Posted on by

I know I haven’t done a fashion post for awhile, so here it goes! I really liked the funky outfit I put together last night so I’ll share it with you.

I always like to prove you can do almost all your shopping from the thrift store and look great, so here is what I wore last night, with descriptions and prices on everything…

I love a little pop of color when wearing neutrals! It makes the outfit.

From Top to Bottom:

The long-sleeve square-neck black top is by “Velvet”, Goodwill $3.99, purchased this Summer.

Faux Fur Vest by Charlotte Ruse, also from Goodwill, $6.99, purchased last Fall.

DIY Black Heart Necklace (see it HERE) Created February this year.

Leopard-print brushed cotton jeans by Jones New York, Goodwill $8.99. Purchased last year.

HYPE black and gold clutch, Neiman Marcus Last Call, $38 (Originally about $200) purchased about 6 years ago. (this bag was a splurge for me, but I actually use it a ton.)

Costa Blanca Hot Pink satin ankle boots, Neiman Marcus Last Call $18. (originally over $100) purchased about 7 years ago.

Bracelet, Goodwill, $2.99, purchased a couple months ago.

 

So there you have it, more great looks from your neighborhood thrift store. What have you found lately? I’d love to hear about it.

It’s Time For…FIND OF THE WEEK!

Another great week for thrifting. I ran out in the rain for a run to my fav Goodwill this afternoon, and what did I find? A FABULOUS Tiffany and Co. Silver Necklace! I paid $50 for it, a serious bargain. I’ll be honest, I already have a nice silver Tiffany & Co. necklace, so I’ll be selling this one on Ebay to help pay for the other goodies I find for my closet* (actually no I won’t, see the Follow Up below)

And…2 adorable pairs of near new Hype wedges, $11.99 for the leather with red bits ones and $6.40 for the green ones.

So go thrifting and find your treasures! What did YOU find out there this week? Please share your finds in the comments section.

FOLLOW UP: OK, it turns out the Tiffany necklace was a fake reproduction. Sigh. Yes, even yours truly can be fooled! It IS solid silver, but not Tiffany. Ebay has great guides to identify fakes and repros, the one for Tiffany is here:
