Thrifty Summer Outfit


I haven't done a what to wear post in a long time, so I thought I would share one of my thrifty outfits. The key to a successful clothing thrifting adventure is a good thrifting partner. My good friend Jackie (click on her name to see her blog, she is so amazing) is that for me.

On occasion, we sneak out for a thrifting adventure. We often spend very little but walk away with some fun and trendy clothes, most importantly we always have fun!

On one such thrifting adventure, Jackie, picked out this great top. It was so cute and fun. I told her that if it didn't work for her, then I'd like to try it. Well, it didn't work out for her but it worked great for me! I can't remember exactly how much it cost, but I'm sure it was only a couple of dollars.

I paired the shirt with white ankle jeans that I found on a clearance rack at a fun boutique for only $10.00 with an original price tag of about $100. Such a steal.

I hope this encourages you to hit the thrift store for some great bargains and fun fashion!

Blessings,
Jennifer
