thrifty threads, looking fly on a dime

Since I put my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge on hiatus, I've had a few people ask if I've had a chance to shop for new clothes. Like I wrote in a previous post, though I gave up buying anything new for a full year, I didn't feel like I was being deprived of anything, so I didn't have a serious urge to shop for anything non-thrift store related. But I finally changed that last week.
My first purchase was two pairs of earrings from H&M. None of the clothes caught my eye too hard {I'm waiting for the Maison Martin Margiela collection}, but I had to have these earrings. The turquoise pair have a vintage-y feel and the disco ball ones are fun and flashy, just my style.

Have you ever had an outfit that you planned around an amazing pair of shoes? Well, that's what I did with my most recent thrifty threads look.The weather in NYC was a bit mild and I wanted to whip out my Betsey Johnson sequin pumps from Marshall's. I'm a lover of all things sequins, so these shoes are my babies. I paired them with a few other cheap chic finds for a perfect spring look.

This is a pretty plain body con dress, but the detailing at the waist is what made me thrift it from the Salvation Army.
