When I started reading blogs, I did not understand everyone's obsession with thrifting. I tried to fit in, bought a couple shirts at Goodwill, then gave up that dream of being a hip and happenin' blogger. But when I got married the thrifting switch was flicked in my brain, and now I can honestly say I'm a trendy blogger who refuses to pay full price for anything and would rather have something gently loved than quickly manufactured.

All our living room furniture? Thrifted. All my new clothes? None more than 10 dollars. In my premarital days, I never would have shopped the sale rack at Fiesta Mall's Forever 21, but on Friday that's where I found myself. Kendall would say I'm becoming an extreme cheapskate, because he loves comparing our lives to his favorite show at the time. (Side note: have you seen that show?! Those people are crazy!) But I'll just say I'm thrifty, because it's cuter.
Is anyone else loving these sweaters over tied and collared shirts? I saw it on the mannequins at Forever 21 (can you tell it's my favorite store?) and wanted to buy every single outfit. But I didn't. Because I'm thrifty.
To all you married thrifters out there,
Go you!
and me.
Being a married cheapskate starts as a necessity and becomes an obsession :) I love finding the best deals on everything!
ReplyDeleteI so understand this. We live in a small studio so there's not much furniture but 99 percent of it is thrifted or seconf hand. Cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteThrifting is wonderful! You just need practice ;)

i need to start trying to thrift more maybe it is because i don't have the patience to look through all the racks or maybe the stores around me aren't great find type of stores. i love that polka dot top you are wearing
ReplyDeleteThat Extreme Cheapskate show kills me! Those people are almost ridiculous. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI really need to work on being a little more ~thrifty~
I agree. I didn't get into thrifting until being married, and now it's the best. I am curious to check out the thrift stores in my new area (I just moved) but will have to wait until the baby is a bit older and can out and about. This post makes me excited for that! and I love the bow tie collars too! Oh and the sale rack at F21! They actually have pretty good deals there on that rack!
ReplyDeleteMan everytime I go there is absoulty nothing haha I think its because I always go to thrift stores in pretty popular big cities so everything is taken!
