// #thriftstylethursday // Luck of the Irish

We're celebrating St. Patrick's Day with the theme Luck of the Irish for this week's Thrift Style Thursday post. Thank you Beth of Bethie the Boo for picking my favorite color :). Though, for being my favorite color, green probably features less than other colors in my wardrobe. I've been on a big blue kick lately. Anywho, back to the green!

I picked one of my fav (and one of yours as well based on post views) thrifted refashion projects. The Green Granny Silk blouse I made over earlier last year. It's easy and a little oversized and flowy...perfect kind of silk blouse, in my opinion. I chose a pair of skinny gray cords I bought on clearance that have fun zipper details at the hip and ankle.


Then, I figured that even though I'm just kicking around the apartment today cursing the weather that calls for more snow tomorrow, I may as well accessorize a tiny bit, and picked out a pair of earrings that were a gift from my husband purchased from a local maker, and a pair of thrifted moccasins.


I think the earrings definitely bring it up a notch ;).


For my actual St. Patty's Day outfit, I only went with a small touch of green in the form of my doily diy shoe makeover found here.



The shoes along with a comfy chambray, white tank and thrifted skinny jeans seemed like just enough of a good thing.


Now go over and check out all the green-inspired thrifted fashions the ladies came up with!





Peace,
Andrea

      Thanks Kristi :) Those mocs are my favorite comfy shoe find! And I've had them a few years so I'm hoping to make them last a few more.

    Andrea, you have beautiful hair! I wish mine was that beautiful when it is long. Do you use a curling iron or a curling wand? I really like the doily shoes, too. They are so creative and cute!

      Thank you :) :) :) It's funny because my boss at work complimented me the day before, and this was the third day after I'd originally curled it! I just use a regular curling iron and no product. It loosens a tiny bit each day and I can rock it for three days before I need to pull it up in a bun, ponytail or wash it ;) Glad you like the shoes!

    The silk blouse and doily shoes are both fantastic refashions! I've been on the lookout for a pair of shoes to add lace to since I saw your original post on those. Also, those earrings are gorgeous! Hubby did well!

      Yay! So glad you like the shoes! And the outfit for me was also just right...not a big fan of overdoing it on holiday wear ;)

    Both outfits are great - I agree with the concept of a touch o' green :) Beautiful earrings.
