Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Project Remade with ThredUp

April 19, 2018 by Katie Haller

Recycled fashion
It’s no secret that I love to thrift shop.  I save so much money on my wardrobe by buying my clothes at second-hand stores.  I am the kind of person who can’t enjoy my clothes unless I know that I got a great deal on them.  Besides saving me money, I also really love the idea of recycling my wardrobe.  I don’t think that most people realize just how much pollution the fashion industry produces.  It’s the second most polluting industry next to petroleum.  When I shop second hand, I’m not only helping my bank account, but I’m also making a small step to help preserve our planet for the future. 
*This post is part of a collaboration with ThredUP.  As always all opinions are 100% my own. 

In honor of Earth Day, I’ve teamed up with my favorite online thrift store, ThredUP, to help promote their campaign, Project Remade.  ThredUP has selected 12 artists to respond to the statement “Climate Change is Not Real”.  Their reactions were printed onto second-hand T-shirts and are currently up for sale at ThredUp HERE!  All proceeds are going towards the environmental non-profit organization Cool Effects.  I have picked a few of my favorite designs to share below.

I’m definitely not perfect when it comes to living green, but I feel like if we all make small changes in our lives, we can do our part to preserve our planet for future generations.

Happy Earth Day everyone!

Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according to my 7-year-old we won’t need to wear boots or snow pants to school anymore. 🤣 I really hope he’s right because I am getting really sick of my winter clothes! 

I had to take a little break from sharing my daily SAHM outfits because I feel like the weather isn’t allowing me to wear what I want to wear. I am doing my best to fight through these last couple months of cold weather with my outfits. 

Here’s what I wore Friday-Monday (my outfits got better as the week went on) Which is your favorite?

It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. wh It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. what I wore then” post. This week I am updating this pencil skirt outfit that I wore to work in 2014. There is nothing wrong with a classic black pencil skirt, but I am switching my pints from the top to the bottom with this printed pencil skirt. 

Can we also have a moment of silence for the big bubble necklaces. I loved my green bubble necklace. It always put a pop of color into any outfit, but I am kind of glad that we moved away from big statement necklace. They aren’t very easy to wear around little kids. 🤣 Instead of a statement necklace I added some color in with some statement bracelets.
