The weather on the east coast is pretty brutal. Apartment dwelling means I don't have to shovel but with more than a foot of snow, my dilemma is what to wear? I attended a birthday party yesterday and I didn't have to dress up but I didn't want to step in the room wearing clunky snow boots either.I pulled a few wardrobe staples {blazer and pleated skirt} from my closet and wore them in a different way.My striped J. Crew blazer has seen plenty of wear but this time I wanted to button and belt it, something I'd normally never do. I hiked my skirt up a bit so the proportions with the blazer didn't look too off.Since footwear was a major issue {due to massive snow piles}, I threw on my tall Payless boots. They have a slight heel {because Patrice doesn't party in flats, gasp!}, but the rubber sole kept me firmly planted on the ground.It wasn't until I did a final look in the mirror that I realized my whole look (minus accessories) was thrifted.Click more to see the price breakdown and read up on a thrift shopping tidbit.
