21 Jan Thrifty Threads – Fur and Studs

I finally got some of my Salvation Army coat sale items back from the cleaners and the first thing I had to wear was my fur vest. I’ve been obsessed with fur vests since Rachel Zoe started rocking them. However, I wasn’t willing to drop the cash on the real deal and I never found a faux option I had to have.

But lo and behold, I found a real fur vest at the Salvation Army sale a few weeks ago. It’s super soft and has a great silk lining. I easily incorporated the luxe piece in to my typical winter wardrobe {skinny jeans and boots}.

Thrift tip:

Whenever people put things back at a thrift store, take a minute to go through their discarded options. I found this vest on a rack of coats that people decided they didn’t want. Maybe the people who tried it on before me didn’t like the size or style. Something they thought wasn’t worth a purchase is now a great new piece in my closet.

Week 20 of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge (a full year where I only buy second-hand clothing) is down. Only 32 more weeks to go!
