// #thriftstylethursday // Au Natural

This week's Thrift Style Thursday theme is Au Natural brought to us by Kristi of Delightfully Kristi. And I struggled with it! She said to choose your favorite earthy tones and I just wasn't liking what I was putting together...until I saw this dress! I'd had it packed away for the winter, but my husband needed a suitcase for a conference and had dumped (not really dumped...stacked neatly on the bed) my things out. Thank goodness, because I was ready to give up! 


I paired it with a pair of leather heeled boots, a wooden bead necklace, a wooden bangle, and my antique store engagement/wedding ring.


Then I decided that because it's definitely still coolish weather, I'd add in a bit of color with this forest green casual jacket. And now I could be a tree! ;)


The dress is H&M (thrifted), the boots are some italian leather make that I thrifted, the bangle is thrifted, the necklace is salvaged from an old dress, and the jacket was purchased a few years back at Marshall's or TJMaxx. I actually love how this look turned out and wish I had a date night coming up and warm enough evening weather to wear it! It'll do with my more casual riding boots, and warmer jacket and some shopping totes for today because I wanna go thrifting!

Now, head on over to each of the other ladies' blogs by clicking on their pictures to see what they came up with for this week's theme :) And there's still time to enter our TST Giveaway by clicking over to this post.





Peace,
Andrea

    I love this look! The dress is so pretty, I love the earth tones in it and I love it paired with the green jacket! And I'm with you, I haven't been thrifting in a little bit and I've got the bug to go!

    I really like how you took that thrifted dress! I have one that's very similar (thrifted too!) in brown that I adore! I pull it out whenever I need a go-to dress!

      Thanks, Carissa, it hasn't gotten enough wear for me having owned it for almost 5 years...sometimes it takes a while for me to really like something :)

    These colours look really nice on you. On some people they'd be drab, but not on you. I think they kind of carry through the colour of your hair, maybe? Nice look, anyhow!

      Thank you! I've always loved my hair color and now that it's turning gray I'm hoping to allow it to go naturally...don't like the idea of dyeing my hair and not getting the exact shade it is now ;)

      Thanks :) Yeah, I was kinda stumped at first. Sometimes an outfit looks awesome in my head but not so much in person! lol
