Pumped!

Being a broke college kid means savings! There are plenty of ways to save when you are poor like me! The key is to reuse and recycle!

I like to rummage through my parents closet. I don’t just limit myself to my Mom’s side either; my Dad has some cute old vintage tees and plaid work shirts with paint splatters. He also has some really awesome belts! My Mom has so many random clothes, too. Some are from back in the day, like her leather motorcycle vest and old military uniforms. Recently, I have even taken to wearing some of her old swimsuits that are krazy prints and we also wear the same shoe size!

I am the younger sister so I grew up with hand-me-downs! We used to constantly fight over who stole what from each others' laundry basket. I still love clothes swapping and borrowing each others’ stuff. Between my friends and family, I am able to scrounge up some awesome finds!

Giving back to Thrift Stores or Goodwill, not only makes me feel good, but it also allows more room in my wardrobe. I love going to Plato’s Closet or Arizona Trading Company or vintage stores and getting money back for last year’s clothes.

This outfit was from a while ago, Cara and I had fun just dancing around taking pictures out our own front door. I would wear this outfit to go out in or even just to go shopping . The good thing about this dress is that it can be dressed up, with accessories and heels, or down, with some sneakers and socks. The color and fit are important. This dress is such a neutral color so it can be worn doing anything and also has a good fit.
