Do you ever find an item you're really excited about, then change your clothes nearly immediately because you want to build an outfit around that new piece right away? That's what happened here. I found this Land's End (who knew?) floral button-down at a new-to-me thrift store, and changed as soon as I got home because I love it so much. Hypocritical of me, yes, but I couldn't say no to the cheeriness and on-point fit-- sue me. Sidenote: so glad to have found a thrift shop where Matt can find clothes! Does anyone else have trouble finding thrifted items for men, or is that just a Columbia thing?
Also, this dress is black velvet, if you can't tell, and I'm very excited about that.
Shirt: Thrifted; Dress: Vintage (altered by me); Shoes: UO; Socks: Target
I've got a warm, autumn drink to share tomorrow! Stop back by!
Love the black dress especially with the collar underneath.

Thanks so much Carlee! : )
Deletei died, i want a black velvet dress!! and that cute floral shirt under it was the perfect touch- i can see why you changed into it right away haha. and marc can NEVER find anything he likes at thrift stores, it's frustrating. it's awesome you finally found one with loot for matt :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know- it only took forever to find! Weird thing is, the store we found carries mostly ladies clothes, but what they did have for dudes, Matt liked quite a few things!
Deleteahh, I've done the same thing! You just get so excited to find something amazing that all the way home you're just mentally making countless outfit combinations....that shirt's wonderful, and I love it paired with the socks and the dress xx

You nailed it on the head, Shay.
DeleteAnd thank you! : )
I run in and change as soon as I get a new package. Even if it is just to try on the new item with the clothes that are already in my closet and then put it away, I get such a thrill from doing this! I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of, especially with a floral button down that cute.

Aw, thanks Ashlyn!
DeleteYou look so so classy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I ALWAYS have trouble finding guys clothes in thrift stores, especially since my boyfriend is a size small. I wish it were as fun for him to go to Goodwill as it is for me!

Eesh, yeah his being a small doesn't help either.
DeleteAnd Matt NEVER finds anything at Goodwill.

And thank you ma'am! : )
I LOVE the dress and the new-to-you floral blouse! I just thrifted a ankle length all black velvet dress, and I am hoping to hem that little baby up to look just like this, hooray! The knee highs are the perfect addition!
ReplyDeleteThis dress actually started out at ankle length as well! But I've been searching for one for forever, so I knew I had to nab it up regardless.
DeleteIt is super hard to find guy's clothes at thrift stores! I think it's that most guys wear their clothes to shreds, so they don't donate them. At least this is what I surmised when I worked at a thrift store.
ReplyDeleteThat actually describes my boyfriend to a T. Won't get rid of something or trade it until it's falling apart.
DeleteSo pretty! I love how you layered the look :)
