thrifted stripes & pleats








 SKIRT / thrifted ($2.99!!!); SHIRT / thrifted; BELT / vintage; SHOES / aldo; CLUTCH / vintage; SUNNIES / d&g; NECKLACE / thrifted; BRACELETS / juicy couture, f21 x2, ASOS, vintage; RING / f21


i wanted to show you all a completely thrifted outfit, minus the shoes which i usually sway away from purchasing thrifted; it's just not my cup of tea. this entire outfit was picked up at different times and different shops but it fit so perfectly together - i've been dressing a lot within the same color palette and am really loving it!

this pleated skirt is one of my best finds yet - it was found in a thrift store outside of hamilton for only $2.99!!! yes, I had to get the zipper fixed but all in all the skirt was bought and made brand new all under $10; now if that's not a great find, i don't know what is!

this authentic snakeskin clutch is another of my found treasures - you never know what you are going to find!

ps. isn't this view just beautiful?? xo

      the trick is to go in without anything in mind - sometimes i score, some times i don't but be open to seeing and finding anything and it will pay off, i promise!
