Adventures in Thrifting Part 16: Bohemian Maxi Skirt with Suede Ankle Boots & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #719
Lacking in content last week, I decided to resurrect my Adventures in Thrifting series after putting it to rest two and a half years ago. In this randomly unscheduled series, I highlight one or a few preloved items that have made their way into my wardrobe. Many of my favorite clothing items were either purchased secondhand or preloved by someone else who passed them onto me. Because these thrifty finds are budget-friendly and environmentally-conscious, I seem to cherish them a little bit more than brand new items purchased at retail. Secondhand finds are just more special! Since last week’s revival of my Adventures in Thrifting was met with positivity and…

The Thrifty Six: European Summer
Welcome to August’s edition of The Thrifty Six! We are a group of international fashion lovers who meet once a month in our little space on the internet to share our thrifty outfits. On the third Monday of every month, we will all share an outfit based on a theme that features preloved wardrobe pieces.

Adventures in Thrifting Part 15: White Floral Dress with a Raggy Scarf & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #718
Way back in the fall of 2020, I started a little blog series called Adventures in Thrifting which focused on my preloved clothing finds. The series was inspired by The Thrifty Six which was launched at the same time. While The Thrifty Six has continued to thrive for the past four years, creating preloved outfits every month with a shared theme, my Adventures in Thrifting seemed to die out after the fourteenth post in December 2021. Today I decided to resurrect my Adventures series. The driving force behind this last minute decision was based solely on the fact that I didn’t have any content planned for today’s link party post.…

The Great Ant War of ’24 & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #712
On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, I declared war. By Wednesday, July 3, 2024, I had annihilated my Lilliputian foes. Because my final war tactic was so successful, I feel somewhat of an obligation to share it with you. You might also be in the midst of a vicious battle with tiny black ants. If you are, I know how to win! The initial and unprovoked attack on my home began on the first hot and humid day of late spring. They come every year but generally the troops are small and remain contained around the perimeter of my pantry with a few stragglers making their way into the kitchen. Some…
