Someday I'll be losing this fear

Cardigan: Savation Army $4, Dress: Bootlegger $5, Scarf: Thrift $.75, Tights: Ardenes $3, Shoes: Thrift $2, Hat: Thrift $1

Total: $15. 75 (hehe so cheap!!)

It was so so so cold while i took these pictures!! i swear the temperature just dropped ten degrees in the last few days, i need to seriously invest in a pair of gloves, i am thinking maybe some leather ones. After reading the comments on my leopard print post i decided i would wear my scarf which i completely love now and it might show up on here alot now :). I mixed a total of three different patterns in this outfit (the leopard print, stripes and my hat is tweed) so i felt very trendy lol. This outfit is my pride and joy because the entire thing only cost $15.75 which i think is pretty darn awesome. I must say i bought the hat on kindof a whim because i didn't think it looked very good on me but i have worn it way more then i was expecting to!!

I wore this outfit yesterday when i went into to town to run some errands and go to the Salvation Army. Oh my goodness the shopping was amazing, sometimes i don't find to much at that thrift store, the ocasional sweater or shirt nothing to special but it was just great this time. I swear i tried on about fifty things!! i have been having real bad luck with finding things that fit lately as everything seems to either be to big or to small. I actually went there to buy a dress i had seen before but ended up getting a navy blue cardigan (yes i finally found a elusive good quality cardi these things are NEVER at thrift stores), two oversized sweaters (one nautical striped and the other army green with these awesome shoulder details and patches on the elbows), and a floral skirt which i am going to hem in the near future. It is on days like those i wish i had a blog shop because there was way to many cute clothes there for me to buy just for myself. I hope everyone has a lovely evening!!

What a cute outfit! What makes it even better is the fact that it costs about the same (or less) as a regular sweater or other piece of item in a store. Haha, you look quite cold in the third picture.

i love your outfit posts! the cardigan is so cute and i can't believe how cheap this outfit was!
If you did start a blogshop i'd be on there straight away, we don't have anything as cheap or good as thrift shops here :( x

this is a beautiful look. I love that hat. It looks really great on you.
I like your pictures as well. The grey sky with all the clouds looks very neat as your background.
