Somehow my thrift list has recently exploded even though I thought I had a pretty solid handle on my cold weather styling revamp. I think it’s because I’ve had a few style epiphanies lately about what I want for my fall/winter wardrobe.
What I’m Thrifting for Fall/Winter
- Ivory puffy vest to go over my shirts when it’s not cold enough for a full-on coat
- Soft-structured blazer – the kind that has some stretch. Something like this or this in blue or grey would do the trick, or maybe something with some cream/grey or cream/camel geometric stuff happening… open to inspiration!
Check:
- Since this will be the season of turtlenecks, a turtleneck in this color (but not this tight):
What would you call this hue??
- Statement jacket thanks to this Vogue cover
- Grey Pumas for casual winter shoe (I used to have mauve ones that finally fell apart and I’ve been looking to replace them ever since)
In the meantime I substituted these Mossimo sneaks for late summer/early fall:
- One or two more thin sweaters that act like shirts; particularly a Donegal tweed version in cream or blue (or juuuust the right red) like this or this:
I have a feeling this might be a long thrift hunt. (Although I did recently find something in a similar texture but with neon flecks – sigh. Neon.)
- Silk/nice poly blouse in cream with tiny red polka dots – a while back I had a crappy poly version that I had thrifted and LOVED but it was scratchy and cheap and I am now holding auditions for its upgrade.
And because I believe in the long thrift and will be looking for warm weather clothes during the off season…
Stuff I’d Like to Thrift before Summer Comes Again:
- Old school sleeveless denim dress like this or this (minus that weird zipper and the t-shirt underneath)
- White pencil skirt like this one
- Sleeveless, collared leopard blouse like this one – see that taupe?! – but minus the armpit cutoff/pulling you can’t really see here:
I tried several on the last time I went to the Goodwill; none fit, alas, but I think the concept is solid and might be the answer to my quest for the perfect leopard print (are you tired of me linking to that yet?).
