How would you describe your style and who inspires your style? I would describe my style as classic with a twist. I love classic pieces that never go out of style and to switch them up, I may throw on a fun, printed item or statement jewelry. My style is inspired mainly by older films where women wore classic dresses as well as fellow bloggers like you.
What are your hobbies and/or passion? My hobbies are writing, reading and thrifting. I am also passionate about helping women look and feel beautiful on a budget.
Take us down memory lane to your 1st thrift experience- who, what, when, where and why did you keep thrifting? What about thrifting do you enjoy? Wow! From a very young age, I remember spending time in consignment stores. In the small town I grew up in, my mother would consign at a store not far from our home. I remember going there as a young child and as I grew into a teenager and fell in love with magazines like Seventeen, I began to notice that items they would show in the magazine could be found at the consignment shop for much cheaper. So from there, I started thrift shopping in high school. The more I got into fashion, I decided to keep thrifting because it became obvious to me that styles always come back around and it's more so how you wear a piece.
What's your favorite thrift store(s) and why? My absolute favorite thrift store ever is Value Village. From the size of the store to the great prices, I just love it!
What's your thrift store budget? Typically, my thrift store budget is about $20. I have been to Value Village and gotten five or more pieces for under $20.
What was your inspiration for starting your blog? At the time I started the blog, I did not quite know what a blog was. It was suggested to me by a co-worker. She encouraged me to start one so I could share some affordable tips and finds with others. I decided to start it in December 2010 and I've been going ever since.
Make sure you guys swing by her blog and show her some love!

Dee
