Yeah, that’s right, my title is a bad pun that references an even worse song. Because that’s how I roll. Also how I roll? In thrifted clothes:
In fact, everything in this outfit is thrifted with the exception of the bangles (Nordstrom) and the necklace (vintage brooch-on-a-chain via Lil’ Gypsy). And with the exclusion of those items, this outfit cost me a whopping $9.97. The marigold blouse (never worn Liz Claiborne), which is silk and is the best color ever, was $1.98, the blue pleated skirt (vintage) was $3.00, the shoes (Franco Sarto) were $1.00 and the belt (Mossimo/Target) was $3.99.
For those of you who bet yourself that I’d wear a pleated skirt for the EBEW Thrift Challenge, give yourself a cookie from me. While my fabulous bloggy friend Katie loves to thrift silk scarves, I love to thrift pleated skirts. And I was especially excited about this blue one. I’d been admiring the pleated blue Zara skirt that so many bloggers (like the lovely Katherine) rocked this summer, but we don’t have a Zara here in Oregon (hell, we just got H&M last fall). So, of course I tried to thrift one. And for months, I had no luck. But, I kept my eyes open and finally found one, prompting a little happy dance in the aisle.
If you’d like to see more of my thrifted pleated skirt collection, you can see this post, this one, or this guest post for gorgeous Fabienne of The House in the Clouds. And if you’d like to see more thrifty posts (you know you want to), pop on over to Everybody, Everywear and feast your eyes.
