Remember my last thrift store haul when I found these leather, rubber sole booties? I immediately scooped them up because I knew they'd be perfect, especially for winter. Flats are for easy walking and stilettos can be tricky, but a rubber sole bootie is stylish and easy to navigate slippery terrain.
I finally took the booties for a spin last week when the streets of NYC were slushy.

thrift shopping tips, how to style your thrift store clothes

Last week I showed you my massive Salvation Army thrift store haul and now it's time to put everything together. After you thrift an amazing piece, sometimes the next battle is, how do I wear it?
Well, whether your style is more glam or casual, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3 to rock your thrifted clothes and accessories in a way that's perfect for any occasion.

Remember my beloved Catherine Malandrino for Kohl's pleated dress from earlier this fall? Well, I loved it two months ago and I'm still loving it now. Just because the weather has dipped {it's less than 40 degrees in NYC!!!}, that doesn't mean I put the frock away. The great thing about it is the knit material, which makes it perfect for the frigid temps.
When I previously wore the dress, I went with a bare leg and floral pumps, this time around I threw on a pair of thick tights {just a few dollars from H&M} and some thrift store finds for a cozy and chic style.

looking fly on a dime style guide

Fall is in full swing and it's been pretty cold on the east coast. While I'm not ready to whip out my winter coat, I'm all about layering fun fall pieces. And my idea of fun involved a rugged leather jacket and a faux fur vest {both thrifted!}. They're from the Goodwill Outlet {$1.69/pound of clothing}.Jackets with leather sleeves are super trendy and instead of going out and buying one, I decided to layer my vest over the leather jacket. Some people actually thought it was a one piece and asked me where I got my fur jacket with leather sleeves.

thrifty threads, thrift shopping tip This weekend I was having one of those days where I didn't want to get too dressed up, but didn't want to be super casual either. So I whipped out my new favorite pants scored from the Salvation Army. Though I'm typically a skinny jeans or dress type of girl, these drawstring pants with tapered leg are my new BFF. Besides being supremely comfortable, they pair well with almost anything in my closet.
After getting dressed, I realized my entire outfit {head to toe!} was less than 20 bucks.
