Though my style tends to favor girly skirts and sequins, sometimes I like to keep it plain and simple. And that's exactly what I did this week. I absolutely adore shirt dresses and this Club Monaco number I found during my last Salvation Army thrift haul hit the sartorial spot. Shirt dresses are simple, yet chic and multi purpose. Dress one up with accessories and heels or go casual with flats. I chose the former. Though I mixed patterns and prints with my shoes and jewelry, they all have similar hues and gold accents.

I'm a serious thrift lover but it's rare that I wear my thirfted finds from head to toe {clothing, shoes and accessories}. However, I switched that up this week and showed my true thrifty nature. From head to toe, my outfit costs $8. Everything I wore was purchased from secondhand stores, minus my opaque tights {I don't buy thrifted under garments}.I had a meeting to attend where it was imperative I show my personal sense of style. I put together the things I love the most: wide belt, girly skirt and lace.
