Thrifted Thursdays - Patterned pieces



Last weekend I hit up some of my favorite thrift stores. As promised today I plan to show you a few of the pieces I picked up. The items in todays post were all thrifted from the Salvation Army. I will share my other thrifted finds from the Village once I return from Japan.



As always, the mischievious Pea jumped in to some of my shots. The items I picked up last Thursday include a paisley maxi dress, polka dot boating blouse from Ann Klein, checkered top, and polka dot dress from Forever 21.

I can't wait to style all of these pieces in upcoming wardrobe posts. My favorite item of this lot would have to be the never worn (still has it's original sales tags attached from who knows how long ago) polka dot boating blouse from Ann Klein. The blouse has the sweetest neckline ending in a bow. I can't wait to wear it. I am debating whether or not it would be too much to wear on my trip to Japan... we will see. I really hope to get some fun wardrobe shots while on vacation.

Have a great day everyone!

  13. I love that maxi dress! I don't think it would be too much for Japan, just pair it with more muted pieces or more classic pieces. I say PACK IT, you never know!

  18. Beautiful pieces! I'm so impressed with people like you that can find amazing steals at thrift stores. I know that I can do no such thing. I want to come and raid your closet sometime! Love the blog- I come across a lot of fashion blogs but rarely do I feel like the person actually has great style and I feel that yours definitely does!
