I feel that this post is long overdue, but I think it’s finally time that I share my best tips for how to build a wardrobe on a budget. For the last 9 years, I have been on a style journey to create an affordable wardrobe full of clothes that I love to wear. After college, I found myself in a style rut. I wasn’t sure how I could transition my wardrobe into adulthood. With student loan debt and a low-paying job, I didn’t have the money to shop for a brand-new wardrobe.

My Favorite Thrift Finds of 2021!

January 1, 2022 by Katie Haller

At the end of every year, I usually put out a post of my favorite finds from the previous year. This year I am switching it up. As I was going through my list of favorite purchases from the year, I realized that most of them were thrifted. Instead of sharing them all, I decided to break apart the post and share a round-up of my favorite thrift finds of the year separately. There were just too many good purchases from the year to narrow them down into one post.

Organizing Your Small Closet on a Budget

March 29, 2021 by Katie Haller

Nothing makes me happier than a clean organized closet. I feel like people often overlook the fact that having an organized closet will not only keep things tidy, but it will also help you save money. When you have a place for everything, you know where to find it. If you know what you have in your closet, then you are less likely to go out and buy something new.

10 Clothing Items to Buy at the Thrift Store

February 22, 2021 by Katie Haller

People often tell me that they love my thrift finds, but they never find anything good at the thrift store themselves. I totally get it. Thrift shopping can be intimidating at first. It is a skill you have to learn. You can’t expect to walk into a thrift store with one thing in mind and find exactly what you’re looking for. You have to keep an open mind when thrift shopping. What I found out is that nothing beats the price you pay at a thrift store and once you find that perfect thrift find you will be hooked! There is something for everyone if you are willing to take the time to hunt for it.Read more

No Buy New November Challenge

November 1, 2020 by Katie Haller

A challenge to help you spend less money

I shared last week over on Instagram that I want to do a challenge for the month of November. For the entire month of November, I am not going to buy anything new for myself. This includes; Clothes, shoes, and accessories. Because I love to shop and I feel like it would be too difficult for me to completely cut myself off from shopping, I am going to allow myself to shop at only second-hand stores in November. I’m going to use the hashtag #nobuynewnovember when I share my outfits on Instagram and I’d love it if you would join me!
