In the past, I might have skipped the accessories altogether. This outfit is REALLY boring. In fact, most of my outfits are fairly dull. I think I need to thrift up some snazz.
Like these pins. I am actually pretty successful at thrift store jewels, since I can tell immediately what they will look like! But as far as clothes, I don't think I have been successful at finding anything beyond an accessory at the thrift since I moved away from Austin.
So...what's the secret? Do you have the eye?
Pants, Gap; Sweater, H&M. Both a million years ago. Pins, thrifted!; Belt, thrifted!
when i go thrifting, i have a little system for clothes. first, i look for color. anything with a nice color, i touch. that tells me about fabric - is it nice? will it hang nicely?
ReplyDeleteif it passed the color and touch test, then i take it off the rack and check size, wear, and tear.
then, the hard part: cut. you have to know what cuts look good on you always (mine: a- line skirts, pencil skirts, empire waists, straight legs, 3/4 length sleeves, boat necks, etc.)
happy hunting!
I do a lot of touching, and icking, when I thrift.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever alter things to make them fit better/differently?
