Thrifty Thursday

As some of you may know I was born and raised in Walla Walla, Washington....on the other side of the beautiful mountains :) It's about 4 hours away in the south eastern tip of the state. When I go home to visit the one thing I always do is hit up yard sales with my mama. She has taught me well and my eye is now trained to find those bargains and one of kind key items for the wardrobe/home. Check out these high waisted Levi denim shorts...They are a little snug on me, but they button so I will rock them! Ha! I plan to do a little stud detailing on mine...you can also dye your shorts too because that seems to be the trend now. Happy Thrifting! You never know what you may find out there..and remember to always MAKE IT YOUR OWN!

 My find=50 cents! "WHAT!"

Here is what you can do with them

Simple skinny belt
Tie together with a cute handbag


Over-sized sweater and scarf
Simple sandals/flats


Black tights
Basic black blazer or leather jacket

SPICE IT UP!

    1. Hey Jin! I'm glad you like the idea here! I just ordered my studs and cant wait to go crazy with them. Funny you mention Tonya! I use to work with her at my first job ever, it was at a tanning salon! She has some stories! ;) You're not the only one who thinks of that...HAPPY THRIFTING!
