5 Reasons to Wear Gray Jeans This Summer

5 Reasons to Wear Gray Jeans This Summer
Blue jeans are so easy and multipurpose that I end up throwing them on frequently. That's rather boring which is why I've been on a thrift hunt for gray denim. Still easy and multipurpose but cooler - literally and figuratively.

Thrifted and Quilted

Thrifted and Quilted
The majority of my closet is either old or thrifted. I've had this blouse for at least a decade. I'm surprised it's held up this long. I basically keep it around because I am black blouse deficient. I hold on to for the times like this when I really want all black as a background for a…

Thriftanista Style File: Color Pops and #KissNailDress

Thriftanista Style File: Color Pops and #KissNailDress
I am not complaining about the weather at all. I will say there are wardrobe challenges now since it's too hot for tights and wool dresses / skirts. My summer clothes are mostly wrinkled and packed away.  I won tickets to a fashion show and I needed a weather appropriate outfit. I was able to fin…

Thrift Find: Black and White Pinstriped 80's Dress

Thrift Find: Black and White Pinstriped 80's Dress
I went to my favorite  Ethiopian restaurant  and wore a black and white pinstriped 80's dress I thrifted about a month ago. I don't always dress up when I go. I'm just running low on clothes again. All that's left are the dresses. Laundry is a beast! This is my first time wearing it.…

Baubles Bustier and Mom's Jeans

Baubles Bustier and Mom's Jeans
The best things in life are free. These new to me jeans are from my mama's closet. My mom came for a visit and dropped all a few pairs from her hoarder like stash of denim. I've been meaning to replace the ones that no longer fit but I blew my loosey goosey thrift budget up this summer! Mo…

Thrifted Outfit // Leopard Print Jacket

Thrifted Outfit // Leopard Print Jacket
It's thrift store finds like this leopard print ruffled back jacket that remind me how badly I need to clean my closet. The really great pieces are getting lost in the jumble. I let out a tiny squeal when I spotted this jacket at Savers a couple of years ago. I have only worn it a couple of ti…

Stay at Home Moms Wear Crop Tops Too

Stay at Home Moms Wear Crop Tops Too
I'm wearing a sheer back crop top on what I believe to be the last hotter than hot day in Chicago for a while. It really sasses up the typical stay at home mom style du jour. Leopard print just wasn't enough. I held the siren back with a thrift store classic -- elastic waist midi skirt and…

Thrift + Style: White Shorts

Thrift + Style: White Shorts
White shorts are complicated. They are not my friend.  Yellow pants ,   pink skirts , and other brights are more my style. Way too much drama with white. I have very few all white clothing and you will never see me at a white party dressed in all white. I bought a $3 pair of white shorts from the thri…

Thrift + Style: Vintage Cape

Thrift + Style: Vintage Cape
I read Buzzfeed's  19 Signs You're Addicted to Thrift Shopping . One of the signs was having different ideas than most about what's still cool. Well, that's me. That's me in my vintage microsuede cape. I found it at Goodwill last week along with the reversible clutch . It was stee…

DIY Vintage Blazer to Sleeveless Coat

DIY Vintage Blazer to Sleeveless Coat
Sleeveless coats and blazers are popping up on the fashion scene this fall and I'm here to tell you that it's pretty easy and extremely pocket friendly to make your own. Coats are expensive. There's no way I'm going to spend beaucoup bucks on a coat that doesn't have sleeves. I…

4 Key Pieces to Leave Out of the Donation Pile

4 Key Pieces to Leave Out of the Donation Pile
When I get the urge to purge, I run from closet to closet like a mad woman throwing things in bags to cart off to Goodwill. I'm pretty good about letting go of pieces because I know there is more fabulous to be had. Despite my proclivity to fashion fickle, I know these key pieces will always h…

{The Thriftanista Closet} Style Capsule #2

{The Thriftanista Closet} Style Capsule #2
The bad thing about shopping for The Thriftanista Closet is that I find stylish goodies that I want to keep for myself. My closet is getting pretty stuffed and I seriously need to scale back. There's no way I'm letting my Goodwill birthday discount coupon go to waste though. I visited my f…

Pretty and Preppy in Oxfords

Pretty and Preppy in Oxfords
I like to mix and mingle with different styles. Even before the days of thrifting, I considered my style pretty eclectic and hodge podge. It's the fashion fickle in me, I guess.  Oxfords  appeal to my miniscule preppy side. They have always been my thing.

Ruffle Shirtdress and Watermelon Earrings

Ruffle Shirtdress and Watermelon Earrings
I tried not to sweat all over the dress but was unsuccessful. Even under my shady tree, it's pretty hot. The light green sherbet color of this shirtdress isn't keeping me particularly cool either. I'm always a little apprehensive when I buy cheap clothes on Amazon but this one turned o…
