    • Day 8/365 #projectthrift365 My day started in the pouring rain, wearing rubber gloves and collecting all the garbage and shingles that were blown about in last night’s storm! Then I went to #thespiritedmini’s talent show, then thrifting with @sastier, then a quick visit with @quilting_fairy, then hip hop dress rehearsal, then making dinner for a bunch of teens, then 🍷🍷🍷! This outfit saw a lot of action!

    • Day 6/365 #projectthrift365 If you recall from my stories, I thrifted this dress for $4 on the weekend then washed and wore it Saturday night for a girl’s night in honour of my friend Mare. Then I wore it again today - WITH A DIFFERENT BRACELET- for half the day when I joined the @houstonmomsblog team for a tour of @khou11. So I’m down to $2 per wear and that is just one reason why thrifting rocks!

    • Day 5/365 #projectthrift365 If Monday were an outfit, this would be it. 😴 It was so not-exciting that I threw in a couple more-interesting shots of my roses and visitor. 🦎This non-Instagram-worthy outfit was bound to happen sooner or later and will happen again I’m sure. #reallifenothighlights Pilcro shorts from Poshmark - $18.20 @icebreakernz tee also from Poshmark - $20 Metallic flats - $7.57 Accessories are a mix of #diy, @kendrascott, @shedoescreate and @burlapranch ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #mondaystyle #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #gecko #secondhandstuff #keepinitreal #thriftystyle #wiwtoday #preloved #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #thriftedchicstylechallenge #houstonfashion #fashionover40 #thriftlife #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
    • Day 4/365 of #projectthrift365 There was a chilly wind and church is always cold so I opted for this outfit based on the bottoms which hadn’t been hung up since the last time I wore them! Anyone else do that? Start by reaching for what’s out?!! Then I just gave into full on M.M.S. (Matchy Matchy Syndrome) And of course we were #almostlate.🤷🏼‍♀️ @lillap wide-leg crops - $1.75 Sleeveless salmon top - $3.50 Kimono - $2 @easyspiritofficial sling backs - $2 Sunnies handmedown from my sis Coral pendant necklace and earrings by @shedoescreate Dyberg/Kern gold bracelet - gifted but thrifted for $3 Navy bracelet by @shopjustone Peach bracelet - 50 cents ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #matchymatchy #kimonostyle #outfitoftheday #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #norepeats #thriftystyle #fashiongram #wiwtoday #preloved #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #thriftedchicstylechallenge #houstonfashion #fashionover40 #thriftlife #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
    • Day 3/365 #projectthrift365 It was warm but rainy in Houston today and I had in my head that I would make a quick thrift stop then go and get some garden supplies to attempt to not kill an herb garden... only one of those happened, as you know from my stories!

    • Day 2/365 #ProjectThrift365 where I went through about five outfits before settling on this one! I’ve blogged about this before that sometimes something just feels right and truly it wasn’t until I selected earrings that my outfit felt right and everything else fell into place. Anyone else experience this phenomenon? Black top - $4.20 Chambray skirt - $6 @bussola_shoes t-strap sandals - $7 Vintage navy leather purse - $1 Accessories from @shedoescreate, @kendrascott, @theavenueclothingco (I have had the earrings and necklace for about 10 years!! Quality accessories are worth it!) ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #secondhandstuff #norepeats #secondhandfirst #inspiration #thriftystyle #fashiongram #wiwtoday #preloved #fashionpost #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #thriftedchicstylechallenge #houstonfashion #fashionover40 #thriftlife #thrifteatdrinkrepeat

    • If relaxing on a donut floatie isn’t peak Texas Trophy Wife, I don’t know what is. {even factoring in the secondhand swimsuit} 🍩 And that, y’all, concludes 2019 #PinspiredMarch. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 It has been a blast and though I’m tempted to keep going, I can’t sustain it over the long term unless I truly become a trophy wife and get some staff!!! Is that too much to ask?! 😬 Be sure to scroll back through this month’s #pinspired thrifted looks and those from years past and let me know:: 1. Which is your fave from 2019? 2. Which is your fave of all time? I’ll do a recap blog post sometime this week! Thanks for tuning in y’all! Half the fun is reading all your comments and encouragement! It keeps me going all year long! AND, cheers to us all for making it through the longest dreariest month!! 🥂 ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #pinspiration #pinneditthriftedit #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #donutfloatie #poolsidechillin #thriftedswimwear #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #copycat #secondhandstuff #pintereststyle #inspiration #thriftystyle #lookoftheday #fashionpost #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #houstonfashion #fashionover40 #thriftlife #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
