The Frugal Wench Urge to Go On Vacation for a Jacket
It’s still January and somehow it feels like I’m running out of time It was cold for approximately 37 days in a row in San Diego this winter, meaning the temperature stayed below 70 degrees. It’s been six years since our city has been that chilled, but we can count our lucky stars we didn’t…
The Skinny Scarf
Some like to call it Spring but I prefer: Skinny Scarf Season. A skinny scarf is like a jean vest, absolutely no warmth provided, simply vibes. The art of the skinny scarf is making a comeback like most 2000s era trends and yet again, we choose to embrace. I believe a skinny scarf can elevate…
New Year, New Something
We are two weeks into 2021 and honestly, in my heart of hearts, I can’t say I feel much different. But I am more than ready for something new. Of course Audrey and I have set our new year’s resolutions and goals for the coming 12 months. I look forward to them every year. But…
Remember That Road Trip?
The Frugal Wench Guide to the California Coast There is one very large exception to us being Frugal Wenches: vacation. More specifically, food on vacation. Even though we were both extremely tight on pocket money after spending nearly every cent to our name in the month of September (birthday month babyyy), we decided to go…
A Written “What I Would Wear If I Was In” Tik Tok
Should we make the Tik Tok? Should we? Anyway, even if we don’t, we have a Tik Tok. Follow us @Frugalwench. Audrey and I draw a lot of style inspiration from our favorite characters in books, movies, and TV shows, but there are a few we have actually been able to emulate. Here is a…
MONOCHROME MONDAY
Without a doubt, color is one of the biggest staples of our wardrobes. We like it bright, we like it loud, and we like it all over. With that in mind, we’ve decided to start a new segment: Monochrome Monday. There’s something special about layering pieces of the same color, on one top of another.…
Outdoors in Quarantine
We posted on Instagram a few months ago talking about how being stuck at home during quarantine inspired us to actually start our blog, but it also gave us time to take a meaningful look at our closets. From that go-through, we planned some really great stuff. What we didn’t plan on, was still being…
How We Thrift!
Thrifting is a mix of things, dedication and luck. My friends often get frustrated when my only answer to “Where did you get that?!” is, “A thrift store!” and I totally get it. When I hear that response from someone that I ask, I know it’s nearly impossible to get myself because this person bought…
The Perfect Denim Shorts
Summer cannot be considered summer without the perfect pair of jean shorts. I found these amazing cutoffs at Captain’s Helm, a local vintage shop, and they have been my go-to’s since. They are probably 2 sizes too big for me, but they hang on my hips just right. Don’t be afraid to size up and…
Brown Suede Jacket
I found this brown, genuine leather, suede Michael Kors jacket at Goodwill in a phase obsessed with finding cool jackets and it has since become one of my favorite thrifted pieces. I think I paid $38 for it, which honestly feels expensive in Goodwill terms but really a steal in real life terms. It has…
Strike While the Price is Right
– How We Shop A Sale – If there’s one thing we know about shopping a sale, it’s that our most successful retail deals are the fruition of an intense game of chicken between consumer and retailer. Me, the consumer, waiting semi-patiently on the tracks for the price to drop and the retailer enticing me…
The Long Game
– The Waiting Game That is Shopping Like a Frugal Wench – To shop like a frugal wench, one must channel the patience of a fashion saint. There are plenty of things to wait for as a shopper, especially if, like us, you’re picky. As a not-so-patient person, this has been a skill slowly cultivated. …
Welcome to Frugal Wench!

We both love fashion- somewhat proven by our countless shopping trips, following of other fashion and lifestyle blogs, and subscriptions to Vogue magazine. We both love photography- if only shown through our personal instagram…
