I never thought I'd be happy to say I got something at a thrift store, but I'm totally hooked on thrifting! I go to my favorite local thrift store (Helping Hands, in case any of you locals were wondering), about once a week in search of brightly colored pencil skirts. I still haven't found one, but I have, however, come home with a slew of other stuff. Last week, I scored this orange cardi and braided belt.
Shirt (Loft), Cardi, Belt & Bracelets: Thrifted
Skirt: NY&Co (Borrowed from my Sis)
Shoes: Target (Gift from a friend)
The chipped polish is being fixed tomorrow, I promise! ;)
Since everything that wasn't thrifted, was borrowed or given to me, the entire cost of this outfit was $7.00! That is pretty darn cool. =) It's so cool that I'm linking up with Thursdays are for Thrifters!

Your cardigan is adorable! I would love to find a bright orange cardigan just because, well, hardly anybody wears orange cardigans. I like being different!!! Also, your braided belt is super cute. I never wear belts ... I think that is leftover from the hip hugger trend that I was born into where you actually want your pants to sag down to your pubic bone.

very cute outfit, and i love your pose! so happy and confident!hope you can check out my blog for some +vibes and inspiration! I am also hosting a LIMITED EDITION giveaway by the amazing Lark Calderon GOmez! :)
Love the bright orange cardi...so fun with that patterned top. Great how you wore the belt lower! Incredible outfit for $7!
That color looks great with the printed top and YAY for inexpensive outfits that look like a million bucks!
Whaa, SEVEN dollars?! I would kill for just one piece of clothing to be that price! You have serious gifted/thrifted scores here lady, and look adorable in that pumpkin color to boot!
Yes, I am glad, thankyouverymuch. I'm glad that you put these pieces together so that I can get an outfit idea!!!! And funny that you mention your addiction to thrifting....
$7??? What a bargain and none of these pieces look 'thrifted,' to me! I love the orange cardigan and you will find your bright pencil skirt in no time! A few will make their way just in time for fall I am sure :)
Wait a sec....why are you up this late?!? ;)
Isn't it amazing what you can find on a trip to the thrift store? It's one of my favorite ways to shop for clothes these days! You found some great things - the color of that cardigan is great for summer and works great with the out. I am also loving the braided belt. A very adorable outfit, and it looks so much more expensive that $7. What a great combination.

This outfit is adorable! What a score for the whole thing! I have this same shirt and never thought to pair it with an orange cardi. I may have to borrow your idea :)

Such a fabulous fall-colored outfit. I love it, as usual!
I sent you an email, lady! So check your spam filter again. ha!

I have yet to be lucky in a thrift store. I went to a consignment shop in Boston last year and was appalled at the overpriced (and cruddy) merchandise. You obviously have more luck than me in this department because I know I couldn't find that orange cardigan even if my life depended on it. I love your bargain outfits - you look great as always!
cute cardi.. looking good
I absolutely love that braided belt! Thanks so much for linking up!

aren't thrift stores the BEST?? i was never one for marshall's, ross, or thrift stores - i hated digging through things. but once i saw the calm in sorting through racks, and the utter joy of finding a gem . . . i'll never go back!

Some amazing deals! Love those shoes.
Isn't thrifting the best?! I'm obsessed. Happy Friday!
Those colors look absolutely fantastic together! I'm not a great thrifter, but it's obvious that you are!
Love these colors!

$7? Holy cow, lady...that's awesome!
And I fully support the idea of brightly colored pencil skirts, so keep up the good search ;)
