About

 Hi, I’m Erin; a Chicagoan, a recent college graduate, a creative writer, a thrift store enthusiast, a vintage home decor junkie, and an estate sale shopping 22-year-old. Outside of Thrifty Chi, my writing can be found on UpChicago.com, Chicago Now‘s Sugar Buzz Blog, and in Hair Trigger 33.

 Thrifty Chi was inspired by my love for treasure hunting and features secondhand shopping and retro related tips, tricks, how-to’s, and info. Ultimately, my goal is to showcase how affordable and fun buying local and secondhand can be. Eventually, I’d like to reach as wide an audience as possible and turn Thrify Chi into a weekly print column or podcast.

Thanks for checking Thrifty Chi out and feel free to contact me at thriftychi@gmail.com with any comments or suggestions!
