Pardon My Thrift is a lifestyle blog created by Renata Romero and Lacey Hutchison, and focuses primarily on the thing we both do best – thrifting!

We both grew up shopping secondhand, and were expert thrifters by the time we met in college, where our mutual love of frugal fashion brought us together.

We have recently and increasingly been fielding fashion questions from friends and strangers on a regular basis: Where did you get those? How did you come up with that? It only cost HOW much??

More often than not, we find ourselves apologizing for our great finds – whether for the amazing price, the one-of-a-kind-ness, or just for our unabashed love of the hunt. We started this blog to share our tips, tricks and finds, in the hopes that others may benefit from our years of experience. Consider this one big apology for being so good at what we do!

Part lookbook, part shopping guide, part design resource, this blog encompasses everything we love. What may have embarrassed us back in high school has suddenly made us stand out as cool cats, and we couldn’t be happier to share our experiences with you!
