This week I had a BLAST thrifting at the Goodwill in Akron, Oh! Four of my friends tagged along! This week I was continuing with my Fall themed Thrifty Thursdays! As you can see in the first 3 pictures are the pullovers that I got monogrammed! I talked about them in my last post and I got to pick them up today. We had to rush to the store to pick them up. They closed at 6 and I walked in at 5:56! They turned out so amazing and I cannot wait to wear them.

This week I spent $11 for my 3 items! Tomorrow, I am going to put up a post of how to wear these items with items that you will already have in your closet! But, first the white sweater, I am in love with the detail on this sweater. And, let me tell you, this is the softest sweater I have ever owned. It will be perfect for the rest of this school year, considering that last year it snowed in Kent, Ohio until April ( I sometimes wish I went to school in Florida haha)! This sweater will be perfect with either jeans or leggings, so whatever my little heart pleases that day.

Next, the red shirt! The shirt is made out of a chiffon material, I know it is hard to tell from this picture, but hopefully in my pictures tomorrow you won’t be as hard to. This shirt fit me perfectly. I love when that happens, because that does not happen too often for me!

Finally, I know you are asking me Danie, what were you thinking buying this bedazzled sweater? LET ME JUST TELL YOU… I love this sweater and I love that it was 50% off today, making it $3! It fits me more like a sweater dress. I will show you all tomorrow how it looks on, because I honestly love it!

I cannot wait to show you all how to wear these pieces in tomorrow’s post! Check it out tomorrow! Also, if you already haven’t go like my Facebook page for the most recent updates about DefiningDanie.com!

Hope you all are doing fantastic!

XO,

Danie

Thrifty Thursday Is Getting Personal!

This week while I was thrifting I found these two awesome quarter-zip sweaters! Like I said in my last post, it is already sweater-weather here in Kent, Ohio, so I need as many cute sweaters as possible! I don’t know about all of you but I am a HUGE fan of monograms! I think they are just so cute. Buying monogrammed items on websites such as Marleylilly.com and Etsy.com get really expensive but, if you can thrift the things you want monogrammed it will save you a ton of money!

In Kent, Ohio we have the cutest store downtown called The Dragonfly! They monogram ANYTHING for $5. Yep, you read that correctly, $5!!!! So, I brought my two sweaters to them and picked out my colors for the monograms! I cannot wait to show you all the finished products once I have them. They are going to take a little under a week to be finished, which if you ordered something like this online it could take up to a month to get to you.

My monogram is DMR (My full name is Danie Rylee Minor), and I know a lot of people ask me why the M is in the middle. For a women’s monogram the first initial of your last name is always bigger and set in the middle because it is thought of as the most important name because it is your family name! For the grey sweater I decided to go with a vibrant pink monogram and for the pink sweater I decided to get a gold one that says ΧΩ and underneath of it in white it says Lambda Delta because that is my chapter’s name! I am thrilled about my two sweaters and if you live near Kent, Ohio and are looking for a cute gift for someone, or something cute for yourself you should definitely visit The Dragonfly!

The cost of both of my items including the monogram is $18! For most places online you cannot get anything monogrammed for under $30. So, remember to THRIFT THRIFT THRIFT!

I was featured on Marley Lilly’s Instagram!

Today, I was so excited to look down on my phone and see that I was tagged in a photo by Marley Lilly ! I was so overwhelmed with joy! I personally love this photo. I think it’s because of a combination of this beautiful ring that I purchased from Marley Lilly about a month ago with my nails! I was so in love with the pineapple. In this photo it says that the photo only has 25 likes but, I just checked and it is now at over 3,600 likes! HOW EXCITING, RIGHT? 

I think this ring pairs perfectly with any outfit, dressy or casual! I get so many compliments on this ring. I am going to be purchasing one in silver too so I have one to match every outfit! If you’re interested in this specific ring style, it is called the “Taylor” ring. If anyone purchases this ring, please post it and tag me in it, whether it is on Instagram or Twitter, you can do both at @Danieminor13.  

I hope everyone is having a nice end to their summer and a smooth start to their school year! Check out this week’s Thrifty Thursday for a fun post on how I am thrifting items for my new apartment-style-dorm! 

XO,

Danie 🙂
