Looking Fly on a Dime: thrifty threads 365 six month update
Can you believe it? The year is almost half way over and the Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is at the half mark. That means I haven't purchased a new piece of clothing or accessory for six months. And when I did buy clothes, they were secondhand and I never spent more than $50 each month.
This is my third go round with the Thrifty Threads 365 fashion challenge and a few things are different. Well, one thing in particular. YOU!

Thrifty Threads 365: raiding my grandmother's jewelry boxA few weeks ago my aunt started cleaning out my grandmother's room {she's currently living in a nursing home for round the clock care}. While my aunt was ready to toss most of the stuff or just donate to the thrift store, I quickly stopped her. See the thing is, my grandmother loved to dress back in the day. And she really loved jewelry. I'm all for donating to the thrift store {obviously!} but I wanted to go through some of her beloved items to see what serious gems she had.
Let me tell you, I'm so glad I did and stopped my aunt before she just bagged everything up. Also, since I'm doing my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {no new clothes for a year, only thrifted!}, I can use all of the accessories I can get.
Check out just a few of the amazing vintage jewelry I found in my grandmother's closet.

Thrifty Threads 365: Maxi Dress and Crop Top ComboThere's something so effortless about a maxi dress. It's a simple one piece, but the floor grazing effect has a regal feel to it. And a maxi is my go-to piece when I'm in a rush, traveling or just don't feel like getting dressed.
I've had this super soft cotton maxi dress for at least five years {purchased from Strawberry for less than $15!} and it's seriously on its last leg, but I can't seem to let it go. To add a different feel to it, I layered a vintage cut off t-shirt over it.

Thrifty Threads 365: Bodycon Dress from Day to Night
Let me start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of bodycon dresses. They just feel too va-va-voom for me, but I found a printed H&M bodycon dress I couldn't resist. The simple black and white print and one shoulder batwing sleeve was enough to make me snatch it up when I found it at Housing Works Buy the Bag.
At less than $1, I figured it couldn't turn to give this style a try and I'm so glad I did. Though bodycon dresses can feel a bit sexy, they're easy to take from day to night.
