One thing I absolutely LOVE is a good deal–I mean, who doesn’t?! *wink* So, when I went shopping at the grand opening of Gabe’s in Johnson City, Tennessee, I was in heaven!

Weekly Whistle: Head-to-Toe Blush | Monochromatic Pastel

Weekly Whistle: Head-to-Toe Blush | Monochromatic Pastel

Weekly Whistle: The $3 Outfit | Thrifting

Back before thrifting was a “cool thing to do,” I took just a few dollars a month and went to thrift shops in Starkville, Mississippi (not far from where I grew up) in search of vintage gems and clothing items to DIY. I found somany awesome things–some of which I still wear on the blog to this day. Now, at this time in my life when I told people that I was thrifting, they looked at me like I was…
