Each month I pick out 4 pins from my Women’s Style board on Pinterest and use thrift shopping to recreate those outfits. You’ll get to see the whole process here as well as exactly how much I spent versus what would be spent at traditional stores. I am so excited for you to see the August outfits!

July was HOT here in Dallas! I wonder what this month has in store us lol. This is our last full month left in Dallas before we move to UTAH!

So many exciting things happening, but before we go I want to know. What things are a must in Texas? We are thinking about taking a road trip through Texas to hit the big ticket items. Let me know in the comments please! Meanwhile here are 4 stunning August outfits for you to recreate.

Thrifting in Dallas

In honor of us moving away from Dallas I am writing up a few guides to the city! The first and most important is of course the Food Guide. Second is the What to do Guide. And Finally and probably the ACTUAL most important: the Dessert Guide! Those should all be going up soon so keep an eye out or sign up for my newsletter to be notified when they go live! Sign up box is at the bottom if you’re on your phone.

I am going to miss the thrift store here, their half off Wednesdays and all the workers I’ve made friends with. Not to mention I have had some REALLY great finds here. Hopefully the thrift stores near us in Utah have a great selection too. Let me know what you thought of these August outfits in the comments!
