Little Rose

This summer has been extremely hot. I am taking a science class this summer so I don't have to take it during the upcoming school year as this will be my most busy year (I start teaching in classrooms this year!) Anyway, I have found that the easiest (and breeziest) way to dress for class this summer is to throw on a dress and call it a day. I found this dress for only $12 at the beginning of summer at Rainbow, which really has some goodies from time to time. I mean, they are known for having 2 for $20 shoes, sandals, and flats in all colors, where else can you find a deal like that? I've had this thrifted clutch since high school and I always find myself grabbing it in the summer. This particular day I had a lovely dinner with my friend Linda as well.

So what's thrifted? Clutch $1.99 

Have a lovely weekend,
Sophia

Summertime Chic

Thrifted: small black shoulder bag, LOFT shorts

When I encountered these shorts I could not have been happier! Cute, black, professional-looking shorts, that fit perfectly and had pockets? What more could I ask for! To make a more summery outfit  I chose a salmon top to pair it with. The top is from Rainbow and it is very light and airy with an interesting semi-open back. To tie it all together I chose this black necklace that I got while I was taking a class in Ecuador, and threw on my thrifted black purse. Super cute, comfy, and cool for a hot summer's day!

Fall Memories In New York

Hello! These pictures are being posted a bit late due to our hiatus but we are back and ready to keep you all posted. Being from Philadelphia, I do not live very far from New York City and have been there on a couple of occasions, but never before in the Fall. Let me tell you, it is absolutely gorgeous in the Autumn-especially Central Park. The colors of the trees ranged from oranges to yellow to maroon. It was absolutely beautiful. We saw PIPPIN on Broadway this same day because our college offers a deal where they take us to New York for the day and gives us a ticket all for only $20. Pretty sweet deal. We spent the day walking around and going into some shops. We wish we could have thrifted! We will have to plan a day exploring some thrifts in NY because I bet we would find some treasures.

So what's thrifted? Scarf

Always feel free to comment below!

Autumn in Central Park

Thrifted: colorful fall scarf

How lucky are we as college students to be able to spend a day in NYC and see a Broadway show all for $20.00! Sophia and I went and had a marvelous day! While there we decided to take advantage of the beautiful scenery in Central Park and we captured these beauties. Although my trench coat wasn't thrifted I got it at Kmart for such a low price. Originally $50.00 and I got it for $10.00!

Funky Foliage

Thrifted: floral print shorts

Hello everyone!  I was thrilled when I found this item and realized it was a pair of shorts rather than a skirt. Who doesn't love funky printed shorts! We apologize for the time we've been away, but we plan to get back on track.

Keep it thrifty,

Sarah

September Greens

Hello! It has been far too long since I have left a style post. I miss it very much. There is something about reflecting on past styles and outfits that is inspiring and very fun at the same time. This long knitted cardigan is my new favorite. I feel as though it will be a staple for every season for me. Lightweight for early Fall, spring, and summer! I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

So what's thrifted? Cardigan, belt, & dress. Other outfit details: booties Forever 21.

Step Into Fall

So I am going to start by saying no one has any idea how badly I have wanted booties like these. I am not into wearing heels around campus and always wished I could find a pair that are not too tall-then bam! I was surprised to find them at Forever 21 while out with my family trying on some bridesmaids dresses for my cousin's wedding. This scarf is one of my favorites and I bought it years ago in a little shop in Chinatown. Fall around campus is looking beautiful. 

So what's thrifted? Dress $6

Black and White

Finding an awesome skirt is awesome in general. It is even better when this skirt is only $4...and brand new. This is my favorite skirt that I own. It goes with pretty much everything and I'll never forget that I got it thrifted for $4 brand new with tags on it for $34.99. 

It's getting a little more chilly out here so full knitted sweaters and tights are a good way to stay warm :).

So what's thrifted? Skirt $4, Bag $4.

Hints of Prints

                 

Thrifted: cardigan and belt

Finally time to break out those cardigans and scarves!

Happy Autumn,

Rainy Day Daises

This dress is probably one of my favorite articles of clothing that I own right now. It's so fun and it's a good length. A lot of dresses coming out now are a little too short for comfort. Being more practical about length and making sure I will feel comfortable walking around the city or campus has saved me a lot of money when it comes to dresses. Whatever makes you feel comfortable! Anyway, this dress, which is from my favorite website ASOS, was originally $49 but I waited until it went on sale and got it for $19! 

I already had my outfit all ready for the day but when Sarah and I got up to go downtown....it was thundering and pouring. We refused to not go and threw on some boots instead. I felt a little weird for wearing boots in August but when I didn't have to worry about my feet getting wet....I was happy I wore them.

So what's thrifted? Bag $4, Belt $2. Other outfit details: Dress, Asos

Have a great day, 

Love,

   When I found this dress, let's just say it did not look like this. I found this at the Goodwill in the children's section, let's start with that. It was guaranteed to be more childish-it came with two huge puffy sleeves on each side. However, I couldn't put it back. The cut out back was speaking to me and I knew it had some potential. Therefore, it came home with me and I snipped off those sleeves and then actually used the sniped off sleeve as a belt to pull the dress in more at the waist because it had a higher waist to begin with. Don't ever put down something that you think has some potential! ;) This bag is also thrifted, a find that I wear quite often because I love the color.

I hope you are all feeling lovely
Love,
Sophia

Geometric Design

Thrifted: skirt and belt

I like the skirt's shape and the length, not too many skirts are this long. It's cute with an eclectic vibe. I also dig the pleats.

Watercolors

Thrifted: blazer and bag This is definitely a favorite dress of mine! It's so fun, colorful, and versatile. I just recently got the blazer at the thrift store and I love it! It's such a great color and its a nice material and fit.
