February: The Month of No Frivolous Spending In the beginning of the month, I announced on Instagram that February would be the month I don’t spend money on anything frivolous. Although, I am naturally quite parsimonious and never spend outside of my means, I wanted to set a new goal for myself

Now that I thrift, I find it comforting to know the entire selection is “clearance”. Not only is thrifting good for your bank account, but it is also better for the environment. Just knowing I might find another hero item such as these gives me such a thrill fast fashion just can’t replace. Some people don’t have the patience to sift through rack after rack and some people don’t live in a good thrifting area.

These have been a game changer for me because I actually prefer to use a straw for a lot of my drinks – especially coffee because it reduces staining of the teeth. Plus, your eco-friendly giftee will find it all the more special it’s been reused! Not only is this a fashion-forward, luxurious gift, but it’s also incredibly eco-friendly. If your eco-friendly loved one is also into fashion, consider giving the gift of cashmere.

One of the easiest ways to transition a summer dress into a fall outfit is to toughen it up so it is not so girly. Every fall and winter season, I find the item I most rely on is my black booties. Come fall time,  I find booties compliment just about every outfit – even this summery dress. By pairing  it with a fall accessory, it transitions the outfit completely, making it much more seasonally appropriate.
