Yeah!!!!

Great Job, I've been thrifting for trends for years and it has "paid" off.

Of course, I think I set my own trends some time..got to express myself.

Looking good girl!

What a wonderful opportunity! Thanks for sharing some tips on thrift shopping. I grew up on the concept, and have found some of my favorite (and timeless) pieces from thrift stores. With the economy being the way it is, thrift store shopping is the way to go to find great deals. Though, I must say, with thrifting becoming "trendy," I have found prices aren't as discounted as they used to be. It could be that I'm longing for the days of like 10 years ago when I could buy a cute miniskirt for $.99. Yes, I do miss those days :0).

That is fantastic! Great tips.

I borrowed from your clothes ban and am using it as my Pursuit for More Clothing. Cheap. project. I have lost so much weight that I am quickly running out of clothes.

Based on your local thrifting recommendations, my 16-year-old daughter and I went to Value Village and Savers when we were in Mlps/St Paul this summer visiting colleges. We made quite the haul (had to buy another suitcase). My daughter has become a thoroughly convinced and discerning thrifter as a result. And the schools we visited definitely moved up the list on the basis of that experience (that and the great vibe of the region). Thanks so much!

Lovely Lady, lovely smile, as always! And great tips! You're really helpful, see? I do admire your thrifting patience. I can't do that anymore. The thought alone of hitting the thrift shops with my kids scares me away really fast! And to say children don't change you! Ha!

Anyways, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I hope you get even more media coverage, you deserve it!

You held your own!! I'm glad you shared that tip (that I read on here a while back) about the muted colors looking more spendy – such a goods tip!

Cayooooooot! I hope you did walk out with that motorcycle! Also, the anchorlady mentions brushed metals, which I know you like… You're on it, lady!
