Ok so I received a couple emails from my new blogger friends about thrifting and how to find clothes and not just accessories or knick knacks. You just have to think about a piece of clothing in your head before you go looking. Sometimes you really need to try it on, too. Things might look really weird on the hanger but really cute on. Remember you are going to wash everything before you wear it. I've bought entire outfits at the thrift store before like this one [scarf, shirt, shorts]:
Ballard Designs and other places like Pottery Barn sell these really cute Sunburst Mirrors for like $400. I wanted one so bad and I thought I could totally make this myself...so I did...for a grand total of $30.
[I win]
Ballard Design's Sunburst Mirror for $346
My Homemade Sunburst Mirror for $30
DIY projects and thrifting can save you some serious moolah and it's a good accomplished feeling to know you made it yourself. I've re-done my bar stools with fabric from the thrift store and turned two old shutters into magazine holders. Like so:
