New To My Closet- Thrift Finds

I recently had a day of unexpected thrifting luck with the adorable Sandhya from the blog Livin' Wide and wanted to share my finds with you, so here they are...

Apologies...I didn't take the best pictures or detail close ups this time around.
Anyway, this little shirt dress has pintucks all the way around the upper body, making it just the right fit and not too snug around my mid section, which is still suffering from my food rampage in New Orleans. On its own, it is a reasonable length for work but I'll probably pair it with tights or a legging of some type. The fabric is also slightly heavier which means it'll easily carry me into fall, with an over the knee boot.

I worked hard at breaking my usual color blocked style and went for some fun patterns like this Express snakey pencil skirt in raspberry and lavender...super crazy! But so fun! It was a tad big but I've already altered it to fit. I like the idea of a simple white button down for a sort of secreterial style, but I tried it on with a gray jersey cowl neck and big black belt and loved this look as well.

BCBG red pants...ok, way out of my comfort zone! But, other than the length, they fit extremely well. I'm always on the hunt for something other than jeans and these are definitely unexpected. I purchased them mostly for work wear and already hemmed them, so now I only need to be brave enough to wear them! Maybe today...

I love everything I found, but this dress might be my favorite. It fit right off the rack and needed no alterations other than a good hand washing. Geometric print, pops of yellow and light weight, perfect for summer! It works belted as well and I think it'll be just the right dress for the Lucite necklace I found a month or so back. I might need to go out for cocktail hour sooner than expected just to wear it!

Even though this ABS dress is a little big and needs to be shortened in the arms and length, I love it! Or the print to be exact. It looks like a forest in the middle of winter...

And it's not just black, but navy as well. The two tones gives it a little depth. It's also a little heavy for summer along with the longer sleeves, so alterations on this one can wait a little longer. I'm picturing it layered over some knit tights...

I also found a jersey cream and black perfectly simple dress but it's currently hang drying and will have to wait for another post.

The thrift Gods were smiling upon me that day! Best part about it is I didn't go over my $20 thrifting budget, which included lunch! I think everything combined was around $18 give or take a few pennies. (Not including gas...) Yup, an entire thrifting day for under $20. That being said, I could have spent more...
