Nude, Navy and Grey Today

GREY, NAVY, STRIPES AND NUDE PUMPS TODAY

Today's outfit is all thrifted with exception of grey Carolyn Taylor cardigan and shoes...it's one of those neat removable fur sweaters. My mommy got it for me for Christmas--thanks, mom! The collar is actually a statement necklace--remember my DIY?--that I made from another shirt.

Have you tried navy, grey, white and nude together? It's a color combination I really love. I also dig the apricot tones in my nails and the light purple--found in one of the double stacked rings on my finger below--along with vintage rhinestone pin accent and vintage clip on earrings.

The Tommy Hillfiger handbag was a .25 cent find at a garage sale this summer! It happens to match my nude pumps perfectly. I love these matte CityClassified shoes; I wear them a lot! They were an Overstock.com purchase that is no longer available as far as I can tell, but if you are in the market for a leg elongating nude shoe, check out these shopping results from Amazon.com!

P.S...I use L.A. Colors nail polish and accent brushes available from many stores for $1 each. I really like their nail art products!

 

Stripes and Polka

FUN FUN FUN! That's all I can say about this zany combo that I pulled together from my closet last night. Every inch of it, with the exception of the boots (which are clearance sale "Faded Glory") are vintage items that were thrifted. From the bangles to the high-waisted navy and white polka dot pleated skirt, the entire outfit cost is approximately $9. Add the cost of the boots for $15 and you have a total of $24.

I love taking risks like this. You may surprise yourself in what you can pull together--get a little brave and try it out! If you do a fun stripe/polka dot combo or pattern mixing (great tips in my blog Well Red and Mixing it up), I'd love to see it on the Thrift Trick Facebook Page!

Stay warm (if you live in Michigan where I do, it was pretty chilly today! 19 degrees while I was out snapping pics, and lots of snow!
