The Hunt

Since today was the first day... 
I of course wore something I had planned to pack. 
(obviously I needed something to wear to thrift in... No shoes, No shirt, No service)

Today  we went thrift shopping at Goodwill, not the biggest haul but definitely some cool pieces!

We will be making another thrift stops on Monday
 for now I have enough to make ~3 outfits :)

Remember this skirt?? I wore it as a dress here!
I paired it with a shirt found at a Swap Meet & some T.J Max Clearance Shoes :)

Paisley Paradise

This week is going to be hectic for me so I wanted to give you a fashion packed post today!
(because I may not post again for a few days.. maybe next Monday)

Style Tip: If the dress is long, make them shoes high! 

Skirt (made dress): BP Nordstrom Clearance $15
Vest: Target Super Clearance $3 (twas a XL)




Wedges: Love Culture ~$17


Elephant Necklace: Plato's Closet $8
Belt: Thrifted (used a plenty in past posts)





 Further exploration into my 'fashion tip'
The reason I say long dress = high shoes is because {being 5'2} when skirts, dresses, shorts etc. go past your knee you start to look very scrunched and overtaken by the item. 

Don't let your clothes wear you -- show them who is boss and work together :)

-x-x-x-
I absolutely love this outfit it is a go-to when I need to be semi-casual/dressy. 

Ps: can you imagine how long of a skirt this would have been on me! 
When I tried it on at Nordstrom as a dress one of the workers was flabbergasted by the fact that you could wear a skirt as a dress! 
I was taken-aback by the fact that she had never done it before!

Outfit Total: $43
Worn 5+ times
=$8.6 per wear
(it could actually be seen as cheaper considering I wear all the items with various other outfits!)
