Thrifty Threads

December 15, 2011 by Angela Leave a Comment

On this special edition of Thrifty Threads, longtime reader Hilda and her husband Larry model their secondhand selections for an Ugly Sweater party.

These gatherings are apparently all the rage, so if you’ve been invited to one this holiday season, Larry’s first prize entry should be an inspiration.

Hilda and Larry, as well as their grandson Mitchell, have all been Thrifty Threads models in the past. This time they’ve gone all out with the ugly sweaters Hilda found for them at the thrift store. Full disclosure: she found the sweaters there, but actually hot-glued the Santa on Larry’s.

Here’s a photo of some of the people at the party, and they all bought their sweaters at thrift stores. The Nutcracker sweater came in 2nd place, and the royal blue was 3rd.

So if you can’t find something fabulous at your thrift store, you might find an ugly sweater! Thanks Hilda, for sending in the photo!

Happy Holidays!

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.
