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...

This weekend I continued my fall closet clean out and that included dropping off a huge bag of clothes and accessories to Goodwill. I have a large wicker basket from Home Goods that I purchased for $7 and every few months I add clothes to be donated.

And I know there are tons of other people dropping off major...

Six denim shirts. 12 blazers. 20 pairs of jeans. These were some of the clothes I pulled out of my closet last weekend. Needless to say, I don’t need six denim shirts, 12 blazers or 20 pairs of jeans. I realized I was suffering from a pretty common dilemma: an overstuffed closet where I buy the same items multiple times because I didn’t realize I already owned them. Sigh. With fall unofficially here and officially arriving in a few weeks, I took two hours this weekend to get...

We’ve already established that a big part of thrift shopping involves patience {countless Thriftspiration ladies say patience is the number one thrift shopping tip}. You have to have time and energy to dig through bins and inspect numerous racks. But there’s something even bigger involved in thrifting. When you’re lucky enough to find an item, the next major step is how to wear and style it. This is where the importance of what you do in the fitting room comes in to play. You may be leaving behind...
