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.

Fall doesn't officially arrive for a few days, but it's time to start gearing up for chilly days and brisk nights. Yesterday we showed you how to effortlessly transition your wardrobe, but today it's all about a few additions you need in your closet. And of course, you don't have to spend a ton.
These are three fall style staples you can find at your local thrift shop. They're fashionable, functional and easy on the wallet.

If you weren't in NYC this weekend, well that sucks for you {just kidding!}. But seriously, you missed another awesome Ready, Set, Thrift! event. I hosted my second thrift shopping party at Housing Works Buy the Bag and we had a night of thrift shopping {$25 for a bag of clothing), raffles of designer and vintage goods, drinks, cupcakes and an informative panel discussion.
Here's what you missed at Ready, Set, Thrift!

thriftspiration-chrisette-michele-vintage-style-vintage-shopping-tips-how-to-thrift-shopRemember when I mentioned I'd be bringing back the Thriftspiration feature where I highlight the style of thrift and vintage lovers? Well, it's here! And it only made sense to start with a bang.I love Chrisette Michele's music and the singer is also a pro thrifter. She recently shared a video on her site, Rich Hipster, of her getting into a little vintage shopping while in Florida. She scored a ton of affordable pieces at an indie vintage shop and even shows how she styled them.Check out the short videos below for Chrisette Michele's thrift shop adventure and vintage styling advice

Today is the big day. My book, Looking Fly on a Dime: How to Find Fabulous Fashion at Any Thrift Shop & Make the Cheap Look Chic, is available for purchase.

This book has been a long time coming and I'm so happy it's finally come to fruition. While I've been blogging for five years and often share my thrift and style tips, I really wanted to provide my readers with a comprehensive, A to Z guide of thrift shopping. This book is broken down into three parts and covers:
*what to do before you hit the thrift store {how to find one, best days to go, etc.}
*top strategies while you shop {what sections of the store to hit first, how to cut down on buyer's remorse}
*how to clean your thrift shop clothes and style them to make the cheap clothing look expensive

Before you purchase your copy of Looking Fly on a Dime, here are three things you should know.
