Another month down, so it’s time to recap my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a full year where I only thrift shop for clothes and accessories, no new items}. My budget for each month is $50 and how much did I spend for the month of August? *drum roll* Exactly $0. Yup, zero. I seriously didn’t realize I went the entire month without shopping for clothes until I went to pull out my receipts for the previous month.

I always manage to spill a drink, get an ink stain or rub up against something. Due to this, I stay away from wearing white.

My style definitely leans more towards dresses, flirty skirts and even casual skinny jeans, and I found all...

Another month down, so it’s time to recap my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a full year where I only thrift shop for clothes and accessories, no new items}. My budget for each month is $50 and how much did I spend for the month of July? *drum roll* Exactly $50. The past two weekends, I ventured to Long Island City for the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale. This is the place to go if you’re seeking the most threads for your cash. For $25, you get a brown bag and...

One of the many, many great things about thrift shopping is you can try out new trends or looks you would normally stray away from. It makes you a bit more adventurous because you’re not really investing in a style. If you try it and don’t like it, no big deal.
