Thrifted & Chic for $5

🕯️✨Thrifted & Chic for $5?! Yes, please!

These spiral pillar candles were just $3 each at Dollar Tree, and I scored the vintage candle holders for $2 each at my local thrift store 🛍️ That’s a full high-end candle setup for under $10 🙌🏽

Decor doesn’t have to be expensive to look luxe. A little creativity + a good eye goes a long way 💫

Soft Blue Set, But Make It Thrifted Chic
Saw this clean blue active set and knew I could recreate it for less 🤍 Instead of going full monochrome, I softened the look with a tie-dye legging moment + a cozy neutral sweatshirt to balance it out. It still gives that “put together athleisure” energy… just with a little more personality.
