Why I Happily Spend More on My Clothes {& Why You Might Want to As Well}
"I only paid 87 cents for this shirt!"
Yes, I used to happily proclaim this about recent thrift stores scores that I was proud of. Now, I'll just as happily tell you about a $20 thrifted dress.
Over the past few months I've started spending more money on my thrifted clothes and it's been the best thing ever for my style.

 Thrifty Threads: The $10 Dress Perfect for Any OccasionAfter taking a shopping hiatus, it's safe to say I'm back in the swing of things. Instead of just buying stuff, I'm only purchasing clothes and accessories I love. Not like, not kinda sorta love, but LOVE!
When I found this colorful dress at Fox & Fawn a few weeks ago, I knew she deserved a space in my closet. At $10 she was a winner and the fit was absolute perfection. Like, she was made for me.

Fashion Hack to Hem Your Dress in Seconds I admit it, I'm lazy. Well, when it comes to having clothes tailored, I'm lazy. I have the best intentions of getting something tailored and I just never end up doing it. Am I the only one?? That's why I found a way to instantly hem a dress by a few inches without making a visit to the tailor. Check out the short video below to see how you can do the same! This is perfect if you're in a pinch or like me, and rarely use a tailor.

looking fly on a dime thrift store

On Wednesday I did what I haven't done in about a month: I went to the Salvation Army for some serious shopping. The last time I went, the inventory was weak and I left empty handed, but this time around, the thrift gods must have been shining down on me. The Salvation Army at 46th Street is usually my go-to destination for dresses and an occasional vintage gem, especially sequin tops and button downs. And that's exactly what I found on Wednesday.* I kept pulling one amazing piece after another. *Remember, the Salvation Army has Family Day sales on Wednesday, so most clothes and accessories are 50 percent off.* My total damage was $85. Yes, $85!! But this was ok for a few reasons. 1. I haven't been thrifting in months {shocking, right?}. 2. The items were literally worth hundreds. One dress alone would have originally retailed for $300.

Housing Works warehouse saleEarlier this week I showed you my recent Housing Works haul from the Buy the Bag sale. But I found so many goodies {63 pieces for $50 equals less than 80 cents for each item}, I had to split the post up over two days. I gave you a glimpse at the awesome coats and tops I nabbed {including a St. John cardigan} and now it's time for the bottoms.

My style definitely leans more towards dresses, flirty skirts and even casual skinny jeans, and I found all of the aforementioned. Peep what I walked away with.
