Jayare and I had a wonderful anniversary yesterday. Thank you to everyone for your kind words! Today, I'm sharing an outfit that I wore to work last week. I thrifted this dress from Goodwill, but it's originally from Dress Barn, which I think is totally awesome! I have never set foot inside of Dress Barn. I just think think that it's really cool that I can thrift things that are originally from places that I don't typically (or in this case, ever) shop at.
I hardly ever pay attention to labels when I'm thrifting, unless of course, I'm shopping for Superstition Vintage. But really though, just in the last year I've noticed that I thrift so many things that were originally from Wal-Mart, K-Mart or just a random store at the mall that I never shop at. I'm not saying that I'm going to start shopping at these places, because let's be honest, I don't really shop anywhere for clothes besides thrift stores. I'm just saying that it's really opened up my eyes to see that labels don't matter to me - at all! I just like what looks good and makes me feel good.
Love the dress.
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit, especially the shade of blue on your tights!

love that necklace, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely outfit and I do find it interesting to see in the end where thrifted items were originally from. I'd never thought too much about it before.
ReplyDeleteit's so true. in thrifting, we're really able to focus on how a certain piece fits us, compliments our shape, and makes us feel pretty-and all in the name of sustainable and affordable living. brand names don't have the same weight that they do in the rest of capitalist america. i love it. and i loveee this outfit!
ReplyDeleteYes! I love the fact that I'm ignoring labels, saving money AND I'm shopping in a sustainable way! :) Love this!
DeleteGreat post!!! I tend to do the same thing when I thrift. I love the boots. I always just buy what I like, labels have never mattered to me. :) You look great!
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same way about labels and this is so true about thrifting- you just pick out what you like and what fits over who made it! Love this and those boots are awesome! What a great score- that's such a current style!
ReplyDeleteyay glad you had an awesome anniversary!! & hope to see some shots of Jerome later, the place always looks so cute. what a great find on the dress & those boots are perfect! i have a couple things from places like Anne Taylor & always laugh since I've never been there.
