Red Rock.



Skirt: Thrifted $3
Shirt: f21 via thrift store $1.50
Necklace: f21 via thrift store $3
Belt: Charlotte Russe $4
Ring: f21 $3
Shoes: Ross $9

Dressing this skirt was hard. When I bought it, I knew I loved it. I put that bad boy on and without hesitation added it to the keep pile. But, it's been in my closet for a while now and I've been avoiding it like the plague. I see it and instantly turn away, trying my hardest not to make eye contact. But, I felt creative last night and decided to try it out. I think I am adding it to my pile of my alterations, it may look even cuter slightly above the knee. P.S. it's a size 8, and I'm a size 0. So when thrifting, don't let sizes fool you. 

Speaking of thrifting, tomorrow will be a special day answering the question of how I typically approach the thrift stores. It's the number one question I am asked, so tomorrow, I spill my deep dark secrets and maybe take you on an adventure.

  6. Very cute pattern mixing! I do the same thing, buy something and then don't have a clue what to wear it with. I'm looking forward to your post on thrift stores!
