Spring has sprung and if your anything like me you’re looking in that closet and needing a little inspiration. If your wardrobe needs a revamp, our college budget can leave us with few options to add the much needed excitement. Get creative, find your favorite thrift store and hunt out that hidden “it” dress or pair of great heels. This not only leaves us with more money in our pocket, but adds a little something that is yours and yours alone.
 
Denver houses great thrifting and Boulder has a little culture of its own. Scope it out and think of it as your own personal treasure hunt, you may just find your favorite new outfit and hey, it’s the cheapest way to add the bold and mod inspired colors we’re finding on the runways this spring.

Kristie Dunnigan
Kristie Dunnigan is a junior studying business marketing at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She was born in Montana and later moved to the beautiful state of Colorado. Country girl at heart yearning for a big city life, she recently spent 3 months living in NYC interning for Oscar de la Renta as an international and domestic sales intern (and has spent everyday since trying to figure out how to get back to that concrete jungle). It's that city strut and over the top street style fashion that this girl cannot get enough of. She is Vice President of the American Marketing Association Chapter at Boulder, and is currently interning at shopgoldyn.com to fulfill creative needs. When she isn't snowboarding, blogging, or enjoying the amazing friends and family that fill her days, you will probably find this old soul buried in a thrift store or nearest local flea market over indulging in the good life.

Even though her passion is in Advertising, Journalism has always been a close second, which is why she is stoked to be a part of Her Campus! Originally from St. Louis, MO, she calls Boulder her home away from home. She is a part of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and is also employed at American Apparel. When she is not working or studying, she loves to run around her favorite trails in Boulder, stalk music blogs, and put her foodie-ness to the test at new restaurants.
