Happy Friday Guys!
Fridays are so awesome. I don’t know about you but any stresses I have become a little less daunting when I get two extra days to deal with avoid them. I wanted to share an outfit with you that I wore a couple weeks ago for a reception at my school.

Would it surprise you to know that the top and the skirt cost me about $13 (combined that is). The top, which is 100% silk, was another thrifted find and I got it for $6.50. The skirt was on extra clearance at Target and was about $6.50 as well. Here’s to putting a chic look together without having to go broke in the process!

Thrill of the Thrift

April 8, 2016

Few things compare to the thrill of a good thrift find. Insert this 97% wool red Ralph Lauren Blazer with ornate gold buttons that I found at a thrift shop a couple years back. I paid a whopping, wait for it, $10. Crazyyy! Once I saw the price I snatched it up immediately before I could blink and it was gone.

Here’s where the story gets a little sad. This beauty was sitting in my closet for over a year because I couldn’t get my butt to a tailor. I finally said enough was enough and took it in October of last year.

After a few tries (I meant it when I said “snug”), it was perfect. I’m in love. This will be in my closet for a long time (read: forever).
