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.

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.
