Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details, check the original post here.

looking-fly-on-a-dime-vintage-dress-thrift-shop-thrift-shopping-fashion-discussion I've noticed something interesting happening to me. Well, it's nothing new, but as my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge comes to an end, I've realized thrift shop prices have spoiled me. When I see how much shirts, pants, dresses and especially shoes cost at department stores, I get major sticker shock. Like, I literally recoil and gasp.Thrift shopping has made me cheap!

You already know I love the Target dollar bins and recently I've noticed a few additions. Besides the fact that the bin now includes $3 items, on a recent visit I saw $5 electronic accessories. 'm generally leery of going too cheap on the tech front, but I dropped the 5 bucks and took a chance.
I purchased an iConcepts smartphone power boost so I can charge my phone on the go. Hmm, I probably should have left this one at the store.

Anyway, this week’s Cubicle Chic focuses on how to dress for a rainy, summer day.If you've ever struggled with what to wear when it's hot and raining, check out the outfit ideas below. From cute umbrellas to dainy rain boots, you'll have no problem getting dressed on a rainy day.
