Hello, I'm Ariel, and I should have introduced myself before I started posting to forums, but I didn't know that was allowed. XD

I just now saw another person post a thread to introduce herself and realized that was okay. I thought we were supposed to keep that in the thread for identifying ourselves ... I'm always so afraid of posting things in forums in places they don't go ... But I wanted to post a Hello I'm Ariel thread because I feel like the conversations I've posted in have made people sort of look at me like ... Who are you?

I'm 24, and I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I am a professional, so I need business casual. I have a very low-key social life, so I'm not the type to need cocktail dresses (Which doesn't stop me. I have two. I've worn them both several times, though, mostly on cruises with my family XD).

I generally shop on a tight budget because I'm young and not making a ton of money, but I can afford a splurge item here and there.

I am a huge proponent of thrift stores. I just cleaned out my closet and discovered that most of my favorite items are from thrift stores. I also love Etsy, because I can't find any good brick and mortar vintage places down here.

I'm not at any big turning point in my style right now. I just love fashion and have almost all guy friends so I've got no one to talk about it with. So here I am
