"The Fabulous THRIFT SHOP Challenge!!!!!" "O" Magazine ~vs~ Too Cheap Blondes Chambray and Lace

Jen and I have decided to do our own personal challenge, recreate an outfit all from a thrift store!

Maybe that sounds easier than it is, but we only went to one store!

Today we printed up several looks from “O Magazine” and went into a thrift store to style a similar look.  This DEFINITELY pushed both of us out of our comfort zone … we thought outside of the box and didn’t quite hit the mark on a few looks but we will show you the ones that we are quite proud of!

Pencil Skirt

Even in a va-va-voom shade, this pencil skirt is more casual than cocktail  party: Flats, a scarf, and a rolled denim shirt complete the weekend look.
(Shirt, Talula for  Artizia, $70. Skirt, Joie, $188)

At a local Goodwill Store we found a boys XL chambray shirt for $3.99 and a red lace skirt for $6.99!   At these prices we can be generous and throw in the scarf $1.99 and belt $2.99 for a complete look priced at only $17.96!
