Thrifted Thursday: Floral and Denim

Happy Thursday! We are one day closer to the weekend! Today's post is about something that is thrifted(obviously, look at the title)...but seriously, I couldn't wait anymore to wear this dress and share it with all of you! 

I went to Goodwill a few weeks back and found this dress and purse. I fell in love with the print of the dress as well as the cut and fit. It was like it was made for me and was sitting there waiting for me to come in and get it! 

I also found this purse that I seriously cannot get enough of. I think it is totes adorbs (totally adorable) and sort of reminds me of a purse I had as a child. Of course that one was pink and had my monogram on it but similar style none the less. 

I love a good jean jacket this time of year too as we are in a transition period here in Michigan. This dress is more of a spaghetti strap and has no coverage for the arms. Given that the current temp is only in the 60's, I decided to go with a little more coverage with the jean jacket. I also have on these strappy wedges that were a recent purchase from TJ Maxx. They are Steve Madden brand and are comfortable and were a great price. 

So for the dress and the purse, my grand total was $7.52. It was originally $10 I think, but I had a coupon. That's right- I'm that thrifty that I shop at Goodwill and use coupons! If you sign up for their loyalty program, they send you emails that have coupons in them too! 

The other items I will be able to wear all spring and summer and by the end of that time, the CPW (cost per wear) will be very low. 

Here are some pics of today's outfit- the first is the one I used on Instagram as I am also using it for today's Style Me April and Coast to Coast challenges- I might also add that it is incredibly windy and I didn't notice the red trash that blew next to me in the pics:



What's the best thing you ever thrifted? Any other good tips or tricks we should know about? 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

    What an awesome find. Michigan seem to always have wacky weather. Which I don't miss at all.

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
