I try to thrift shop in every city and country I visit. Besides finding unique pieces, it's also nice to see the different looks and feels of thrift stores. So when I had a few days in Nashville, inevitably thrifting was on the menu. Since I didn't have much time, I knew getting major bang for my thrift buck was the key. After quick research I was so happy to find that a Goodwill Outlet was just a short ride away.If you've never been to an outlet, then you need to visit. Unlike your average thrift shop, the outlets price items by the pound versus individual pieces. But that also means the crowd can be a bit competitive.But I was ready to see what the Nashville Goodwill Outlet had to offer.Goodwill Nashville Goodwill outlet store

If you're a regular thrift shopper, you've probably been faced with this dilemma: you have a favorite shop that's either a hidden gem or mildly popular and before you know it, everyone's discovered it! The aisles that used to be semi-full are now packed. Sigh. What's a thrifter to do? Well, instead of ditching your go-to secondhand store, you just have to shop smarter.
Check out a few tips to navigate a newly crowed thrift shop.

For full details, check the original post here. Thrifty Threads 365: one dress, multiple waysThere's nothing I love more than wearing a single garment multiple ways. And that's exactly what I have with this printed dress. Well, it actually started out as a fishtail skirt {see the original post in 2010 when I had a tailor transform it from a skirt to a dress}. I immediately noticed the bold pattern when I saw it in a bin at the Goodwill Outlet. I wasn't feeling the skirt, but knew I could have a tailor convert it into a strapless dress. I've worn it as a dress and now I'm rocking it as a skirt with the addition of a t-shirt and belt {both thrifted!}.

Thrifty Threads 365: Casual Weekend Wear
Last week's Thrifty Threads was all about adding a touch of glam to everyday life {remember the $8 vintage dress}? Well, this week I took a total 180 and went super casual.
Though I adore a pair of stilettos and a flirty frock, some days require leggings and the most comfortable pair of shoes in your closet. But of course keeping it easy and breezy doesn't mean being devoid of any style. It's all about adding a few elements to keep it haute and interesting.

Thrifty Threads 365: No New Clothes for a Year Fashion ChallengeAs mentioned earlier this week, emerald green is having a serious moment.
And as I also mentioned, I barely wear green. But I finally remembered this vintage dress I scored a few years ago and it was finally time to take it out of the depths of my closet.
If you think major cities are the only places you can score at thrift stores, I'm here to tell you that's so not true. I found this Pat Richards dress a few years ago while visiting family in Ohio and it was just $8. The store was in a small town but had a ton of amazing finds {be sure to check out my previous post: Benefits of Thrift Shopping in a Small Town}.
This was my first time wearing the dress and I absolutely fell in love with it. I felt like I was floating on air.
