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.

Remember my beloved Catherine Malandrino for Kohl's pleated dress from earlier this fall? Well, I loved it two months ago and I'm still loving it now. Just because the weather has dipped {it's less than 40 degrees in NYC!!!}, that doesn't mean I put the frock away. The great thing about it is the knit material, which makes it perfect for the frigid temps.
When I previously wore the dress, I went with a bare leg and floral pumps, this time around I threw on a pair of thick tights {just a few dollars from H&M} and some thrift store finds for a cozy and chic style.

looking fly on a dime style guide

Fall is in full swing and it's been pretty cold on the east coast. While I'm not ready to whip out my winter coat, I'm all about layering fun fall pieces. And my idea of fun involved a rugged leather jacket and a faux fur vest {both thrifted!}. They're from the Goodwill Outlet {$1.69/pound of clothing}.Jackets with leather sleeves are super trendy and instead of going out and buying one, I decided to layer my vest over the leather jacket. Some people actually thought it was a one piece and asked me where I got my fur jacket with leather sleeves.
