The third Monday of the month means Thrifty Six time! If you’re new, the Thrifty Six is a collaboration of six bloggers who share a love of secondhand fashion. Once a month, one of us picks a theme and we all create outfits around that prompt, with a thrifted item being the centerpiece of the look.

Emma’s idea was perfect—to make January less gloomy by forcing us to wear fun colors, instead of the dark colors so common in the dreary winter months. I figured, what better way to brighten up January than with a teal faux fur coat?! Continue reading “Let’s Brighten Up January with The Thrifty Six”
