plunderings: Lifelong Thrift

At last, the first outfit post! Please pardon the (at times) terrible lighting and the amateur modeling...I hope it improves as I gain more experience. These outfits were all compiled out of the 7 items I purchased at Lifelong Thrift Store. Enjoy!

Outfit 1:

White hooded shirt, $4.49. Bought this on an "impulse" just because the shape is interesting...a little hard to translate into wearability.
Worn with: black american apparel tube dress, sam edelman wooden platforms, vintage gold bracelets.
Wear this to: a contemporary dance performance.

Outfit 2:

pink slip, $0.50. Knew this slip was too big, but couldn't pass it up for 50 cents. So, what do you do when something is too large on top? Throw a great scarf over and belt it!
Worn with: vintage scarf and belt, Michael Kors ankle boots with fringe.
Wear this to: Sunday brunch with friends.

Outfit 3:

Little boys Texas Rangers Tee (vintage), $2.49; ethnic print skirt, $0.50
Worn with: vintage belt w/silver buckle and detailed leather, early 80s woven flats.
Wear this to: Flea or Farmers Market (Carry with an oversized canvas bag).

Outfit 4:

black sparkle "dress," $0.50...yes I know this is similar to my other one, but this is a slinky material I couldn't resist (and only for 50 cents!)
Worn with: Michael Kors platform wedges and my maroon clutch which I think matches everything!
Wear this to: night on the town!

Outfit 5:


Printed blouse, $4.99, brocade skirt, $4.99 (the most expensive purchases of the day)...a perfect lesson in mixing patterns you wouldn't normally think to.
Worn with: vintage Wild Pair stilettos and black patent clutch.
Wear this to: Church (if you're daring), or a "casual" business lunch.
