looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrift-haul-salvation-army-haul The month is only half over and I've already gone thrifting three times. I can't help it! I'm heading to Belize next month and luckily I've found a few pieces that are perfect for the island weather and nice everyday clothes and accessories for spring.

In the short video below I'm sharing my thrifted finds from the Salvation Army, including the garment I hated to walk away from.

If you follow me on social media {Twitter and Instagram}, then you know I scored big over the weekend. And if you don't follow me on those channels, I'm telling you now: I scored big over the weekend!!!

Last week I shared news about the massive NYC Salvation Army coat sale. Furs, trenches, leathers and more for unbeatable prices. The annual sale is held once a month in October, November and December and attracts thrifters seeking the best deals you can find on outerwear. I sat out last year's sales, but I made up for it this time around. Keep reading to see what I bought, what I passed on and why it's so important to thrift shop with people who really know you.

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. style-equation-what-to-wear-get-dressed-in-10-minutes

As much as I have a "passion for fashion," sometimes I just don't know what to wear and hate getting dressed. No seriously, when I'm working from home, I'm in leggings and a t-shirt. But on days when I actually have to leave the house, I rely on my go-to style combos. These are the pieces I know I can throw together in minutes and they'll look great. It's as simple as 1 + 2 + 3 = chic, effortless and fun. Below check out the first installment of Style Equation to see the pieces that keep you warm and stylish on a chilly day.

Where can you normally find me on a Wednesday? The Salvation Army {46th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues}! Most of the clothes and accessories are 50 percent off on Wednesday so you can seriously rack up. On my last Salvation Army haul, I spent $85 and found more than a dozen goodies. Well, this time around I spend less than 10 bucks but walked away with three fun pieces, including a pair of booties, a French Connection dress and vintage frock.

Housing Works Buy the bag, thrift store haul

This past Saturday was the Housing Works Buy the Bag {$25 for all you can stuff in a bag) sale and as usual, I racked up. I met a few of you there and it seems everyone walked away with a bag {or two} full of goodies. As usual, it was crowded inside, clothes were everywhere and the crowd got a bit rowdy when additional bins were put on the sales floor, but the majority of people were super sweet. I didn't take pics inside {I was too busy shopping}, but the clothes were eventually pulled out of the bins and everyone was walking over the garments and one woman even lost her shoe in the clothing avalanche. I managed to stuff a total of 30 items in my bag, so at $25 for a bag, that averages out to 83 cents per piece. Considering I found some vintage items, including Armani, I'd say that's a thrift store score. This sale always has a ton of blazers and I snagged with six of them. A bit excessive, I know.
