Thanks for joining me!
I’ve talked about writing for a long time and I think 2019 is the time to start actually writing, so here goes. 40Something is a blog about being 40 something, single(ish), and child free in Charlotte, NC. I’m absolutely not an influencer, but I’d like to influence myself to get more out of life and find some joy in the little (and big) things. So that’s my plan. š
Another part of my plan is to work on my style. I’m not exactly stylish, but I have my own style and it’s missing something. And here is where the “year of magical thrifting comes in.” I’m going to improve my style without buying new things. I’m all about shopping sites like #thredup and #poshmark and #etsy and I will use these and other sites to beef up my #style while saving some cash. Additionally, I just bought a house and am in the process of adding my style to it. Thrifting & estate sales are how I’m going to do that.
Here are my rules: No new clothes or shoes (see below for exceptions), no new home goods, no new accessories for one year starting today, February 1st, 2019. I’m really bad at finishing ANYTHING so this is a terrific challenge for me.
Exceptions: underwear, 1 pair running sneakers, face cream, make-up, & toiletries (but I have to completely finish what I have first).
