This week I enjoyed pairing some thrift store finds with some of my favorite pieces. I cannot even begin to describe how much I am loving my recent thrifting experiences. As I mentioned before, I've outgrown most of my pants and skirts (and of course this comes at a time when I just don't want to or can't afford to spend tons and tons of money on new stuff), so thrifting has been a rescue for me. Honestly, a $30.00 bag of new-to-me pieces cost less than one brand new pair of pants. Can't beat that right? Even if something needed dry cleaning, it's still worth it for me. And, they usually come pre-hemmed and altered by their previous owners, so these pieces fit better than ones I could buy retail and have hemmed today.
Shopping thrifted items was TOTALLY inspired by my WIWW pals. If not for the really wonderful looks some of you put together with thrifted finds, I would never have had the guts to hunt the racks for such wonderful pieces. Thank you, ladies!
Here are my looks for this past week.

Love the Saturdays outfit. That ocean blue color looks great on you. Also see you had on a thrifted piece, must be your thrifting shopping is going well. You're always lovely :)
I love how you mix colors with blacks and greys. You always look so stylish, and your thrift finds are pretty cool!
Love, love, love your thrifted Club Monaco skirt - super find! And that Sarah vintage necklace - oh my...I want to borrow that please!
You look amazing in skirts! Oh, and I love how you use accessories in your outfits....you really put things together well!
Cute!
Awesome thrifted items. Welcome to the thrill of the hunt! I LOVE finding really nice items at my Goodwill to add to my work clothes. Cause I sure can't afford them at full retail. You have awesome stylish outfits with JUST the right pops of colors.
Hey, great thrift store finds! How fun. You look great as always, and I adore all your fabulous accessorizing (of course :))!
Thank you so much for linking up with Jewelscapes Bejeweled Wednesdays! I added a link to this post in the special mentions area at the beginning of todays Bejeweled WEdnesday post too. :)
great job on the thrifting - I LOVE Saturday's outfit, that blue is great on you and I just love the sweater you found! :)
very cute outfits!!! Love the first cardigan!!! very pretty!!
darrrrlinnnggggg!
love the jewelscape necklace and your thrifted items.
I'm loving all of your thrifted pieces. You still look very sophisticated and chic. No one would know that you didn't pay full-price for any of the items you wore. I'm have to say that I got a little sentimental when I saw your vintage Sarah Coventry necklace. Oh my! It brought back memories of my dear grandma. Thanks for always being such an inspiration!
LOVE checking this out each week! It's so fun & definitely has inspired me to check out what's in my closet more often.
