Thrifty Threads: Lazy Weekend Style & Skechers Giveaway

looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threads Sometimes I just don’t know what to wear. And by sometimes, I mean a lot of times. Though I have a closet full of awesome thrifted clothes, getting dressed can still be so tough. Since I typically find myself scratching my head over what to wear, I have a few style formulas that I rely on. When it comes to weekend wear, I tend to stick to: cardigan + skinny jeans + flat boots = effortless chic weekend style. And of course I throw in an accessory or two.

Keep reading to see my fail proof formula for creating a simple, yet polished weekend look and how you can win a pair of the Skechers flat boots I’m wearing.

 I love bold colors, but when I’m in a rush, I stick with neutrals and let me accessories do the popping. This weekend I rocked a Simply Vera Vera Wang cardigan with thrifted Hudson skinny jeans and a scoop neck tank. For an injection of color, I threw on my Prima Donna necklace and borrowed my cousin’s Michael Kors bag. Even when the rest of my look is pretty blah, I always try to add a statement necklace as the focal point. And you can’t forget a pair of sunnies. I always say sunglasses and a bright lipstick can hide a multitude of sins {late night, no makeup, etc}.
skechers-mad-dash-boots-looking-fly-on-a-dime-giveaway While I’m a heel lover, I try to give my feet a much needed break on the weekend and one of the reasons I love fall so much is because it’s finally boot season. A flat boot is an absolute must for fall. Instead of my typical riding boot, I’m kinda feeling the western trend, so the Skechers Mad Dash boot is perfect. The faux leather braided strap and low heel is ideal for the coming months.
The folks over at Skechers were kind enough to give me a pair as well as a pair for one of my awesome readers, which is a great way to round out a month of giveaways in celebration of my blogiversary.
Enter below to win a pair of the Skechers Mad Dash boots in tan {like I’m wearing} or in black! *follow all instructions as outlined in the Rafflecopter widget below, otherwise your entry will be deleted and void.*

    I would wear these boots with opaque tights, a skirt, and a chunky knit sweater. 🙂 I wouldn’t say I have a go-to weekend look, it depends on what I am up to that weekend!

    You’re stunning in these pictures; those green accessories look great on you.

    My go-to weekend look is some variation on jeans and a black top–various shapes and cuts. And I wear different eyeglasses (colors/shapes) depending on my mood.

    The first item outfit I’d wear these boots with is with a khaki-colored soft cotton dress I thrifted at the beginning of the month: hi/low hem (all above the knee) with a big cowl neck, and light brown buttons running up and down it. With boots, it will be a great summer-to-fall outfit. With my tortoiseshell glasses and red lipstick.
