Thrifted 8/16/11

One commonality among the outfits I've pinned lately is a simple sweater paired with jeans and a scarf. Just simple, fresh, and weekend perfect. 

I am craving the start of fall. Like really excited to pull out my sweaters and jackets and cozy up under blankets. So naturally, I hunted for some fall-phasable (ya like that new word right?) staple items.

The basics for this outfit are what I found this week:
Top: Ann Taylor, thrifted $7
Jeans: Lands End, thrifted $6
(other items: scarf: the Pleated Poppy, Belt: Eddie Bauer, Shoes: Clarks)

I had no clue until I got home that the sweater is 100% silk...I wondered why it was so soft! And the jeans are divine - a tiny bit of stretch to keep it's perfect trouser shape.

And this is why I love thrifting. I can splurge on fun (usually handmade) accessories and still have quality clothes that I paid 80% off retail. It's life-changing I tell ya!
