Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Tie Dye & Link Up On the Edge #251
One of summer’s hottest trends right now is tie dye. While my hippie soul has always loved tie dye, there was a time when the only tie dye garments you could get were the ones that you dyed yourself at home. And I am not one to be dying anything other than my hair at home. Because I make a huge mess when I start playing around with things of this nature. So I was very happy when tie dye came back into the popular fashion scene making it more easily attainable for un-crafty people like me. With tie dye trending in the most colorful way this summer, Nancy and…

The Thrifty Six in Denim Days
It was my turn to choose this month’s thrifty theme and I went for Denim Days for a variety of reasons. I probably wear denim the most frequently at this time of year as we transition from winter to spring and the weather is still cool. I also have a lot of thrifted and preloved denim items which would make it easy for me to style a denim based outfit without shopping for something new. Ironically, however, I never did style a new denim themed outfit for this challenge because the weather has been complete shit. It has been raining for days, the ground is all muddy, the sky is…
