ThriftStyleThursday: Scarves

Just a quick post today with my outfit for Thrift Style Thursday featuring my favorite fall accessory...scarves!

It's a rainy day, so of course I'm wearing my floral rain boots (DSW 3 years back), and to go along with it a thrifted t-shirt, thrifted oversized cardigan, my free trench (traded with a friend), my favorite thrifted purse, and my newly thrifted $3 scarf/cowl!

It's kinda perfect...cozy and soft, striped, and with the bits of pink and chartreuse it matches not only my floral rain boots, but also my chartreuse wool coat that I'll be wearing soon as the temperatures are starting to drop (also thrifted).

didn't crop out my nose cause I thought it was funny ;)

Here's to hoping I get back on track with sewing, refashioning and posting sometime soon! Go check out the other's that have posted their outfits over at Thrift Style Thursday! Thanks for stopping by...

Peace,

ThriftStyleThursday: Pinspired

This #ThriftStyleThursday post features outfits inspired by ensembles found on Pinterest. I decided to create a couple of looks, as I couldn't decide between two. The first is more of a 'match', where I tried to imitate the specifics of the 'pinspired' outfit. I started out with this pin. It's an outfit by Kathleen of & Kathleen (click over to read her post). I tried my hardest to find pieces that were closer to the original outfit, but did the best with what I have...I still want to find a closer match to her look though. It is so cute!

Outfit Details: Scarf - Target; Cardigan - Target; t-shirt - thrifted; belt - thrifted; skirt - thrifted t-shirts refashioned into reversible mini; boot socks - thrifted leggings refashioned to socks; boots - free at a community swap!

This next look is more of a loose interpretation: the pins can be found here and here. Both looks include a floral midi, button-up top, belt, & purse, with either boots or heels.

My outfit details: denim fitted button-up - thrifted; belt - thrifted; skirt - free with purchase of prisms at antique store (it was balled up in a box and the owner threw it in for nothing!); boots - thrifted; purse - thrifted.

I love the navy base to this outfit and the rich cognacs, reds, pinks, and greens that accent in the skirt and boots/belt.

Now, check out the other Thrift Style Thursday bloggers who've created their own 'Pinspired' looks!

Thrift Style Thursday: Sporty Chic

I've joined a group of super rad thrifting fashionistas and will be posting thrifted outfits following certain weekly themes every Thursday. Thrift Style Thursday! You can check out our Facebook page here or follow the links at the end of this post to check out the other members' posts. This week's theme is Sporty Chic. I can definitely handle that! I was a pretty 'sporty' dresser for many years as it was comfortable and fit my tomboy personality. I did eventually discover my girly side, and that's where the chic side of this look comes from :).

I started off with this oversized white blouse that I thrifted last year. Underneath I have a simple black tank top from Wal-Mart. My exercise leggings are also thrifted, and I wear them more often in my everyday outfits than for actual exercise...I have other leggings for that ;). My gold bangles are thrifted and my other jewelry is from Forever 21. My shoes (and socks) are from Marshall's. All in all, a sporty chic, mostly thrifted outfit that cost under $40 (the shoes being the most expensive on clearance for $20)! I love how comfortable this is, yet put together as well. I wore this on my bike ride to pick my son up from school, playing in the park after, and doing chores around the house. Oh, and the ponytail totally fits in, too!
