Thrifty Threads

April 15, 2011 by Angela Leave a Comment

Welcome to Thrifty Threads, AKA Most Stylish Compact-y outfit, where readers model their favorite secondhand clothes.

A compact-y outfit is used or recycled, from Goodwill, a thrift store, a consignment shop, ebay, Craigslist, a yard sale, or anywhere else you find secondhand clothing.

Last week my friend Stephanie over at Those Tricks went thrift-shopping during her lunch break and picked up 5 dresses for $15. This gorgeous vintage Neiman-Marcus maxi was just $4. It sounds like she’s devised a new diet plan, skipping lunch to thrift shop!

Check it out here. And while you’re there, browse her blog where she posts a new thrift store find every post.

Please leave your tips for secondhand shopping plus compliments for Stephanie in the Comments section. And keep sending your photos to barton.angela@gmail.com.

About Angela

On January 1st, 2009, I joined The Compact and pledged to Buy Nothing New for one year. It sounded like the perfect way to converge my desire to live on less money with my interest in living a simpler life and trying to lessen my carbon footprint. The experiment was so rewarding that I'm continuing with it indefinitely. This blog documents my journey in non-consumerism.
