Miss Thrift

1.24.2013


Steven Alan striped coat (similar here), Joie oversize cardigan (worn alone here), Alexander Wang blouse, Joe's jeans,  
Vintage paisley scarf (similar here), Forever 21 beanie, Nine West booties (Vintage America Collection), 
Banana Republic clutch, Thrifted wing ring (similar here).



I realized something crazy when I looked back at these pics, which Micol took last weekend before a gluttonous brunch at our favorite fried chicken joint: Pies-n-Thighs... EVERY item in this look is THRIFTED!

With the exception of the beanie.. which I stole from my boyfriend, and the cardigan.. which I bought at Nordstrom rack last year.

I mean, I think I have a bit of a problem. But, if my new Southwestern-striped jacket from Steven Alan isn't testament enough to the kind of amazing things waiting for you at thrift stores, I don't know what is! I promised Micol I'd be her personal shopper on her next trip to Buffalo Exchange, as I'm on a little self-imposed shopping hiatus til further notice.

    Pies-n-Thighs is such a hilarious but perfectly fitting name for a fried chicken joint!

    Also, props for your thriftyness! I love the long sweater-coat thing especially!
