Caroline over at Un-Fancy recently completed a 10×10 outfit challenge: 10 outfits in 10 days using 10 pieces of clothing (including shoes, not including other accessories). Her inspiration for the project? She wanted to resist the urge to buy a bunch of new stuff for fall and instead challenge herself to discover new ways of making outfits […]
January only involved two thrift stops, but both were bountiful. Let’s take a look. First up, a trip to Global Thrift in Waltham, where I found… This luminous gray Academy Blazer by Banana Republic, size 8: I had convinced myself that I could go without a gray blazer because I had found so many that were […]
I’m rounding the bend here – just a few more weeks (give or take, babies have a mind of their own) before Mini Thrifter #2 arrives. At this point in my pregnancy there are only so many things that a) fit and b) are appropriate for winter weather, so I thought I’d share what has […]
I’ve gotten this curated wardrobe thing down to a science (ha): thrift a bunch of stuff I like and am reasonably sure I’ll wear for the upcoming season, then take them all for a test drive and weed out the extras – anything I’m not excited to wear or have failed to wear completely – […]
A few weeks ago – I think it was while I was starting to put away some of the really heavy winter clothing (the lighter stuff is still around…sigh) – I realized that I had worn just a few dresses over the winter, some just once. And although I cycled through a few different clutches […]
Long time no see, Thrifters! You know it’s been awhile when my last post was also thrift finds… from a month ago. I’ve been happily busy with work (Lent, Holy Week) and thus away from the blog. To jump back in, I thought about doing the Spring 10×10 (click here to read about what a 10×10 is) but it […]
Judging by the comments, you all are up for more posts as I transition into a Light Summer season. (That’s SciArt/12 Blueprints parlance – if none of that makes sense, start here. Read more about SciArt here). I had my Personal Color Analysis (PCA) appointment one month ago (details in that first linked post above). Since then I’ve […]
First up, I want to share with you all Nadia at Happy Malista’s recap from her 10×10 challenge; she shared her outfits as well as outfits from a few other bloggers whose challenges she enjoyed, including yours truly! It’s sometimes hard finding a style blogger whose style is close enough to your own to resonate […]
In which I try out a new-to-me silhouette. I feel like Lee Vosburgh from Style Bee in this top: Still working on focus, folks… It’s a much boxier/wider silhouette than I’m used to: Turtleneck: Coldwater Creek, thrifted Sweater top: Banana Republic, thrifted Necklace: DIY from thrifted parts Jeans: Paige, thifted Socks: Target, retail Flats: Trotters, […]
This month’s thrifting window was half as long as normal due to my thrifting fast, but I still found some good pieces. That fast focused my thrifting and I ended up sticking mostly to what was on my (trimmed down) thrift list. (FYI I wrote that list mid-April but didn’t publish it until after the 10×10 was […]
