I thrifted the leopard print jeans a while ago at Goodwill. They were in my mend pile to never ever again see the light of day. I wanted to take in the pant leg and make them a little more skinny. Right now they are a bootcut. Now that I pulled them out, I think I will keep them as is. Bootcut works for me.
They are a great representation of one of my thrift tips -- ignore size labels. They're a size 13/14 and I think they are from the juniors section. I loved the print but turned my noise up at that size and the teeny bopper cut. I tried them on anyway. To my surprise, they fit very well. I have complete butt coverage even when I bend over! There's no waist gap either. No belt required.
That leaves room for me to apply a totally non-functional belt around my waist. I have no reason for the waist belt other than I wanted to change it up a bit because I have worn this sweater several times on the blog. It's in disguise. Is it working? Did you recognize the sweater from this post and this one?
I don't have a lot of sweaters. I had a hard time finding them this winter. Well, maybe every winter because my closet is really lacking in that department. Hence, the green sweater repetition.
A change is coming though. I had a major haul yesterday at Unique Thrift Store's $10 per bag sale. I can't wait to show all the goodies! It's been a while since I've done a large haul.
I went out in the snowstorm we're having here in Chicago. Yeah, I love thrift shopping that much.

I love the jeans, and they don't come off as "teeny-bopper" at all! The belt is the perfect pop of pink.
I wish a thrift store in my area would do a $10/bag sale! I would be in heaven! When you do post that haul, feel free to add it to my Thrift Scores link up here: http://www.greenandgorgeous.net/2013/03/01/thrift-scores-march-link-up/
I'm always discouraged to try on clothes because I never know if something is going to fit ... so i guess I really should ignore the labels and size and just try it on ... Thanks for that tip!
This whole post is shading us who can't wear juniors. I see you! You look great! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Those pants are awesome and I really like how you paired it with colorful items instead of the standard grey or black with leopard. It's really unique and you look fabulous :)
Also, would you mind voting for me on American Eagle's site. Takes 2 secs lol: https://live.ae.com/#/entries/3272

Cute top! I love that you went with a bold color even though you had a bold printed bottom.
