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!
