Thriftfanatic of the Week & Thrifty Thursdays Link-up

**A special thanks to those of you who linked up! It was fun seeing all of your thrift finds and difficult to narrow it down to my pick of the week. **

Bridgette from Bridgette Nicole thrifted this adorable Ralph Lauren American flag sweater. I'm all about thrifting expensive name brands for a steal! I love how she styled it, you will have to go to her cute blog to see the rest of her outfit and details. I'm also jealous of her long pretty locks, I regret cutting mine after my wedding!

I wanted to clarify a few things that some readers have been asking me over the last few weeks. The items in your post DON'T have to be from a thrift store. If you scored something from the Target clearance rack and would like to share, you are more than welcomed to link up. Being thrifty doesn't always mean it comes from a thrift store (: Also your item(s) can be anything; clothes, books, home decor, etc.
