Fridays are usually my Thrifty Threads posts where I show you guys how I put together outfits using my thrift store finds, but you’ll notice there’s no photo of my fly threads. That’s because my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a year of only purchasing thrift store clothing} officially ended yesterday. Yes, I made it through an entire year of only relying on thrift stores for my “new” clothes. I can honestly say I’ve had a blast on this challenge that was anything but challenging. I hope I’ve showed you...

My Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a year long hiatus from purchasing new clothes, I can only thrift} will be over in just four weeks. I can’t believe almost a year has passed.

Could you give up shopping for new clothes for a year?  Well, I’m back at it again. Starting January 1, 2014 I’m resuming my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge. This is the third year I’ll commit to only thrift shopping for 365 days and I have a monthly budget of $50. Yup, no new clothes or accessories {unless they’re gifts and of course I can buy undies!} for an.entire.year!!! During the 2012 edition of TT365, I spent less than $500 on clothing. From January 1, 2014 until January 1,...
