Thrift Shop Series Part III: Winter Uniform

Sweater: Mac & Jac {thrifted}; Minnie Pant: J. Crew;

Scarf: Old Navy {thrifted}; Flats: Kelsi Dagger {old};

Earrings: J. Crew {old}; Ring: Kate Spade

  

It's just totally ridiculous that I scored that brand-spankin'-new-with-the-tag-still-on plaid scarf AND this mac & jac sweater while thrifting as a Fashion Ambassador at Value Village. Still can't get over it. I'm actually looking forward to hitting up a different store hopefully this weekend. New location = new finds! Right? This look is probably as comfy as it gets while still looking professional enough for work. This roomy and cozy sweater pairs well with tight, cropped pants and a sparkly pair of flats . . . might repeat this look a time or two. Happy Hump Day!

And so I introduce you to another one of my favorite finds while shopping at Value Village for my first thrifting experience (shared in this post here). I still can't believe that I scored this cable knit in my size. It was the only one there and the ONLY thing we found that was J. Crew. It was meant to be :) This cute and classic combo is destined to be on repeat for me throughout the holidays. Happy Tuesday! XO

Thrift Shop Series: Part I

About a month ago, Value Village reached out to me and asked if I would be a fashion ambassador for them. I was hesitant at first, considering I had never really thrifted, however I've seen the incredible finds that people have walked away with and thought this would be a fun opportunity to embrace the potential thrifter in me. So last Sunday, my friend K and I took a trip to one of the VV's near my home with $200 of VV gift cards in hand. I have to say, I was so glad K was with me because I was pretty overwhelmed in the beginning. She had a systematic way of going through the store since she had lots of experience at the VV in college, shopping for ridiculous animal sweaters and Halloween costumes.

In the spirit of Black Friday, I thought it would be appropriate to share my first thrifting experience with you. I came away with some great stuff, including the below: an authentic DvF scarf for $2.99 and a beautiful gold elephant head bangle for $7.99. I also scored an awesome J. Crew cable knit sweater in bright orange which I cannot wait to wear.

Can't wait to wear this!
