I love thrifting. I adore thrifting. Well, let me rephrase that. I don’t really like the strange odors, the pushy people, or the feeling of constantly having to fight to the death for a pair of boots, but the results are always amazing. I love what I find! These two vintage wool skirts are among my favorite finds. They are super easy to style and have both become classic pieces in my wardrobe. Each skirt was a longer length before and I just did a little bit of hemming to make them shorter and more flattering on me.
This week’s challenge is to find a spring dress or skirt at your local thrift store for under $5. Don’t be afraid to make some alterations to the length or sleeves! If you can’t sew, then look at your local art supply store for fabric glue. Works just as well!

I really like the suggestion re: fabric glue. Again, something I didn’t know existed…I am not a crafty/artistic person at all. Anyway, I’ll have to get some because I hate sewing. Thanks for the tip 🙂
Sure thing!
I found some amazing deals while out thrifting in central Wisconsin last weekend. I had to call my mom once I got back in the car because I was so excited by one of my finds!
Also, I would love to win the JCP gift card so please count my comment toward an entry. Thanks!
That’s great Kelly!
I took your challenge and I found a fabulous kelly green dress from Banana Republic for $5! It’s probably my favorite thing in my closet right now!
That’s AWESOME Tristin! Doesn’t it feel great to find a good deal but not compromise quality?
