Earlier this week I gave you guys a quick recap of the first Adventures in Thrifting where I met up with a few readers to go thrift shopping. The theme was The Big Three and we went to Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army on East 23rd Street in New York City. I already showed you what I found, so now it's time to see what my amazing readers scored.Peep the quick video below where the ladies show off their goods, including on trend pieces like a coral...

This weekend was the inaugural Adventures in Thrifting and we had a blast. I met up with four readers for a day of thrift shopping. We hit up the "Big Three" on East 23rd Street: Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army. Here's a peek at what I found.

We started at Goodwill where everything with a green tag was 50 percent off. I found a ton of goodies in less than 30 minutes. These Nicole Miller peep toes had me at hello. Believe it or not I don't have any red pumps, so I was hardcore crushing on these. They were only $12...but they were too big!

Spring has finally reared her head in NYC and I'm loving it. The past week we've seen temps in the upper 60s, 70s and I've taken the opportunity to put away my tights and show some leg.

I tend to plan an outfit around one item {statement shoes, a dress, bold top, etc} and I knew I wanted to rock a cute skirt. I'm normally not a fan of velvet, but I found a number from the Salvation Army that I couldn't refuse. The satin and velvet embroidered beauty is simply divine.

Last week I showed you one of many ways to cut an oversized t-shirt and this week I'm showing you how to wear a men's button down. They tend to come in great colors and patterns that will add great variety to your wardrobe. Though they're cute, I'm sure you're thinking how to make the large, unflattering cuts work on a feminine frame.

A few months ago I snagged this chambray Gap shirt from Salvation Army. Though it's an XS, it swallows me up if I wear it as is. Luckily, pairing it with the right tops, bottoms or accessories make all the difference. See the four ways to wear a men's button down.

Belted: The quickest and most obvious way to rock a button down is with the help of a belt. It defines your waist and looks great with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans. You can opt for a belt with a funky pattern, detailed buckle or tie a woven one.
