10 Scrunchie Styles That Won't Make You Feel Stuck in the 90's
For her post-performance ensemble, Lizzo chose an '80s-tastic purple dress complete with massive, off-the-shoulder puff sleeves, a pleated circle skirt, and a wide V-neck. She basically looked like high school Josie from Never Been Kissed but fashion. What's an '80s-inspired ensemble without a scrunchie?

Oh What Was : The Walkman
Old School
The iPod and MP3 players without a doubt took over for the records, walkman and CD player lovers of the world. No more looking through cassette tapes, or rewinding them back with your finger or pencil to the beginning of whatever song you were obsessed with at the time. However, you can't deny the amazingness and some what nostalgic essence of holding an actual mix tape. Yeah, I miss those days. Tears aside for more information on the Walkman click here :}

Thrifty Dreams came about ( finally, but we’ll get back to that) from my love of travel and finding stylish stuff along the way, pleasuring my never ending passion for both fashion and history. Fashion and history go hand in hand. It’s not just a daily expression of self, but can be viewed as a reflection of the times.
Just seeing how fashion evolves and even repeats itself has always been fascinating to me. Specifically, vintage publications can be intriguing depictions of life as it was during different era’s as well as different lifestyles, fashion and cultures.
I get an immense amount of joy finding preloved vintage goodies, and continuing the life cycle of an otherwise forgotten piece of time. This site gives me a place to curate, chronicle and share my day to day findings and daily inspirations, while always recycling the love of carefully selected thrifty dreams because some things shouldn’t be forgotten.
Stay tuned,
