Here's how taking a shopping hiatus can help you define your style and benefit your wardrobeA few days ago I received an Instagram comment and someone asked when's my next thrift shopping haul. Well, the thing is, I've kinda stopped shopping, so I don't know when my next haul video will be.This shopping hiatus hasn't been intentional {it's a combo of cleaning out my closet and moving to a new place with limited space}, but it's been surprisingly beneficial.Here's why taking a shopping break can be a great thing, not just for your wallet, but your style as well.

Fashion Week Trends at Your Local Thrift Shop
Another New York Fashion Week has come and go and per usual, every trend seen on the runway can be achieved with thrift store finds. We all know fashion is cyclical, so what's "new" has been done before. While high end looks can seem a bit unattainable, the ones I'm about to show you are actually quite wearable for everyday, real world situations.
Check below to see what fall 2016 runway trends you can score right now and from your local thrift shop!

Thrifty Threads: Styling Over the Knee BootsOk, I'm kinda obsessed with these suede over the knee boots. Maybe it's because they were such a great purchase from TJ Maxx {I believe they were just under $40} or maybe it's because over the knee boots are considered a "tricky trend" and I'm glad I feel I've mastered them. I don't know. Whatever it is, I adore these boots and more importantly, I'm happy to show you easy ways to style them. Again, over the knee boots can feel super intimidating, but they don't have to be!And in this week's Thrifty Threads, here's another way to rock over the knee boots.

 Thrifty Threads: How to Wear Over the Knee Boots in a Casual WayRecycling outfits is a must if you're on a budget or simply looking to maximize your wardrobe. But just because you're "recycling" doesn't mean your look has to be boring. That's why I prefer the term remixing or reworking.
For the last Thrifty Threads I rocked these suede over the knee boots and this week I'm showcasing the same boots but it a more casual style and with pieces I've previously worn before. Again, it's about remixing what you've already got!
