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. 
Thrifty Threads 365: No New Clothes for a Year Fashion ChallengeAs mentioned earlier this week, emerald green is having a serious moment.
And as I also mentioned, I barely wear green. But I finally remembered this vintage dress I scored a few years ago and it was finally time to take it out of the depths of my closet.
If you think major cities are the only places you can score at thrift stores, I'm here to tell you that's so not true. I found this Pat Richards dress a few years ago while visiting family in Ohio and it was just $8. The store was in a small town but had a ton of amazing finds {be sure to check out my previous post: Benefits of Thrift Shopping in a Small Town}.
This was my first time wearing the dress and I absolutely fell in love with it. I felt like I was floating on air.

Thrifty Threads 365: See how readers scored statement making piecesI seriously can't believe it's already March and I really can't believe Thrifty Threads 365 is heading into its third month. Though I love showing you guys my Thrifty Threads outfit posts, I really love seeing how you guys are surviving TT365. Because let's be honest, it's not easy giving up shopping for new clothes for a year. While some of you are doing the full year of thrifty threads, others are doing a few months.
And you've been great about tagging your photos with #ThriftyThreads365 and I love what I'm seeing. Last month I showed you how one reader transformed her thrifted palazzo pants in to three different dresses. And for this month, here are a few of my favorite photos from readers who are participating in Thrifty Threads 365.

Thrifty Threads 365 fashion challenge

Last week I managed to do some thrift shopping and walked away with two dresses that are my new favorites in my closet, but I say that every time I thrift shop. In addition to my cute frocks, I scored a dainty vintage sweater, Calvin Klein skirt and these awesome leopard open toe booties I Instagrammed.My monthly budget for my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is $50 and I managed to stay under budget by almost 20 bucks!Check out what else I found during my recent thrift shopping trip.

Thrifty Threads 365: No New Clothes for a Year!
Earlier this week the East coast finally had a respite from the massive inches of snow,  but then it began to rain. Don't get me wrong, I'll take rain over snow, but both elements can really put a damper on your style game and especially your footwear.
Luckily I have a few go-to looks and boots for snowy, slushy and/or rainy days. When I need to put the heels away but don't want a clunky wellies, I step into my zigzag vintage boots I scored for less than $10 from the Salvation Army.

Thrifty Threads 365: why you need a thrift wish list
We're one month in to Thrifty Threads 365 and if you're joining the challenge, you may be experiencing some withdrawal symptoms. I mean, seriously, it can be a bit tough giving up shopping for new clothes for a year! But like I mentioned in my previous 3 Tips to Survive Thrifty Threads 365, it's so important to create a thrift wish list.
When you walk in to a thrift store with absolutely no idea what you're shopping for, it can lead to buyer's remorse, which is something you really don't want when you're budget and options are restricted with Thrifty Threads 365.
Here's why you need a thrift shopping wish list.
