#TrendyTuesday: Yellow is my main-squeeze
For years, I have been obsessed with the color yellow, and everyone else is FINALLY loving it too! Yellow is THE color of the season, so don’t shy away. Wide legged pants can be daunting, but I am all about taking a wardrobe risk! (Try it once and you’ll love it too. Guarantee it.) My J. Crew flared dress pants are super trendy and even more comfortable. I can’t believe I snagged these from the New Circle location (Lexington) for just $4.29. I usually stick with a neutral top
#TrendyTuesday: A swing dress for spring weather
#TrendyTuesday: Molly made her first debut on the blog this week! I sat down and she hopped up beside me; she must love Goodwill as much as I do! In other news, I purchased this entire outfit for less than $11. I’m a big fan of spring stripes and swing dresses, but it takes the right pieces to coordinate. Here’s how: Swing dresses are so effortless and trendy. I purchased this navy and lime one as part of the color of the week sale for only $2.65 at the Elizabethtown location
#TrendyTuesday: Pastels and polka dots endorsed by TODAY
I love when the TODAY Show blesses my morning with inspo from style expert, Melissa Garcia! We all love pastels and polka-dots, which are HOT this spring. But, I’m not willing to pay my savings on one outfit. To prove that YOU can thrift this season’s fashion without breaking the bank, I’ve styled pastels and polka-dots purchased from my local Goodwill! Let’s start with the pattern. Polka-dots just may be my favorite print! This $3.99 Talbots button-up is a cotton and linen m

Fuzzy Wuzzy was...actually Sherpa material
I’m sure I’d be preaching to the choir if I told you that Sherpa is everything and more it’s hyped up to be. But really, this Sherpa trend is the most comfortable one we could’ve asked for! Because everyone is wanting Sherpa everything, I’m here to let The Good Life in on a thrifty secret. I purchased this Sherpa SO printed vest at the Broadway location (Louisville) for just $6.29 I had been looking at a similar item at a retailer earlier in the winter season, but couldn’t br
#ThriftyThursday: NYE party decor DIY

Items you’ll need: A punch bowl or a large piece of glassware Ornaments (Steer away from green and red) Beads (Look in the accessories/jewelry section of your local Goodwill) I purchased the most important it
#ThriftyThursday: Gold sequins are a girl's best friend
#ThriftyThursday: Holiday season is the best season for everything metallic! This look would be perfect for family holiday cards and other fall and winter festivities. With this look, it’s ALL about the shoes. I came across this pair of Shully’s metallic pointed-toe flats at the Hartland location (Lexington) for just $3.99! They were brand new, never worn. The foil texture and gold plate on top are the ideal holiday event flat. After I fell in love with the shoes, I picked up

#ThriftyThursday: Steve Madden, the champ of all outfit inspo
#ThriftyThursday: Some trends come and go. And some just stay put! This #ThriftyThursday is all about styling unique and basic pieces together for a variety of fall looks in the same outfit. I constantly look for dresses that are atypical. When I ran across this Aryn K. two-toned Anthropolgie dress, I fell in love! The metal roping crosses the chest, and the corduroy skirt makes for uniquely paired textures. It zips straight off the back, but falls to the shoulder as a scoop
#ThriftyThursday: Power red and flared legs spice up business casual
#ThriftyThursday: Business casual is my favorite style, but honestly, it’s easy to get in a routine of the same combo. If there is any inspo I am taking this season, it’s that neutrals need a bold pop of color and the early 2000s flared pants are back and better than ever! When I ran across this Express wrap top at the Bellerive location (Nicholasville) I knew it was a hit. The original $39.90 tags were still attached! I love its quality cotton material, and v-neck cut. With
