Happy Memorial Day Thriftanistas!

For many people, Memorial Day is more about a long weekend, a BBQ with family and time to capitalize on all the retail sales. However, as a current Soldier, Memorial Day is about taking a moment to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. With all the Memorial Day events happening in Huntsville, I opted for a casual look. Details on this look inside…. Continue reading →

Hey Thriftanistas!

I have been receiving so many compliments about my hair that I had to write a post. For months, I have been experimenting with hairstyles that would fit my lifestyle. I have worn wigs, box braids , quick weaves yet for one reason or another these styles didn’t quite fit the mold. My criteria regarding hairstyles is a little complicated but I’ll share a few of details. First, I am in the military reserves so I need a hairstyle that accommodates the Army regulations regarding my soft cap (no bulky styles, remove the box braids). Continue reading →

Hey Thriftanistas!

This warm weather has me bringing out all the clothing that has been hidden in my closet for months. In December, J.C. Penney’s decided to close their Huntsville location and they had a huge liquidation sale. I spent $20 for a summer wardrobe and saved $610 for brand new clothing. Girl, that is better than thrift store prices! This dress is one of the pieces I picked up and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase!

Happy Wednesday Thriftanistas!

This past weekend my family came to visit from Tennessee and we had a blast! From delicious food (bbq by my dad) to great conversations with my sibling, I couldn’t ask for a better Mother’s Day. Well, I’m not a mom yet but I know what to expect in the future when I’m expecting….lol! Get it? For a little family time I decided to wear this Nine West dress that I purchased from Salvation Army. While my dad thought I was overdressed for the occasion I thought it was perfect for a sunny afternoon. More details inside… Continue reading →

Hey Thriftanistas!

Can you believe I’m back? I have been missing my little ol’ blog featuring my thrifted fashions. However, I’m still trying to learn to balance this thing we call life! It’s crazy when you’re excelling in one area of your life another area is suffering…I mean can’t we have it all? When I started actively pursuing the things that mattered; a closer relationship with God, focusing on my family, military, work and my business goals, I finally found some time to blog. I still got work to do but just know I have not forgotten about my readers! Now let’s talk about this jumpsuit! Continue reading →

Hey Thriftanistas!

Lately, I have been opting for a casual look while attending events and running errands around town. I am not sure if the weather is the contributing factor in this decision or my advance age. However, I have been incorporating more flats (shoes) into my wardrobe from the thrift store! More pics on this look inside and check out my video here…..Happy Wednesday everyone!

Hey Thriftanistas!

How was your weekend? I had an action packed weekend but I must say I was very productive! I kicked my weekend off with a well needed pamper day at The Salon Professional Academy. When I was in college I religiously went to beauty schools because that’s all I could afford. However, as my coins increased I completely counted them out…until Groupon offered an amazing deal. Groupon is currently offering three manicures and pedicures for $33. That’s about $11 for a mani/pedi combined…#winning. Come inside to check out my review and a few tips when dealing with a beauty school. Continue reading →
