It’s the first Thrift Sisters Link Up of the year!  Yes, Keren Charles of Two Stylish Kays and I, took a little mini holiday break, but we are back and very excited about showing off some awesome thrifted styles this year.  We are starting off the 2015 Thrift Sisters Link Up with fur vests.  Please check out Keren’s blog to get the details of this real fur vest that she scored for only $2.95.

This is definitely a date night outfit!  I scored this faux fur vest at a local San Diego Salvation Army for $6.00 last year.  To be honest with you, styling this vest is difficult for me.  I am always uncertain as to whether there needs to be a certain color that must be paired with the vest.  However, once this outfit came together, I was really happy and satisfied.

If you have been following my blog, you know that I tend to gravitate towards color.  However, in this outfit, I went with all black, using the faux fur vest to be the “pop of color”, although quite neutral.  Since San Diego is still quite warm, I was able to get away with wearing these vegan leather leggings from DailyLook for $22.00 after using some holiday coupon codes.  I have to say, I LOVE these leggings.  Perfect fit, and I can see just how versatile they can be when it comes to styling.

I recently visited Las Vegas and of course, I had to check out the thrift scene near The Strip – and I was not disappointed.  I went to Savers, a huge thrift store with many locations, except in San Diego.  I probably should be glad there isn’t one very close to me, or else I might spend way too much time there.  The place had an awesome selection at great prices.  It’s also the place that I found this beautiful sheer black blouse with sequin cuff details for only $6.25.   Another piece that can be so versatile.

It’s awesome to live in San Diego, where you can still rock open toe heels in January!  Not bragging, just stating a sweet fact.  I thrifted these Guess heels from Valley Thrift in Escondido, CA.  I highly recommend a trip to this store if you are in the area.  I love that these heels are so different with the animal print, they are comfortable (seriously) and of course, paid only $16.00.  Yes, you can say it with me — that’s a SCORE!

Completing the outfit is my statement necklace that I purchased a long time ago at a farmers market for $10.00.  Yes, I am always on the look out for a bargain.  The clutch was purchased from Ross Dress For Less for $8.00 in the clearance section.
