This week's Thrift Style Thursday theme is brought to you by the lovely Megan of Eclecticity. Now, I've never (as far as I can remember) worn all white, especially so in winter, so this theme was a challenge and kinda perfect to get me thinking about my wardrobe differently :) Props, Megan!
//Scarf: thrifted $4, sweater: thrifted $3, skirt: Anthropologie [free], boots: thrifted/mended $9, earrings: clearance $2.50, rings: thrifted/found $4, necklace: thrifted $10. Total outfit cost: $32.50//
I put together this look after first considering white jeans as my base...but I figured that'd be way too comfortable ;) so instead I pulled out this white skirt I just got from Anthropologie. It was a sale item and priced at $9.95...and I paid with a gift card I'd won. So, yeah, free!!!! It doesn't immediately say "winter" to me, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the look, but I'm not mad at it ;).
My knit top and knit scarf are similar shades of cream/ivory. I definitely like the idea of mixing up shades of white, off-white, ivory, etc, but again it's outside my comfort zone. I think it works, but I'm just not used to seeing it on me.
My boots are the thrifted and re-soled pair I posted about here. My necklace and the rings I'm wearing (hmm, didn't get a close up of those rings) were also thrifted/found, and the earrings were bought on clearance.
I have a sneaky hope that the scarf was homemade (its cooler that way), and it is so snuggly soft and pretty. I love the detail that it adds, and I can't get over this necklace!
Here's a closer look at the detail on the skirt...sooooo pretty and I cannot wait to wear it weekly when spring comes! Definitely such a great addition to my wardrobe!
What would you put together for an all-white outfit? Make sure not to miss out on all of the other Thrift Style Thursday ladies' looks!
The scarf definitely looks like it could've been hand-knitted. You never know! And I'm loving the lacy skirt - not traditional winter-y, but it works!
ReplyDeleteTotally called it crocheted when it is clearly knit! Oops ;) The skirt is my favorite recent find :)
DeleteI love that line, "but I'm not mad at it" haha! I love this skirt, it is absolutely beautiful! And I think the styling is perfect, too! I am absolutely in love with that necklace you thrifted ever since you posted about it on instagram (i.e. yesterday haha)!! It is so fun to see what everyone has come up with for today's theme - love it!! :)
ReplyDeletehaha, I love that you're in love with the necklace I posted...yesterday ;) I'm obsessed too! Definitely a score.
DeleteAndrea! This is spectacular! The detailing of the skirt is just incredible! I cannot wait to see how you style it again for the spring. :) I also agree with Kristi - that necklace is an awesome thrift find. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Brittany! Both the skirt and the necklace were amazing finds, right? Feeling lucky ;) Thanks for the love!
DeleteI love the mix of white and cream here! So soft and lovely, the skirt is gorgeous! I really love how this whole look came together for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I am growing accustomed to the combo myself ;) Again, totally loved your look for today!
DeleteI can't believe that skirt was so inexpensive (well, free), it's BEAUTIFUL!! I don't think I've ever worn all white either, but your interpretation is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTotally got lucky with the skirt as it originally retailed for $168!!!
DeleteI wouldn't have anticipated it, but this combination looks really nice together! It's good to shake up old preconceived ideas!
ReplyDeleteWhat would I wear for an all white outfit? It would be indecent, because all I have is a white T-shirt - ha ha ... I've never had piles of clothing - not because I aim for minimalism but because my body is hard to dress and I don't like shopping. But the more I read about how other people put outfits together, the more my mind is expanding on the topic.
Unfortunately, hard-to-dress bodies require extra effort...but it's not an impossible task! Keep at it, and keep exploring :)
