// #thriftstylethursday // Bonfires & S'mores

Oh how I wish I were going to a bonfire tonight...or any night! S'mores are the only way I eat marshmallows and boy do they sound good. Beth of The Beth Next Door invited us all to a virtual bonfire, however, and asked what we'd be wearing. I pulled together some recently thrifted pieces for a comfy, casual, but totally cute look for a get together. 

I started with this gray and white polka dot top that I got from ThredUp with some credit I'd accrued from clothes I sent in. It's easy, oversized, and gray...perfect. The olive pants are a long-time resident on my 'thrifting list' and I finally found them! Obviously ;) They fit great and don't require any alterations, which makes them almost perfect. I just wish they had cargo pockets and zips...maybe I'll keep that on my list.

The moccasins are a much older score (maybe 5 years old?) and I picked them up on a visit home when my sis and I went thrifting (as we ALWAYS do).

Now, the star of today's outfit is this mustard Sparrow cardigan from Anthropologie. I thrifted it a couple of weeks ago, Instagrammed it yesterday, and yes am wearing it again today for this look! It's the perfect piece to throw on to cozy up next to a blazing fire on a chilly night.

Throw in my typical side braid (best friend to the gal who doesn't want to do anything with her hair), and you are ready to go...

Well, minus a few graham crackers, bars of chocolate and bags of marshmallows :)

Now go see what the other ladies will be wearing!

// #thriftstylethursday // It's My Party

This week I am back on track with Thrift Style Thursday! Carissa of Carissa Knits is hosting and guess what!?! It's her birthday (so be sure to pop over if only to say hi! and to check out her look) so we're all wearing something we'd wear to her party! If only we were within a reasonable distance to attend said party... ;)

I decided I'd pull out a couple of pieces scored within the past two months but never yet worn...these Pilcro flares from Anthropologie that I picked up for under $20!!!!! ( I know right?!?!) and this pretty sheer blouse that I found while in Michigan for $3.50. 

Now I've been wanting to wear these jeans from the moment I got them, but I actually need to hem them a smidge so I can wear them with my favorite thrifted boots. However, these pale gold thrifted heels are just high enough, and if I'm going to a party, the heels are coming out.

To add a little more bling, I wore my favorite thrifted necklace with reversible pendant, and a bangle from my grandma's collection.

 Here's a closer look at the entire look...

plus all the pretty details!

Hop on over to see what all the other ladies are wearing and remember to wish Carissa a Happy Happy Birthday!

MIA

I've been MIA around here for quite some time, and posting will continue to be spotty. We are going through a major move and that means everything is packed away and I'm doing little/no sewing or creating. I'm still doing some outfit posts over on my Instagram account @little_didyouknow if you'd like to follow along! I hope you are well, I promise I'll be back, but it may not be for another month. I'll check in now and then with a quick post just to say hello 😊. I guess the only updates I can give is that I'm taking part in @houseofpinheiro's #sewphotohop challenge this month on Instagram, and I hope to sew along with @portialawrie's The Refashioners 2015 Get Shirty challenge! We shall see...

Peace,

Andrea
