10 Aug Thrifty Threads 365: White Hot

I have a problem. A serious problem. For as long as I can remember, I’ve rarely, if ever, been able to wear white without getting a stain on it. I always manage to spill a drink, get an ink stain or rub up against something. Due to this, I stay away from wearing white.

But I decided to stop letting that fear keep me from rocking the fresh, crisp hue. While thrift shopping in San Francisco, I found a vintage Adidas tennis skirt I desperately wanted. It fit me perfectly, but it was white. But it was also crazy cheap {the threads at Clothes Contact are $10 per pound}. I bought it and I’m so glad I did.

I finally wore the mini with some bright additions while in New Orleans earlier this summer.

The white actually came in handy when we made a pit stop at Cafe du Monde for some yummy beignets. The powdered sugar just blended right in with my skirt.

The temperature was in the upper 90s, or at least the humidity made it feel that way, but the airy skirt let my skin breathe.

Of course I had to throw on some colorful accessories, all thrifted of course!

True to my clumsy nature, I ended up getting a stain near the hem, but luckily it came out.

Week 44 of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a full year where I only buy second-hand clothing} is down. Only 8 more weeks to go!
