It’s the monthly review of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge, a full year where I only purchase a maximum of $50 in thrifted clothes and accessories.  I’m four months in to the challenge and this month, I went a little overboard. I spent $73! Yeah, I went way over. But last month I only spent $10 so I like to rationalize that this was kinda like I spent in January what I didn’t spend last month. Yeah, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Though I went...

January 1 didn’t just mark the start of the new year but also the three month mark of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a full year where I only purchase thrifted clothing, no new clothes or accessories}. In October I spent $48, $25 in November and for December…I only spent $10! Yup, just $10. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to thrift. I planned on going to one of the Housing Works Buy the Bag sales but that didn’t happen. However, all winter I’ve been...

Last month I told you guys how month one of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge went {I only spent $48 for the month of October} and I spent even less for November. I haven’t really had time to go thrift shopping but I did hit up Target. I know you’re thinking, “but wait, I thought you’re not buying any new clothing for a year?” True, but I am allowed to buy undergarments. One of the quickest ways to update your wardrobe is with a pair of tights so...

At the beginning of October I informed you guys I’m starting my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge again. Last year I completed the challenge of only thrift shopping for an entire year and this time I upped the ante by putting myself on a $50 a month thrift budget. Well, the month has come to an end, so did I stick to the budget? Well of course I did! For the month of October I spent $48 on clothes. The Housing Works Buy the Bag sale is where I really...

You guys know what time it is? It’s the start of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge again. Last year I embarked on a task to only buy thrifted clothing and accessories for a full year. I successfully completed the challenge and now I’m back at it again. Starting October 1, 2011, Thrifty Threads 365 Part II is in full affect. For another 365 days I will only purchase clothes and accessories from thrift stores. Of course there are a few exceptions. I can buy new underwear and accept gifts...
