Thrifty Threads 365, looking fly on a dimeLast 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 I bought a few pairs from Target. I already have basic black  but I wanted different colors and patterns to really make my outfits pop. And at only $5-$7 each, the price was right.

thrifty threads, looking fly on a dime Fall can be a tricky time to dress. Or at least it has been as of lately. One day it's a brisk 45 degrees and you're bundled up and the next it's in the low 60s and you only have to step out of the house wearing a blazer. And this week has been no different.

Though the weather didn't require a heavy coat, it was a little too chilly for a bear leg. So I whipped out the wardrobe staples ever woman needs: leather coat and tights.Everything in my outfit was thrifted, except the tights and booties.

Looking Fly on a Dime on Nate Berkus show

Hopefully by now you guys caught my second appearance on The Nate Berkus Show {I'll post a link soon for those who may have missed it}.For those who saw the program, you asked what stores I went to for the $25 makeovers and the thrifted designer looks. Of course I went to my favorite stores in NYC: Salvation Army on West 46th St, Goodwill on East 23rd St. and Buffalo Exchange on West 26th St. The $1 Gucci top I found was from the Goodwill Outlet where clothing is just $1.69 per pound.And the next question you wanted to know was what I wore and how I snagged an Armani blazer for 83 cents.

A few weeks ago I showed you guys the awesome pieces I found at the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale. I fit 30 items of clothing in a bag for just $25, so that was less than $1 per piece of clothing. And last week I showed you how I put together a Thrifty Threads outfit with pieces from the sale. The sale I went to last month was initially the last one of the year, but the great folks at Housing Works added a few more...

looking fly on a dime, housing works buy the bag sale

I've always been a fan of bright denim, even before it was trendy. Well, I'm a fan of bright anything, so when I found a pair of purple jeans at the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale, I threw them in the bag.Instead of pairing with a simple black top, I threw on the vintage silk top {also from the Housing Works sale} and a canary yellow Banana Republic cardigan. The colder weather is no excuse to store away the bold colors.I realized my entire outfit, accessories included, was thrifted. The entire look was less than $20.
