pattern trends + thrift stores

I am definitely open to wearing many various trends, but sometimes I do have to take my time to jump in.  Patterned pants is just one of them.  But, this is where being a thriftaholic comes in very handy.  I can experiment with various trends without breaking the bank.  If in the end, I truly cannot adapt to a particular trend, look or style, I am not too upset that I spent $2-$10. Yay!   I found these patterned H&M pants from Thrift Traders in San Diego for $5.99.  When I saw it, I immediately knew that I had to have it, and thanks to the thrifting gods, it fit perfectly.  This beautiful white BCBG jacket was hanging in the men’s section of a Washington DC Goodwill.   Yes, I did say the men’s section.  Here is a tip  to all who aspire one day to be a thrifting expert.  Shop the entire store, every section, every nook and cranny.  You never know what you will find.  When I spotted this beautiful jacket, I literally stifled a scream.  The price tag, $4.25.  Add, a military discount and I felt like I was stealing.  I paired the jacket and pants with a bright fuchsia silk blouse.  I love color and a pop of color with the blue and white screamed YES in my head.   I added some ankle strap silver heels to complete the outfit and I was ready to step out rocking the pattern trend with such cute thrifted pieces.

Is there a trend you would like to experiment with?  If so, head to your nearest thrift store and do exactly that, experiment for LESS!

    • Kelly,
      Thank you! I wasn’t too sold on patterns at first. However, I knew that thrifting these looks would definitely be easier on the budget rather than buying them at the mall. Continue to follow me as I try out various trends using the thrift stores as my first stop.

  2. Great Look,

    I too am a thriftaholic and simply LOVE this new found venture. It is definitely very theraputic and I can’t imagine life without it. Continued success on your blog and trift journey!!

    • ceecee,
      Thank you for leaving a comment. Therapeutic is definitely a great word for it! Not only is the thrill of the hunt fantastic, but knowing that I am hardly spending lots of money adds to the cherry to the top. Hope you continue to follow me through my various therapeutic finds.

  3. I really need to get some pants with some prints! Thanks for the inspiration!
