Most notably is Goodwill, which has opened about 60 boutiques nationwide. These locations have more curated designer pieces, are more organized and have a feel of a department store to attract the desired millennial crowd.I'm all about making thrifting easier and more accessible {so much so that I wrote a book on how to thrift shop!}, so I checked out the Goodwill boutique that recently opened in NYC's Union Square. I wasn't impressed.

As you can tell from the title, I'm contemplating another round of Thrifty Threads 365 for 2015. If you're new to the blog, Thrifty Threads 365 is a shopping challenge I created where I only thrift shop for a full year. I can't purchase any new clothes or accessories {this excludes undergarments!}. I've been doing TT365 off and on for three years. Whew!

I've had a few of you ask if I'll keep doing Thrifty Threads 365 in 2015 and the honest answer is, I don't know. That's why I need your help.
