30 Jan Thrifty Threads 365: Statement Pieces for Cold Weather
Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details check the original post here.
To say that it's been cold would be a serious understatement. With temperatures below zero and snow that never seems to cease, the last thing on my mind was wearing something cute or teetering around in heels, but...I found an outfit that was fashionable and functional.
My cold days aren't complete without my Ellen Tracy cape {get it here in black} I scored from Loehmann's two years ago. Seriously, investing in outerwear is a must, especially if you live in a colder climate.
Every other garment I rocked was straight from my favorite thrift stores: vintage Balenciaga booties {less than $1 from Housing Works Buy the Bag}, purse, vintage blouse, beaded jacket and Uniqlo jumpsuit from the Salvation Army. They all came together for a look that combined fashion and function.
