My Thrift Style





Isn't this dress the best color!? With the temperatures still humid and summer like, I am wearing my summer dresses right to the end of it and probably into the fall by just adding a cardigan or jacket.
 I hate to see the end of summer. 
Don't get me wrong... I love fall and I love the clothes that go with it...tweeds, cozy knits, jeans and boots...but who wants to be sweating like a pig, all for fashions sake? Not this chick. I will have all winter long to wear my boots and beautiful coats and scarves but for now, I will enjoy bare legs and summery dresses.




I can't quite remember when I thrifted this JCrew dress but it was probably last winter some time. That's the key to thrifting...buy out of season. Shorts in the winter and heavy sweaters in the middle of the sweltering summer.  Always shop for the next season. 
I love everything about this dress, the color, the linen fabric, and the style. The shoes are Rouge which I have never heard of but the snakeskin patttern on them is great because they go with everything! I have worn them before here. So there you have it...another full outfit thrifted for under $10! THAT...my friends is a great feeling!

  1. Love it! the color is so cheery, you will brighten even the darkest day.

    Winter here in Texas is different, we wear the same silhouettes in dark colors. The average winter low temp. is only in the 40's, I miss the coziness of winter clothes!

  3. Yes! So cute and the snake skin shoes!!! I love snake skin shoes, can we have them in every style? I'm also jealous that you can wear yellow. It's such a happy color but makes me look sick.

    1. I still can't believe that I found those shoes! There are some greens that I can't wear...and when I do my mom tells me to throw that garment out pronto!
