Hello to all my future readers:
As a social experiment of my own in order to address "going green," I have decided to only shop secondhand for the next year (except for shoes because like all other girls, shoes are my weakness...and yes, I will seek professional help). Not only is shopping secondhand economical, I find it challenging, exciting, and overall more fun than simply going to the mall down the street. The thrills of not knowing what I'll find and the highs of scoring big (think designer vintage for a few dollars) have turned me into a thrift store junkie.
With the economy as it is, I figure many others are in need of saving a few extra bucks. So as my contribution to society, I will document and share my goodwill hunting experiences for the benefit of others.
Warning: though I will be giving "advice" on how to shopfrugality (yes, I made up this term...frugality is just so much more fun to say than frugally) there are no rules to shopping thrift. Simply start digging.
*UPDATE: The more I work with this blog, the more I realize shopfrugality is a lifestyle. Therefore, though fashion remains the main focus, I will periodically include posts relating to sustainability and social justice issues (it seems that my favorite thift stores all have GREAT causes). I promise never to push my views on others, simply supply all the options in my power for people to make informed decisions...that's shopfrugality.

Oh boy, this is exciting! Good luck!!
oh boy! it sure is! THANKS!
very interesting concept. love the made up word.
reminds me of the 100 possession challenge and the like. i hope this gets huge coverage and can fund your shoe fund.
perhaps i'll check in to see the meaning you find.
or perhaps not as the meaning we find is
different for each soul right? and further, the meaning i have found and will continue to seek and find will shed like leaves in autumn as i sit amidst a bamboo forest gazing out from TIME or however the seasons see fit as they change.
fond wishes...
