Could you give up shopping for new clothes for a year?
Well, I’m back at it again. Starting January 1, 2014 I’m resuming my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge. This is the third year I’ll commit to only thrift shopping for 365 days and I have a monthly budget of $50. Yup, no new clothes or accessories {unless they’re gifts and of course I can buy undies!} for an.entire.year!!! During the 2012 edition of TT365, I spent less than $500 on clothing.
From January 1, 2014 until January 1, 2015, check in each week for my progress reports and Thrifty Threads outfit posts to see what I’m rocking and how I make the most affordable piece look like a million bucks.
This challenge isn’t solely about saving money, but showing firsthand that “your style is never determined by your wallet” and your fashion is only limited to your imagination.
If you’re joining the TT365 challenge {for the full year or just a few months}, be sure to tag your photos with #ThriftyThreads365 so we can all see what you’re rocking. And each month I’ll highlight a reader’s style and any tips you have for fellow Thrifty Threads participants.
Update {January 1, 2015}: I successfully completed another round of Thrifty Threads 365. My final tally was $233. Yes, I spent just $233 on clothes and accessories for an entire year. Check out my final recap and savvy shopping tips here.
Keep tagging your #ThriftyThreads365 pics and I’ll feature my favorite thrifters on the site!
