Ready, Set, Thrift! with Looking Fly on a Dime
Tomorrow {Saturday} is my second installment of Ready, Set, Thrift! and I couldn't be more excited. The thrift shopping party is being hosted at Housing Works Buy the Bag in Brooklyn. You guys already know I'm a hardcore Buy the Bag fan and at $25 for a bag full of clothing, what's not to love?
For tomorrow's event, clothes will be just $20 per bag! I've managed to stuff close to 40 items in a single bag, so that's some serious bang for your limited buck.

Thrift Playlist: How the right music can help you shop
I remember one of the first times I went thrift shopping when I moved to NYC. It was a disaster! Though some would consider me a thrift shopping pro today {Nate Berkus even called me a sorceress at thrifting!}, it hasn't always been that way. Yeas ago I was totally overwhelmed by the NYC thrifting scene and I walked out of a massive warehouse of secondhand clothes after 10 minutes.
But living on a magazine assistant budget was enough to get me back in to the thrift stores ASAP and music played a major part in it. When I started making shopping playlists, my experience changed.

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. 
Thrifty Threads 365: No New Clothes for a Year!
Can you believe we're already into the second quarter of 2014?! As usual, time has gone by way too fast, but sometimes it seems pretty slow, especially since I've given up buying new clothes thanks to my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {full year of no new clothes, just thrifted!}.
I can honestly say I've held up pretty well over the last three months and haven't felt the need to shop for new clothes, well, not really...
