//#thriftstylethursday// Winter White-Out


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!




Now, don't feel shy about dropping me a line...I'd love to hear from you!
Peace,
Andrea

  1. 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!

  5. I 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!

  6. I wouldn't have anticipated it, but this combination looks really nice together! It's good to shake up old preconceived ideas!

    What 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.

    1. Unfortunately, hard-to-dress bodies require extra effort...but it's not an impossible task! Keep at it, and keep exploring :)
