thrifted style | that one yellow top

Thursday, September 13, 2012


You may or may not already know this about me. I love shopping at thrift stores (I even have a thrifty entertaining series!). I don't love rummaging through their clothes, however. I'd rather dig through piles of textiles for the home, sort through glassware on a shelf, or meander through their furniture section. I'm trying to get better at thrifting for clothing and accessories (and I do have a mean thrifted belt collection).

This shirt is one of my favorite//most worn shirts. And I was lucky to pick it up at a Unique for $1.00. I wear it with almost everything - high waisted shorts, skinny jeans (in all colors), flairs, etc. And I layer it with florals, tanks, button-ups, etc. And it goes with all my jewelry. And my boyfriend loves it. It's definitely a winner/keeper. Now that fall is almost here, I cannot wait to think up new outfit combinations.

Do you have any favorite thrifted tops?

Happy Thursday,
Rebecca

  1. Gorgeous colour, it even looks to have a slight ombre effect going on ...

    1. Oh gosh, I wish it was ombre!!! Just the moody morning light though, I think... :)

  2. Haha, funny ask, I think *all* (or a good 90%) are thrifted (I'm a Plato's Closet devotee). I feel good about the price point & it's a nice way to feel like I'm doing the "green" thing (recycling clothes). Plus, I do love the worn look of many pieces of clothing, especially jeans.

    1. I was just recently introduced to Plato's Closet (don't know what took me so long to discover it), and I LOVE it there. Although....sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the amount of inventory! But I guess having a lot to choose from is never a bad thing :)

  4. i absolutely love thrifting but am similar to you - i gravitate towards the home stuff first...but i love when i do find that perfect top - or a fabulous leather jacket for $40...that is probably one of my favorite finds! i can't wait to bust it out once the weather gets a little chillier :) XO Brynn

  5. It looks nice on that hanger and all, but what I want to see is what it looks like when you're wearing it.

  6. I can totally relate!! Somedays I feel totally overwhelmed by the clothing racks at thrift stores and then others, all I want to do is try on clothes. I guess it all depends on the mood I'm in. Love this pretty thing of yours, though! Makes me want to go thrifting right now. ;-)
