The Black & White Fashion Trend (On a Budget)

One of the reasons I love to thrift shop is the thrill of finding a really great bargain at an unbelievable price. As a matter of fact, I love to window shop at major retailers and then try to duplicate similar outfits when shopping at Goodwill. This past weekend, I visited a major retailer and checked out the "What's Trending” section. I saw a super cute black-and-white clothing display and instantly thought I could recreate the same look for a fraction of the price. Here are some of my favorite black-and-white outfits from Goodwill.

Looking Rich While Staying on a Budget

It's no secret that wealthy individuals maintain their fortune because they often live frugal lifestyles. The wealthy save money and are very selective on how they spend their income. To be honest, I don't know a lot of rich people, but I'd bet many of them shop at thrift stores like Goodwill. The warmer weather brings many great holidays, weddings and parties to attend, and sometimes you just want to go dressed like a rich chick! I have a few special occasions coming up, so I did what I think rich people sometimes do—you guessed it, I went to Goodwill to find the perfect outfit!

Vacation Essentials at Goodwill

This past weekend I took a trip to New Orleans for my sister’s bachelorette party and before I left, I visited my local Goodwill to shop for vacation essentials. One of the reasons I highly recommend shopping at your local thrift store for vacation essentials is because, for most people, the cost of going on vacation can quickly add up. Once you’ve booked your flight and hotel, plus added in food and vacation activities, you may start to feel a little stressed out. I save money by picking up the basics at Goodwill. This way I can look cute on a budget!!!

Remix Your Wardrobe with Accessories

Nothing makes an outfit stand out more than awesome accessories. Accessories can literally disguise the outfit you wore only yesterday, and hide the fact that you just shook off the dust and decided to wear it again today! Simply put, accessories create a completely brand new look.
