Thrift fashions on the money during recession
By Lisa France
... Nicole Mladic is the "babe" behind the "Budgeting Babe" blog for "young, working women who want to spend like Carrie in a Jimmy Choo store but have a budget closer to Roseanne."
Mladic said she encourages her readers to not only shop thrift, but also to be generous in their giving.
"I make sure to thin out my wardrobe every so often," she said. "Any pieces that I am not wearing, I donate."
That type of generosity is much appreciated, especially in the current economy...

Congratulations. It's always fun to see your name in print, get a little recognition - especially when you are doing something for the fun of it (like your blog).
How cool! Congrats! :-)
Me too! I do quarterly clothing swaps w/ a group of girls - it's like shopping...FOR FREE!
ps - i heart you blog. thank you.
Not all women want to "spend like carrie in a jimmy choo store". What a sweeping generalisation that is derogatory to women.
You have been brainwashed - why does every female want or try to emulate SATC - its FICTION, WAKE UP.
Your not a role model, your a sheep. Please go away and get some wisdom. Then come back and try again.
I think that's fantastic! My wife and I have been avid thrift shoppers for years. Not only is it insurance for your wallet, it's great for the environment, too. You're not consuming new! And, it leads to less waste. We also donate regularly. I think that's very important, too.

Congrats on being in the news! Glad to see PF bloggers getting recognition as your blog and others have helped me get and stay out of debt. Well done.
Incredible, congrats!!! I hope you get mad traffic and more people checking out your awesomeness ;) happy friday!
Wow, Rachel obviously has not read enough of your blog to have a valid opinion. Everyone else understands that you're writing a blog to help the average younger generation take control of their finances. I really appreciate everything you do. Thank you and congratulations!
I think Rachel is the one that needs to go away - if she doesn't like what she's reading, then she doesn't have to stay & read it! (Rachel also needs to go back to school & learn how to spell...apostrophes, hello! Ever heard of them?!)
Ignore the naysayers and keep writing! Congrats for the recognition!
Please write more often!
Thanks all! (Well, everyone except Rachel.) Writing now... it's been a busy week :)
I saw the clip on CCN. Congratulations. I think you have a great blog. I love fashion and finance. Keep up the great work.
