When I heard from my friend Jan about a local thrift shop called Pennywise, I thought to myself, there better not be a creepy clown section. Spoiler alert – there isn’t, but there is a great resale shop on a great mission! There are actually several PennyWise Resale Shop locations in and around Houston and they all support the Fort Bend Women’s Center which has been around since
At my recent clothing swap party – which I blogged about over on Houston Moms Blog (but which is applicable no matter where you live!) – I shared a little with my guests about why clothing swaps are a good idea – namely as a step away from fast fashion and towards a more sustainable garment industry. I must have done a good job telling people YOU
Let’s just pretend it’s April 30th and I’m not #alwayslate, agreed?! I had some fun thrifting in April and scored some pieces that made April outfits and are going to see plenty of wear time in May as the weather gets warmer here in Texas! Here they are… That’s all the items… I bought! I also scored some great pieces at the clothing swap I
Even before I moved to Houston, I followed Houston thrift-fashionistas and was thrilled to finally have the chance to join Pam’s Houston thrifters’ meet up last week! We hit up Value Village – not to be confused with my beloved VV Boutique back in Canada which is the equivalent of Savers here in the US, however there are no Savers stores in Houston. Which is NO
Oh April! You waited till the end of the month to play pranks on me! I was all set to shop April’s thrift-store-of-the-month, The Red Door, on Tuesday with my thrift sis Mary… But when we arrived at 10am, the store was closed and the hours posted were different from the calendar – it said it opened at 11am. Fine, no problem, Mary and I
As Earth Day (April 22) and Fashion Revolution Week (April 23 – 29) approach, I have sustainable fashion and the environment on my mind. I am dismayed to learn that there aren’t any Fashion Revolution activities planned for Houston!! Houston is the fourth biggest city in the US!! How is this even possible?!! If somehow I’m just missing them, please tell me. I want to participate just like I
The internet is a peculiar beast. Perhaps more than any other thing, it has the power for amazing good and destructive bad. Fortunately, I see the good so much that I am often caught by surprise when the bad rears, which is fine by me. I’ll happily turn my face to the sun any day. For example, the weekend tragedy of the Humboldt Broncos was devastating to the
I *hear* there are some people who still don’t have Instagram (eh hem, Colleen) so I thought I ought to post this year’s 2018 Pinspired March Collection along with my faves and your faves according to the highly unscientific data of Instagram likes. Here is the month from 1st to 31st in all its glory! The top 3 fan faves were (drum roll please)…. in 3rd
For a trophy wife, I have been awfully busy these days so this month’s recap is coming “better late than never” (and I’ve already got a jump start on thrifting for April #freshout). Here’s what I managed to thrift this month, besides what I scored at St. Vincent de Paul and March’s thrift store of the month… I did buy one other top, an Eileen
Time flies when you’re busy trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up! Alas, it’s already March 31st and it’s time to share a few things that happened this month starting with the thrift shop of the month, The Guild Shop! To clear up any confusion, this is not the same as the Charity Guild Shop which was the featured resale
