Thursday Thrift Score: Refash Reload

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. I'm out of thrift score blazers. So instead today, I'm going to show you a different way to style my circus skirt, recently refashioned from a blazer. Rather than keeping the rest of the outfit neutral with a black blouse and black boots, and since the weather has warmed up again, I decided to go for a more spring-worthy look with a sequined turquoise tank ($2 thrifted) and some yellow cut-out ballet flats (Target clearance $5ish).

Then I can just toss on a white cardigan, and I'm all set for work! I still like the black outfit from last week, but this combination seems much more fitting for the skirt's obvious personality.

  2. This is adorable on you! The colors are more flattering than the black with your coloring. The shoes totally take it up a notch. You can't call this a circus skirt anymore

    1. Thanks, Theresa! I suppose it has earned the right to not be called "circus skirt" anymore. I'll come up with something better. ;)

  3. Yes, I think this color combination is the best- it brings out the color in both the skirt and your skin tones. And those shoes...great choice! Cute! :)

    1. Thank you, Desarae! I don't really have much color in my skin anyway, just white, but I can see how black might not be so flattering in that case. ;)
