Can you believe it’s been a year already?! Exactly one year ago today, I started phase two of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge, a full year where I only buy secondhand clothes and spend $50 or less per month. For the past year, I’ve shown you my Thrifty Thread outfits as well as a tally of how much I’ve spent each month. For the month of September, I spent….zero dollars! Seriously, I didn’t spend a penny on clothes or accessories last month. I’ve been way too busy with...

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.

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.
