18 Jun Thrifty Threads
It's Friday so that means another round of Thrifty Threads where I showcase my frugal fashion finds.I went to a celebration for Tanqueray's 200th anniversary and I wanted a look that was casual with dressy accents, which is my overall style.

23 Oct Casual Wear to Cocktail Affairs
My love affair of thrifting began as a sophomore in college. I had an induction ceremony to attend but nothing to wear and an empty wallet. I hit up a local thrift store in Philly and an hour later I walked out with a $5 ensemble. After that moment, I realized thrift stores weren't just for a pair of jeans, but for any occasion, from casual to cocktail.Here are a few of my favorite looks (all of the pieces are $2 or less):
I'd wear this grocery shopping or to the airport. Laid back, simple and versatile. I can dress it up with pumps or slip on flats for a day of errands.Blazer: Ann Taylor
Top: Banana Republic
Jeans: Citizens of Humanity
Scarf: unknown
I work in a creative field so I'm not obligated to wear stuffy business suits or blah outfits, but I would feel comfortable wearing this. A classy, work appropriate skirt paired with the polka dot top makes it a fun look.Top: Zara
Skirt: Brooks Brothers
Work, date, social gathering, there isn't anywhere I wouldn't wear this. I'm a true girly girl (lace, ruffles, ribbons, bows, you name it) but I wanted to break up the cutesy-ness of the flirty dress by adding a leather jacket.
