5 Days for 50 Dollars

March 22, 2011 by Angela Leave a Comment

Kayla from Kayla K’s Thrifty Ways is doing a great project this week. She’s combining thrift store finds to put together a week’s worth of outfits for just $50. Kayla says she notices that college students can get by just fine on t-shirts and jeans but that senior year comes as a shock when they need clothes suitable for internships, student teaching, and interviews. Kayla will model five ensembles appropriate for student teaching, and I think, just about any professional or office environment.

 This photo is Tuesday’s contribution. So cute!  I will definitely be checking back in this week. She’ll also be highlighting the green aspect of thrift shopping.

Click here to see Kayla’s Thrifty Threads post on this blog from awhile back. Kayla is a thrift shopping enthusiast, I love these shoes she found recently to wear on job interviews. They’re a perfect combination of creativity, style, and comfort. Bravo, Kayla.

For those of you who love to sew, Kayla shares lots of sewing projects and patterns on her blog. She made this adorable baby cardigan that will be packaged in a layette and donated to Lutheran World Relief before Easter. It’s part of her idea to give things away rather than give things up for Lent this year.

Kayla also posts recipes and craft projects, so check it out. And don’t forget to check back in to see what other thrifty outfits she comes up with this week.

Could you put together five work outfits for under $50? What are your favorite go-to professional pieces? Share your thoughts in the Comments section.

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.
