For my last Thrifty Threads post, I wore a pair of Aldo tribal print wedges I scored from my Sip & Swap event. It was a great afternoon of exchanging our amazing clothes we no longer wanted. As soon as GangStarr Girl pulled the shoes out of her bag, I knew I had to have them. I was lucky enough to grab them first and they make a serious statement and I didn’t even have to pay a penny for them. One question I’ve been asked is how to host...

Thrift shopping is too hard. I never know where to shop. Why don’t I find anything good?  These are just some of the comments and questions I hear from those who want to get in to thrift shopping but haven’t really been able to get the hang of it. I understand it’s not for everyone {the inventory can be hot or cold and all stores aren’t created equally}, but trust me, thrift shopping is something everyone, and I do mean everyone can do. It’s economical, green and a...

The year is almost wrapped and I want to end on a high note. And that’s why I’m collaborating with Goodwill for a fashion event called Ready, Set, Thrift! and if you’re in the New York City area, you’re invited. On Thursday, December 6 from 6-8pm, we’ll get together at the Goodwill Chelsea boutique for a fashion challenge that will combine thrifting and a chance to win prizes.

Since I put my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge on hiatus, I’ve had a few people ask if I’ve had a chance to shop for new clothes. Like I wrote in a previous post, though I gave up buying anything new for a full year, I didn’t feel like I was being deprived of anything, so I didn’t have a serious urge to shop for anything non-thrift store related. But I finally changed that last week. My first purchase was two pairs of earrings from H&M. None of the clothes caught...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale, that’s been put on hold until further notice. But it’s the return of the Salvation Army coat sale at the 46th Street location. I first went to this sale two years ago and it’s become my go to sale for amazing outerwear. If you’re not familiar with the sale, they open up their donation and loading dock area and convert it into a space that’s full of jackets, coats and vests for...
