    Where do you find these?

    Oh hey, it’s Jess–an obsessed with smocked frocks mother of one. You thought I had an entire troop, didn’t you? Nope! Just one adorable darling-Philomena. My whole heart and you better believe I dress her everyday for the occasion…of being the best dressed. I dress her for the 17.7 million birthdays we have per day! When I “purge” online several mom’s have asked : “Where do you find all these? Where do you get these? Where can I find more of these?” and because I don’t believe in gatekeeping whatsoever, I am here to share whatever I find because as someone who has been secondhand shopping for longer than some…

    Speed Thrifting Haul

    This week’s haul was all over the place. I was speed thrifting (is that a thing?!) after work this Friday before our weekend trip to see some friends AND I was looking for particular items AND I found them (and a few bonuses)!  It was a very random, but also very lucky thrifting haul.

I needed a few things to wear this weekend. I found these Erica Taylor pants for $4 with tags…

    Why Thrift?

    I cannot wear an outfit, cook a meal or host an event without a thing or two that has been given a new life through thrift. Thrifting makes sense for so many reasons, but if you’re on the fence here are a few to consider! Thrifting can help your community. Depending on the thrift store, the funds can go directly back into the community you love and live in. Thrifting is easy on the planet. Why make and buy new, when you can buy a perfectly good version that already exists! Skip the filling up another landfill situation all together! Thrifting is easy your wallet. $100 for a pair of jeans?…
