So my first blog Post!!! WooHoo!! I must say the thought of starting a blog was a little daunting to me, especially since I'm quite busy anyways, but i thought to myself after appearances on tv and now signing up to do some writing for MomsEveryday i thought it was time. So here i go on this blogging journey.
As one can see the name of my blog is Tres Thrifty Chic. Why this? Well i love to the thrift shop! I'm legit addicted. Yes i can go everyday and never tire and almost always find something to purchase...haha! much to my closet dismay and the dismay of my bedroom in general. I love all things clothes and fashion. I really could make a living doing this if somehow i could figure out a way to get paid to shop. Well there is some ways and i will share those later.
I will tell you a little about myself and why i started thrift shopping. I married young and had 3 beautiful children young. Like 19 years old young. I wanted to stay home with my kids and being that we were working on providing everything on my husbands income alone in became a necessity. After awhile though it became fun! You know how some guys like hunting, well this is like hunting for me, bargain hunting!! I have now appeared on local tv talking bout thrift shopping and I'm planning on doing many more segments as the host of the show will put me on. I love to share tips, tricks, and hints. I love to show outfits that are under $20 and most times they are under $10!
Well enough about me...
I'll start tomorrow with some hints, tips and tricks i discovered along the way on this journey. I have many ideas that id like to share but thought first id try and give you a little backstory. In the meantime here is a picture of a recent thrifty outfit.
This entire outfit, boots included, was $3!!! The tank top is Pink by Victoria Secret which I picked up at Goodwill for $3, the sweater was from a family member who was going to donate it, and the jeans and boots are from a church clothing swap!
