Every week, I’m sharing some of the thrifted outfits I’ve worn the previous week. My goal is to show you that you can be stylish, frugal, and green, all at the same time!

Another round of thrifted outfits for me to share this week! Apparently, I’m in my “wear black” phase again. I do have colors in my wardrobe, though they didn’t show up in these pictures. I do find myself wanting to wear darker colors in the fall and winter though I tried to reduce the black with the second outfit.

What I Wore: Thrift Style

I wore this outfit while running around on Saturday. The black Gap top and Banana Republic pants (yes, a favorite) came from Goodwill. The shoes are Anne Klein from the DSW clearance rack.

These earrings came from a Premier Home Party I attended a few years ago. I love them though I’m not always sure what to wear them with.

What I Wore: Thrift Style

I had fun putting this one together for mass on Sunday. I’ve decided to make Sunday my dress-up day to ensure that I wear more of the clothes in my wardrobe. The H & M skirt and Anne Taylor Loft top are from Goodwill. The Gap jacket is from my sister, and I bought the Hannah Andersson boots on sale a few years ago. I’m not sure where the black necklace came from, either Premier or Kohl’s. The earrings are from Premier.

Where do you like to shop?

Wow! Your GoodWill has nice clothes!!! One just opened here and I’ve checked once or twice, I think it must be sort of hit and miss depending on what comes in.

Our Goodwill is near a wealthier area. The one in the more middle class area has fewer expensive brands.

Yeah, you do have to go through a lot to find the gems. I try not to bring the kids when I go so I can focus better.

I bought 2 of them, the green one, and a rusty orange one. Maybe I’ll wear the orange one next Sunday.

Great finds! I’ve been teaching my 12-year-old stepdaughter the art of finding treasures at Goodwill. Thanks for sharing.

I’m a bit worried about my husband and the camera. He’s not my usual photographer.
