My Thrifting Outfit: A Cardigan + Stripes

I've been getting pretty good mileage out of my striped 3/4 sleeve sweater this fall. It's the perfect thickness for the 60-something days, and layered with a cardigan, it's super comfortable!

I wore this outfit this past Thursday morning to hit up the local Goodwill for some 'new' pants. (I was partially successful!)

1980s Ray Bans, eBay ($14); Striped Sweater, Goodwill; Jeans, Goodwill; Leather Flats, Goodwill Outlet; Leather Bag, Souvenir from Italy Trip 2006; Plane Necklace, DIY; Cardigan w/ Belt, Kohl's (Gift from mother-in-law. Thanks!)
I just cleaned out my closet and found this awesome leather bag that I bought in Italy when my family and I were there four years ago! I looked at hundreds of bags in Florence before deciding on this buttery leather one, and I'll keep it forever :)

I also found these red flats I got at Goodwill Outlet last year. They fit perfectly, and I like how the pop of red looks with the navy blue!

I have to work this morning, but I'll be hitting up my fave thrifts after. I have a couple more little Christmas presents to find before Thanksgiving break, so wish me luck!

Always,
Amanda

  2. I'm so in love with stripes. I keep telling myself to stop buying so much, but it's totally become a "neutral" pattern for me. Love, love, love.

    I need to get with my Christmas shopping...
    Hope your thrifting was successful!
