thrifty-threads-365-shopping-challenge-no-new-clothes-fashion-challengeAh, can you believe Thrifty Threads 365 is in its eighth month?! Yup, I haven't purchased any new clothes or accessories in eight months. I've given you a few updates throughout this no-new-clothes shopping challenge and so far it's been pretty easy going.Well, that was until I broke my toe a few weeks ago.

My Upcoming Thrift Shopping Ebook, Interview with SammyDTVYesterday I told you about my fun interview with SammyDTV. We talked all things thrift shopping: why we thrift, how we thrift and how it's an affordable, conscious way to develop your style. We also had an amazing time while rocking out to Janelle Monáe and we're even plotting on developing thrift fairy dust {kidding, kinda!}.
Oh, did I forget to mention that during the chat I gave the exclusive and shared the title of my upcoming ebook on how to thrift shop? If you missed the chat, watch the full replay below.

For full details, check the original post here. Thrifty Threads 365: one dress, multiple waysThere's nothing I love more than wearing a single garment multiple ways. And that's exactly what I have with this printed dress. Well, it actually started out as a fishtail skirt {see the original post in 2010 when I had a tailor transform it from a skirt to a dress}. I immediately noticed the bold pattern when I saw it in a bin at the Goodwill Outlet. I wasn't feeling the skirt, but knew I could have a tailor convert it into a strapless dress. I've worn it as a dress and now I'm rocking it as a skirt with the addition of a t-shirt and belt {both thrifted!}.
