This month, I’ll be participating in the Common Threads Challenge hosted by some of my favorite bloggers:
- Alex—The Cheerful Closet
- Maricel—My Closet Catalogue
- Whitney—Whitney a la mode
- Carrie—A Stylish Fit
- Ada—Elegance and Mommyhood
- Caroline—Tasteful Style
They are choosing five pieces from their wardrobe and wearing at least one piece each day during the month of October. And they are challenging other women to do the same. I think I’m up for the challenge, so here are my five pieces:
My first two pieces are a pair of dark blue boot cut jeans (these are St. John’s Bay from JC Penney) along with a Gap silver sparkle tee shirt (thrifted). I’m wearing these with a thrifted Sonoma hoodie.
Third, my trusty orange Easy Spirit sneakers.
Fourth, a pair of black ankle pants (Chico’s).
And, fifth, a thrifed burgundy corduroy jacket (Dress Barn).
You’ll be seeing a lot of these five items this month! Be sure to check out the ladies who are hosting this challenge (links above).
I’ll end with a little plug, which I don’t often do. I often find great things that then make their way into my eBay store. If you visit by going to www.theplumshoppe.com, you can will 15% off of anything in the store at checkout.
Thank you for joining me on my frugal fashion journey! Please follow me here, on Bloglovin’, Instagram and Facebook. Check out the linkups I participate in on the sidebar to the right. And please feel free to comment — I’d love to know what you think!
So glad you’re in the challenge. Looking forward to you styling these pieces – good choices!

Thanks for linking up. This was such a great idea. I think I did it a couple of days on Instagram. Do you know if they do this every month? I figured out that the blogger of “My Cheerful Closet” lives in the Kansas City area. Small world…..Take care, until we talk again.

I believe this is the first month they’ve done it. I wonder if they will continue! I just happened across it and thought it would be fun, but it’s been harder than I expected! Still, it makes you look at your closet in a different way!

I like the idea behind it. But I know you and I thrift most of our closet so it doesn’t bother me to have a lot of clothes. I look at my closet as having multiple capsule wardrobes. But I did just send a bag to stuff to the DAV in Joplin (or I gave it to Michelle to do it).
