Here's part two of my guest post from last week over at ColorBlind. If you're a big thrifter like I am, you should check out her weekly link up, Thrifters Anonymous!
For my second look, I decided to keep it a little more casual. Flat brown boots are an absolute fall basic for me and I scored these beauties at Beacon's Closet in Brooklyn a few years ago. They've been through one resoling and are still looking great! My brown vintage top and J. Crew wool cardigan were both Goodwill finds, and the cute plaid H&M shorts are from Buffalo Exchange. And what could give this outfit a little extra pizzaz better than these burnt orange tights?
My rule for buying new clothes is to always check the thrift stores and second hand shops first. With just a little extra effort you can save so much money, and with all that saved money you can buy more clothes! Or an amazing dinner out! Or go to the movies! The possibilities are endless...
I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy, Transatlantic Blonde, and Rolled Up Pretty.
LOVE coloured tights!

They really are the best! Sometimes they make or break an outfit for me.

Thanks! I really like my hair too, which is good because I had no say in how it was cut or colored!
DeleteNot a bad rule of thumb. I think I will make that my New Year's resolution. Hehe. I spent waaay to much on clothes, this year. It's obscene. So yeah, starting next year I really need to ask myself: Did you check out a thrift store, first? If the answer is 'No' then I do not pass go and I do not spend $200. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the orange tights is clever, by the way. It really brings everything together. Well done!

Yes! And the other great thing about searching at a thrift store is that you'll stumble upon all kinds of amazing (and affordable) things that you would never find at a regular store!
DeleteI rocked red tights in my Wednesday post also! You styled them wonderfully :)
ReplyDeleteI found you from the Wednesday link-up and look forward to new posts xo
Bright tights unite!
DeleteI follow that rule too when I´m shopping because not only that it saves money but it also saves the environment! You look great with the red tights on, I think it´s time to pull out mine too after seeing you wear one.;)
ReplyDeleteYes, the environmental impact is another great reason to thrift!
