thrifty threads, thrift store style, looking fly on a dimeOne of the most antiquated fashion myths is the idea that you should never wear white after Labor Day. Yes, you can {and should!} wear white this winter season. It's crisp, clean and has an automatic chic-ness to it. Of course it's all about the material. White linen pants would be a no-no in winter, but a sharp white/cream/off white coat is a definite yes.

Winter is rearing her frigid, ugly head so that means it's time for me to whip out my trusty fur collar Zara coat I scored from Housing Works Buy the Bag. As it turned out, my entire look {minus the gloves and tights} was thrifted and head to toe cost less than $25.
