23: Bring Joy Into Your Wardrobe With Thrifted Treasures With @heyallie.xo
“I like to be in tune with the ‘Thrift Gods’ and the ‘Thrift Universe.’ If it’s meant for me, it will be there when I get back.”
Hey Allie was born by what one would call a happy accident. While at her corporate job in commercial real estate, Allie was dreaming up a way to jump back into her creative outlet. Naturally she was searching available domain names that could have a zippy little ring to them. Hey Allie was available and the rest is history! She started her first thrift shop fashion blog, “Three Dollar Fashion” at her dinner table when she was just 14 because she wanted to combine her love of writing and thrifting (which was NOT trendy when she was in high school). Her style is without a doubt “Minnie Mouse goes to a decades themed NYE party.” In other words, she loves polka dots, color, sparkle, and unique vintage pieces! In her free time Allie is either thrifting or creating something. Making jewelry, drawing, painting, sewing, or even photographing weddings!
