Heel Yes!

I need a bigger closet. Do you think my husband is reading this? His honey-do list is constantly growing thanks to me. I just see so many pretty things that need to come home with me!

Check out these Halogen heels I found for $7.96 last week. Those stripes! That floral heel! ? I almost passed them up but decided to try them on anyway, despite being a half size small. I’m so glad I did.

I love prints and just knew these needed to be worn with something classic yet bold.

Something like….this! I wore this top a few posts ago, but it looks a lot different with lime green ? This is one my favorite #ootd looks (that’s “outfit of the day” for you non-hashtaggers) of all time! I can’t wait to pair these heels with some other stuff. You know I’ll share!

How to Inherit Good Jeans!

Living in St. Pete comes with some pretty sweet perks: loads of sunshine, tons of festivals to choose from, and lots to appease your palette! Let’s talk about a typical date night outfit…

These are my FAVORITE jeans…ever. It’s true. They’re the perfect pair of Levi’s and I paid $6.98 for them and have worn them fifty bajillion times since I got them. In fact, I’m wearing them as I type this too!

I love looking for jeans at Goodwill because they literally have almost every brand, every style, and every cut–you can try on everything until you figure out what fits your body type best.

The top is a little Target t-shirt I found for $4.28–nothing fancy, but it pairs well with a lot of different things. The sweater–New York & Company, and so old it came from a pre-thrifting era. My favorite Target brand blazer making an appearance again. Dressed up or down, it’s a winner! The Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes were a bought secondhand from an online vendor. You can never say I wasn’t good at matching…

I’ve made it by the new Goodwill twice but haven’t found any goodies yet. I need to wake up earlier! I have a few new fun things to show you from the Central and Gandy locations, though.

Happy Hunting!

That 70s Thrifter!

I took a quick trip back to the 70s this week but sadly didn’t get to be in any cheesy movie montages.

This is a silk e.c.i. top I refuse to get rid of that I found at the Oldsmar Goodwill years ago. It reminds me of a koi fish! Over it I’m wearing a Merona (Target’s old brand) sweater and a brown pair of Caché “boutique” brand pants for $6.98. The shoes were a gift from a generous friend cleaning out her closet and I love them! Anne Taylor had some great shoes for work, in my opinion.

I’m going to swing by the BRAND NEW Goodwill in St. Pete this weekend! I can’t wait to see all the goodies inside and I know you can’t wait for me to share! If you haven’t heard, the new store is at 2550 34th St. North. Come thrift with me!

Fashionable Friday!

IT’S FRIDAY!

My Friday looks tend to be a little more casual, which I sometimes interpret as FUN. (Let’s be real, I try to have fun all the time ;) )

I love the chilly weather! Let’s celebrate the few times we get to pull out the scarves and boots.

These are charcoal New York & Co. pants I’ve had forever but of course found at Goodwill for around $5, paired with a “boutique” White House Black Market top I splurged on for a few dollars more than normal. I love this top, but I totally understand why it was at Goodwill. It has both brown tones and black tones and it can be hard to match…so I wear it with charcoal! Pay attention to these things when you’re shopping!

And hey…remember this jacket? Here it is getting some more use! Side note: I need a floor length mirror. Keep your eyes peeled at Goodwill for me!

I can see the weekend from here!
