I love prints — and finding them in a thrift or consignment shop is really exciting for me. I know for many people, prints can be really intimidating. However, I have to tell you, prints bring an outfit to another level for me. I found this beautiful print skirt at the Salvation Army for $4.00. The print is funky. The colors are gorgeous. The length is perfect. And the price is FABULOUS!!!!
I have said it before, but will continue to repeat myself. Trying out a new style or trying something out of your comfort zone is a lot easier when you purchase the pieces from a thrift or consignment shop. For one, if you enter a thrift shop you can probably spot so many trends, patterns, prints and styles in a few minutes. Second, if you do decide to try something new, you are surely not going to spend a lot. Lastly, if you do realize that trying new things are not always bad, you can always head back to the thrift store to find more items at a very reasonable price.
I added this cute “Hi-Bye” tee with the skirt. The blues in the skirt are identical to the blue tee which I purchased at Ross Dress for Less on clearance (of course :)) for $6.99. Such a cute tee, won’t you say?
Colorful print and colored tee, of course I needed to go with the nude pumps. I wore these nude pumps here before. These I.N.C. International Concepts pumps were a definite steal at Macy’s. Found in the clearance rack section, with an additional 30% off due to a close out sale, and a 10% off because I used my Macy’s credit card, I got these pumps for $14.00. Yes ma’am, SCORE! They are actually very comfortable with soft padding. I completed the outfit with some accessories which I also thrifted in various locations over the years.

Have you given prints a try yet?
I am one of those that is intimidated by prints. You can rock them though! That looks great on you and you can’t beat that price!
Stefany,
Don’t be intimidated. Prints can be a little daunting at times but with the right top, you will come to love them.
What a fun skirt and I love the shirt.
Karissa,
Thank you!
You’ve nailed it again, chic! This shade of blue looks amazing on you! I love the print and color combo of the skirt. I would have never thought to pair it with a graphic tee…probably would have went with a red top but I LOVE that tee with the skirt! Takes it to a whole other level!

Auw, those shoes are great with the unexpected cut out on the side. And the skirt? I think I fainted a little 😉 Wonderful find, I love it.

I love that “hi” shirt, so cute! And the skirt is paired perfectly with it. Cute outfit!
Chelsea,
Thank you! When I saw the shirt, I definitely could not pass it up. The price was also pretty much on target for me to get it.
That is a great way to try out trends! And I feel like thrift stores have pretty regular sales, so you can find them for even cheaper! Very cute outfit!
Maria,
Yes – I was actually very surprised at just how many sales a thrift store runs even with the very low prices. Thank you for stopping by the blog.
Hi back at ya! That’s a great print. You look great!

I think everyone can find similar great finds at thrift stores if they give it a chance. Thank you stopping by.
Yeah it’s official, you can do no wrong. This outfit is fabulous!!
Rebekah,
Hahaha. You are too sweet.
Great tip! It is easier to try new styles when you don’t have to spend a lot of money to do so. Awesome deal on the shoes.
Sonya,
Yes – absolutely! There are a lot of styles in your thrift stores, that there is really no reason to pay too much for a style you may or may not like.
Love this outfit! This is so fun! And those heels are terrific!
Susan,
Thank you! I still can’t believe how much I got those heels for. Crazy — gotta love the clearance racks though.
You are fabulous at finding treasures!!
Maryann,
It just takes a little bit of patience and luck. Thank you for stopping by.
I love the whole outfit! I will admit, I am not much of a thrifter. And I don’t know why since I’m like ALL about bargains. I think I’m going to have to make some time soon to go find myself awesome like your skirt!
Trish,
If you are all about the bargains then you definitely need to give thrifting a chance. The bargains to be had in a thrift shop are unreal!
Great job pairing the prints, the outfit looks fab on you !
Jessica,
Thank you for your sweet compliment! I think the colors allowed the pairing to be easy.
Love that skirt – the print looks fabulous on you!
Jenn,
Thank you. It is a fun and easy print isn’t it?
I am like a moth to a flame when it comes to prints! I love them!!!
This skirt is great! That shirt is just AWESOME!!! I think it would be really cool to see the skirt mixed with another print!
Great finds!!!!
Liv,
Yay!!!! Another print lover..lol. I have mixed the skirt with other prints and fantastic look as well! Thank you for stopping by.
I usually play it safe with prints, but I should reconsider. This is really classy. Love it.
You should definitely reconsider not wearing prints. There are some “safe” prints anyway! Try it out by heading to your nearest thrift/consignment shop. If you hate it, you would not have wasted a lot of money.
That skirt is gorgeous!
Jemma,
Thank you! I was so excited when I saw it at the thrift store.
Fabulous! I love the pattern on the skirt and Hi! Bye! Tee. Super Cute!
Adanna,
Thank you for stopping by! You should definitely check out Ross for some super cute tees.
Such a great skirt!!! Love the prints and the light blue top complements the skirt pretty well. Gorgeous!

Thank you Tatiana. Don’t you love it when an outfit comes together, where the colors blend so well!
Love the tee with the skirt! Need both in my wardrobe! So pretty!
Kristine,
Thank you. I am very sure that you can probably still get the tee at Ross. The skirt, well you might find something very similar in your nearest thrift/consignment shop. Happy hunting.
Love that skirt, and the shirt makes me smile.! I love a good print, so this outfit is perfect in my opinion!
