Galentine’s Photoshoot – Second Hand Fashion Nova

I really LOVE to shop at thrift stores, and I'm lucky to have found some amazing friends who love to do the same. For fun, we pulled out our cutest Valentine's Day inspired thrifted outfits for an epic Galentine's Photoshoot! I found this Fashion Nova one piece off the shoulder jumpsuit last summer and knew I had to have it to wear for a fun and special occasion. It was too hot to wear then, so I saved it, and[...]

Thrifted Doctor Who Cosplay – 13th Doctor

Doctor Who is my favorite show, y’all, and when I found out that the new doctor that regenerated was going to be a WOMAN, I was so excited. I wanted to create a Doctor Who cosplay outfit from scratch with my thrift finds. It only took a few trips to gather everything I needed. My last find was actually quite suspenseful. I knew I would have to piece everything together and even do a DIY to create the specific c[...]

Thrift Store Decor – Minimalist DIY Furniture Upcycle

Thrift Store Decor Thrift stores are amazing for secondhand clothes, but I also absolutely love finding furniture at thrift stores. My favorite thrift store decor "wins" have been a $3 drum lamp shade, my old upcycled dresser that I have since sold, Greyson's dresser and mirror and other items in his nursery design, and my real wood living room side table and coffee table. And then there's nothing quite like findi[...]

$20 Thrift Haul – Thrift Giant $2 Sale

Latest Thrift Haul Wins I recently visited my favorite Thrift Giant store for their random $2 clothing sale. I found 4 pieces for me and 4 pieces for Greyson. I also purchased a blanket for my hairless dog who chews up blankets. I didn't go early like I usually do, I actually had no intention of going at all, but I'm so glad that I did. I'm finally starting to grow, seeing as I've been the same size since middle s[...]
