what to wear. And by sometimes, I mean a lot of times. Though I have a closet full of awesome thrifted clothes, getting dressed can still be so tough. Since I typically find myself scratching my head over what to wear, I have a few style formulas that I rely on. When it comes to weekend wear, I tend to stick to: cardigan + skinny jeans + flat boots = effortless chic weekend style. And of course I throw in an accessory or two.
Keep reading to see my fail proof formula for creating a simple, yet polished weekend look and how you can win a pair of the Skechers flat boots I'm wearing.

It's no secret I'm a bit of a thrift shopping pro. I mean, I literally wrote the book on how to thrift shop. But you know something else? I still have total fails and I leave the store empty handed. Whether you're a novice or a pro, everyone has experienced thrift shopping trips that result in little to nothing. And that's totally ok.
Here's what you should do if you strike out while thrift shopping.
