Looking Fly on a Dime: Top Brands for Affordable, Quality Denim
Though I'm usually a dress kinda girl {did you see my last Thrifty Threads bodycon dress post!?}, I also love a good skinny jean. They're super comfortable and easily dress up or down.
I've thrifted a few pairs of great jeans, but I always have an issue with finding quality denim that fits. I'm petite {only 5'2"} but I've got a little booty and some thighs, so avoiding the dreaded waist gap is an issue. Oh, and you know when you've been rocking a pair of jeans for too long and they get the dreaded crotch rip? I've even worn designer denim that rip after too much wear.
But luckily, after years of being a skinny jean connoisseur {more than 20 pairs!}, I've narrowed down my top 3 brands for affordable, quality denim. These won't set you back a ton and there's no crotch rip!

Thriftspiration is a series that puts a spotlight on readers who share their secondhand shopping tips and fun ways to style thrifted finds.

Thriftspiration, how to vintage shop

Name: Jacque Location: Lawrence, Kansas When and why did you start thrift shopping? I started thrifting three years ago because I was a broke college student. I was inspired by ladies like yourself to shed the stigma of wearing "used clothes." Now, instead of spending money buying cheaply made clothing, I spend the time to find quality, sometimes even designer clothing, for a fraction of the price. What three words would you use to describe your style? Girly, girly, girly! How did you style your outfits? My style is actually pretty simple: Step 1. Grab something high waisted. Step 2. Tuck in your blouse. Step 3 {optional}. Wear a hat! I was once told that my style is repetitive, but it's my style and I'm sticking to it.

thrift shopping tour, looking fly on a dime tourLast weekend was my first group thrift shopping tour of the season and we had a great time. In between helping shoppers score some cheap chic finds, I was able to snag a few items for myself. And of course I want to share what I bought as well as some tips I gave the thrifters on the tour. One recurring theme was how to step out of your style comfort zone, particularly when it comes to ditching a neutral heavy wardrobe and embracing color.
