Thrifty Thursday!

Hello! So yesterday and today have been very busy, but I had a chance to go thrifting! I have a new appreciation for thrift shopping... I never used to be very "thrifty" but over the past year I've been awakened to all of the great opportunities of finding good deals and making amazing outfits out of things I wouldn't normally pick up. The first store I went to was called The Clothes Mentor - kind of like an upscale Plato's closet. There were many bags and accessories taunting me all around and I had to practice some self-discipline ;) however, I came out of there with 3 new shirts and a Coach wristlet. The wristlet was $18 which isn't exactly the cheapest, but for Coach it was a bargain! Also, I figured the black and white leather could go with anything and I could use it all the time for my school ID and phone (which I constantly carry with me). All in all, it was a successful trip!

What I wore yesterday was casual and included some new garments from my AE splurge! For some reason I have been so in the mood to buy the color green. I don't know why, I have just picked up everything that's green! I've heard multiple people say to me that they think it's the color of the year... so we'll see if that's really true.

Cami: Aeropostale

Skinny Jeans: American Eagle Outfitters

Scarf: American Eagle Outfitters

Shoes: TOMS (got them at a boutique in SC)

So I'm LOVING these skinnies from AE, they're called eye cat and they have the effect of a tribal print.  I'm learning how well they go with everything, they were a bit bold but a must-add to my wardrobe!

My thrifty finds:

Top: J-Crew (Clothes Mentor, $12)

Tank: The LOFT (Clothes Mentor, $6)

Top: The LOFT (Clothes Mentor, $8)

Coach Wristlet (Clothes Mentor, $18- originally $65)

Vera Bradley "Make Me Blush" pattern (Gifted)

I love Vera patterns, but I've never actually owned one that's a bag. I figured it will be cute to use in the summer! If you have any good ways to wear the Vera, let me know! I'll have to play with it and figure out how to rock it ;)
