Back to My Roots with Thrifting Tips

Back to My Roots with Thrifting Tips

I thought it might be fun to return to the roots of how this blog began and offer some advice for thrift shopping.  When I experienced my makeover moment almost 16 years ago, I wanted to completely re-do my style but had very little additional budget to work with.  So, I became a constant thrift…
