It's true. I'd rather be doing this any day of the week! Lately I have found some really great things. It's always nice to be able to switch out a few things for some new to me thrifted items. I have bee working on ways in which I can wear a few summer things in Fall and Winter and I think I have it nailed! I have a basic black spaghetti strap dress and basic black strapless dress. Both cotton. When the weather gets cooler, I tend to stay away from arm bearing items. I have found that by wearing a blouse over these items and tying it in the center, I end up with a more polished work look that's perfect for the cooling temperatures.
Sort of like this cute gal
I liked this look SO much, that I went out and thrifted 4 more blouse to wear with the two dresses.
I got a polka dot one, a striped one, a sheer floral and a navy one. I believe they were only 4.00 each although 2 were half off so I got all 4 for 12.00! The skirt on both my dress is A LINE like in the photo above and with tights it's sure to look great!
I thought I would post some of my recent finds for some inspiration:
Vtg Halter Tiki Dress
This was all wrinkled up and even though it was made in the
1980's, I felt it had a more retro vibe about it.
Vtg Red and White Polka Dot Blouse
This also is an 80's piece with a much more
Mad Men vibe. I love that it has bow accents
and the color is wonderful for Christmas!
Vtg Red and White Print Dress
Once again, probably 80's. I saw the potential and
slapped a mini petti underneath.
Modern Dress
This sweet dress had the BEST print. I loved the Fall color of it
It is non vintage but I think it's super cute!
Modern R&K Originals Dress
I love when I find vintage or non vintage R&K.
The florals and polka dots are soooo sweet.
I can wear this with a little sweater on date night!
Modern Denim Look Dress
This one may have to wait til next summer!
I had all the accessories at home already and had fun playing dress up.
These are just some of the gems I scored recently. Stay tuned for more
as I am planning a thrift stop right after work today!
If I find some real great things I just may do another post!
