I admit it, that title is a bit dramatic. But since I’ve already used “A Tale of Two Blazers,” I went with it. Also, it’s not really a cage match as I right now I plan to keep both of my new finds (below)… but depending on which I reach for more, one may eventually […]
Last Friday it was a RePodcast, this Friday it’s a ReVideo – what is the world coming to?? Anna of The Anna Edit recently posted a video of winter additions to her capsule(ish) wardrobe. They’re all retail (shock!) but the reason I wanted to talk about it here is because of how well one of […]
I considered reselling in the early days of this blog when someone asked me whether I a biker jacket I had thriftstagrammed was for sale:
Last week I shared the conversation my friend Hannah and I had about whether thrifting contributes to gentrification. I mentioned in the intro to that post that it seemed disingenuous to write about whether my thrift habit negatively affects those with limited resources without including the voices of the people in question. Hannah grew up using […]
I’ve added tapered chinos in this color to my thrifting list: Not necessarily looking for Khakis by Gap, but I did love the fabric and fit…just a leetle too small For blue pants I normally stick to navy, since it’s subtle and neutral, but this brighter, lighter hue will go with everything in my warm weather wardrobe (including […]
Tuesday’s post on şalvar/Hammer pants/jupe-culotte (aka “harem pants”) got me thinking about the power held by the words we use to talk about the way we dress. Caroline at Un-Fancy blogged last week (in a post featuring a great thrifted sweater!) about how she’s been “hearing murmurs that skinny jeans are on their way out” but that she was in […]
Conscious by Chloé features French blogger Chloé Lepeltier’s adventures in simpler living, including making hip outfits out of secondhand finds and ethically made clothing. Don’t worry, it’s in English (she’s based in Portland). Bonus for any of you francophiles out there, though: her friend Alyssa Pacaut blogs on her transformation into a full-blown Frenchie at […]
Jaana at This Mom’s Gonna Snap is a funky, funny, photography-loving mom to Stevie (which I’m pretty sure is the coolest name ever). She blogs about their adventures together, her “momdrobe” (mom + wardrobe = momdrobe), and the challenges of parenting-while-introverted/parenting a kiddo with special needs. She recently posted about her revamped capsule wardrobe: thanks […]
Yello! I’m back from a lovely Christmas hiatus that bled into the New Year due to busy-ness at the job. When you work at a church and have 7 funerals in 2 weeks, ya don’t get much time to blog. Yipes! But I’m happy to reunite with you all and I would LOVE to hear […]
Francine Jay is the blogger behind Miss Minimalist, a great collection of inspiring examples of minimalism. Her definition: Being mindful about what we own and consume…because our resources (space, energy, money, time) are limited, and we should put them to the best use possible. Minimalism is determining when you have enough, so you can do […]
