Thrifted Summer Romper

September 10, 2017 by Katie Haller

I love to thrift shop because you just never know what you will find. I like to think of it as treasure hunting. Today I wanted to share one of my latest treasures I found on one of my thrift store trips.

While shopping at the Goodwill recently, I ended up finding this cute little romper that was only $2.50. I had never owned a romper before, but I’ve always liked them on other people. I figured that it would be a great piece to wear during the summer heat. I really love the print on it, and I figured that it would look cute layered up with a cardigan or on its own. For today’s look, I wore it on its own with my dark brown sandals, my brown purse, and gold accessories.

I know that summer is coming to an end, so a romper is a little out of season for most. But it’s very easy to layer and wear on a warm fall day. It’s also a good time to snag up a cute romper for a good price, especially with all the end of summer clearance sales. Below, I’ve linked a bunch of cute similar rompers all under $20!

Thrifty Fashion- White Guess Dress

April 24, 2017 by Katie Haller

I love to thrift shop and I love finding classic pieces of clothing that you can wear for a long time. Today I wanted to share this white Guess dress. I bought this dress at the Salvation Army years ago, for only $3! I bought them because you never know when you’re going to need a white dress, plus it fits me really nicely.

This dress might be older, but I still am able to incorporate it into my everyday wardrobe. Here is one way that I recently wore it.

Shopping Finds- Easter Dress

April 15, 2017 by Katie Haller

I hope everyone is having a great Easter weekend! I just had to do a quick post today to share this little dress I bought yesterday to wear as my Easter dress. I’ve been wanting to add a little floral and color to my wardrobe, so I got very excited when I found this floral blue and green print LC Lauren Conrad dress at Savers yesterday. I love the LC Lauren Conrad line at Kohls. The dresses are super feminine and flattering. This dress is perfect for any spring event. Best of all, I only paid $5 for this find!

Here is my Easter Sunday look. Everything in this look besides the purse and jewelry is thrifted.

Shopping Finds- Thrift Store Looks

February 23, 2017 by Katie Haller

Whenever I have a Monday off work for a holiday, I always try to make a trip to Savers to check out their sales. This President’s Day, I couldn’t help myself but to drive up and check out the 50% off sale. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but I ended up finding some really cute things at a great price as always!

Here are some of my findings. I put together a few looks that I can’t wait to wear!

This grey Target cardigan was only $3. I love cardigans and grey goes with everything. I thought it looked really nice with this teal tunic, which was only $3 as well.

I really liked this olive green long sleeve top. It’s super lightweight and it has a nice fit. It was only $2.

I also found this brown cardigan for $4. I don’t have anything brown like this, so I thought it would be nice to have in my cardigan collection. I paired it up with the olive green top.

I always feel like my closet is lacking color, so I bought this rust orange color cardigan. It’s the same as my grey H&M cardigan that I wear all the time, so I knew I would like it. It was only $3.

I’m always looking for cute shorts, so I was excited when I found these Abercrombie jean shorts for only $5. With the hot Las Vegas summers, I knew I would be needing more shorts. I also love the statement necklace I found for $2.99. I love how simple it is and how you can wear it with any look to dress it up.

I can’t wait to incorporate these items into my everyday looks!
Happy thrift shopping!

Thrifty Looks- Favorite Thrift Store Dresses

November 28, 2016 by Katie Haller

The last couple of months have just been a blur for me. Jack is so busy that my days are filled with chasing him around the house, feeding him, cleaning up after him and pretty much spending every moment thinking about him. I’ve been wanting to get back into doing some more outfit post, however, it’s not as easy as it used to be in my pre-baby life. Sometimes I feel like I’m lacking in my creativity. I decided that I would do a “Thrifty Looks” series of posts to share some of my favorite thrift stores finds. I always like to stay true to the theme of my blog and show off my affordable clothing. I thought that by sharing my favorite thrift store finds and how simple it can be to incorporate them into my everyday wardrobe, would be the perfect way to do just that!

Today, I thought that I would share some of my dresses that I’ve bought at either the Salvation Army or Savers in the past few years. I was recently looking through my closet and I realized that probably about 50% of my dresses have been bought at thrift stores. Dresses are just one of those items that are always a great find at a thrift store. They are usually cheap, and unless its something too flashy, they usually won’t go out of style anytime soon. I love to adopt dresses into my own closet and accessorize them up.

Here are 4 thrift store dresses, all under $5. This is how I am accessorizing them for fall and winter this year.

This first dress is a simple brown dress that I bought a few years back at the Salvation Army. Brown isn’t always my favorite color on me, but because of how comfortable and basic this dress is, I’ve kept it. This fall, I’ve decided to style it with an infinity scarf and taupe ankle boots. The purse is also a thrift store find from this past Memorial Day sale at Savers (post here).

************************************************************

I bought this Forever 21 t-shirt dress at Savers last year at the Labor Day sale (post here). I love how comfortable this dress is. I recently styled it with my denim jacket, ankle boots, a silver scarf, and my thrifted brown purse again.

****************************************************************

This dress is actually a hand me down from my mom, but it was purchased at a second-hand store. I love how simple and classic this dress is on its own, but it also looks great layered up as well. For this look here, I added my leopard scarf, denim jacket, black wedge shoes, and my brown purse again.

**************************************************************

I bought this simple fitted black dress at the Salvation Army a few years ago. I believe I only paid $2 for it. I love black dresses because you can never go wrong with an LBD. I feel that you can never have enough black dresses in your closet, especially when you’re buying them for only $2, right? I styled up this dress with my grey blazer, turquoise pendant necklace, my blush crossbody purse, and black peep-toed shoes.

Being a thrifty shopper will always help out your bank account and you can still have a great collection of clothes. Just keep your eye out for those special pieces. Do you have any great thrift store finds hanging in your closet?

Shopping Finds~ $9 Outfit

June 13, 2015 by Katie Haller

One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday morning is to head out for a little thrift store shopping. This weekend I decided to check out The Goodwill. When I go to a thrift store, I like to go with a clear mind and plenty of time to look through the racks. That’s why a Saturday morning is the perfect time of the week to go.

On this particular shopping trip, I really enjoyed searching through the clothes racks. Thrift store shopping can be so much fun hunting out those great bargain prices. The best part is, on top of the already low prices, there is always a sale. Today it was 50% off green and purple tags.

I’ve set a budget for myself when it comes to thrift store shopping. $10 is my max, so I try to stretch it out as much as I can. I ended up finding an entire outfit for $9!!

Striped Top- $2

Denim Shorts- $4

Wedge Sandals- $3

(The necklace was a recent Target clearance purchase, so it doesn’t count for the outfit)
