You may recall that I recently wrote a post about my experience while shopping at a thrift store. In that post, I describe how I managed to get two outfits – including shoes – for under $20! I was pretty amazed myself!
Well, I’ve since become very excited about thrifting, so when Natasha from Baby T Fashion Diaries approached me about a second thrifting challenge, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to thrift again. 🙂
This time, we wanted to focus on items that a woman would wear to the office. Office-appropriate outfits, if you will. We did not set a budget, there weren’t any rules at all, really. What we did agree to do, was to purchase an outfit that we could each wear to the office..from a thrift store. Simple enough, right?
Check out what we found:
My thrift store finds:
- Ann Taylor Jacket/Blazer $2.50
- Banana Republic Wrinkle Free top $2.50
- Gap pleated midi-skirt $3
TOTAL COST: $8
All items were purchased at the Salvation Army.
Shoes and necklace were not thrifted, however the necklace is from Forever 21 (old, about $8), earrings are from TJ Maxx (old, $10), and slingback heels are from the Nine West outlet (recent, $15).
My sweet friend Natasha found a fab outfit as well! See for your self:
Doesn’t she look great! A very office-appropriate outfit indeed. Check out her blog and Instagram for details on her amazing finds!
What do you think?! I am personally LOVING these thrifting challenges and hopeful to find some more amazing finds in the future.
Until next time! Stay chic!

Yes! The store has an additional discount on certain days of the week on certain colored tags. It so happened that the day I shopped, they had an additional 50% off some items. It was a win-win!
