Ten Dollar Budget
Ever since I started to thrift, I seriously struggle to pay regular price for items. A $30 top makes me cringe and my skin crawl. I only shell out cash for gorgeous accessories like my fav watch and shoes (I just can't do used shoes). It was 50% off yellow and green tags at Salvation Army so I walked in with a budget of $10. Yes, ten dollars.

Amazing! I feel inspired. LOL. Especially because I just spend like 10x that on only 3 things at forever 21.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great. I definitely want to get into thrifing more.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been missing out on pure thrifting greatness lol, I'm definitely thrifting more often :)

I repeat: I would only move to the US for Brooklyn and all your beautifully decked and incredibly cheap thrift stores! Eek! Well done, Dara. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteThrifting is quite awesome. The treasures are always there, waiting to be found. No matter what you purchase at thrift stores, just make sure you clean them, even shoes and accessories.
ReplyDeleteYou did well with your budget! :)
Wow! You are such an inspiration to me. I'm ready to grab my own style and I think I'll start at the thrift stores thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm most definitely trying to commit to more thrifting this year so your tips are right up my alley! So glad I found you and this blog :)
ReplyDeleteLol agreed! I do the same when I see a shirt I really like and then it turns out to be $30...
ReplyDeleteIm the exact same way yuo dont have to buy expensive things to dress well.

I don't thrift and I think paying $20+ for a top is crazy lol. Although I really should start thrifting more but I get so discouraged because I NEVER find anything I like. :(

You're so good at thrifting! It's kind of hard around here with these slim pickings but I'm hoping to get better at it, it's a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteExcuse me? $8? I am clearly missing out! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow! Awesome, and i completely feel you with the $30.00 tops. Thrifting is the best especially when there is a sale! Awesome finds!
ReplyDeleteOk, so you've just become a fashion inspiration for me. I don't understand that urge to spend money(that most don't have but mommy and daddy do) to buy expensive clothes that you will war for one season. Ok, I understand investing in a good pair of jeans, or a classic white shirt, or a pair of nude flats. Something that you will wear this year and next year and is still not out of fashion and in perfect condition.That I understand.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I think that are just better ways to use money than to trying to create the perfect outfit for a night out.
Hugs and kisses!
Love, Andreea

girlll thrifting is the only way to go.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. I find it very hard to spend that much on a shirt when I know I can get 5-6 shirts similar at a thrift store. I find myself doing that--looking at an item and then saying, "Oh I know I can get that at a thrift store." and I usually do.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love thrifting!
Wow! Amazing!! This really gets me excited about thrifting!
ReplyDeletecute outfits!

I am a thrift-a-holic. I ONLY spend $10 every Friday because I get an extra 25% off with my receipt from the previous week. Thrifting takes time but it's worth it. You picked some classic pieces.
