Thrifty Threads: Celebrity Edition

September 2, 2010 by Angela Leave a Comment

Hello readers! In preparation for my return to blogging next week, I just had to share this tidbit I saw in the news: “Drew Barrymore’s $25 Red Carpet Hit.”

Drew Barrymore shops secondhand!

Here’s the blurb that goes along with the photo:

Talk about mixing high and low fashion! What did the adorable Drew Barrymore choose to wear to host the Nylon magazine/Express party this week in Los Angeles?

This gorgeous $25 metallic-printed 3/4-sleeve shift dress from a thrift store paired with $760 Yves Saint Laurent “Tribute” pumps, of course! I love the 1960’s vibe she’s got going on; the psychedelic print, the cut, and the pumped-up voluminous feel of her hair is a total win.

It’s so refreshing to see someone mix it up and have fun with fashion. Just last month she made an appearance in an Oscar de la Renta runway dress–a far cry, financially, from an Austin, TX thrift-store find.

Don’t you love it when vintage Drew — the irreverent, quirky, girl power praising, throw-a-daisy-in-her-hair Drew that we all idolized in the 90’s–steps out on the red carpet?

How reminiscent of a Thrifty Threads post. Well, aside from the red carpet and the $760 YSL pumps, of course. There’s no doubt that secondhand fashion is all the rage.

I’ll be back to blogging next week, see you on Tuesday!

About Angela

On January 1st, 2009, I joined The Compact and pledged to Buy Nothing New for one year. It sounded like the perfect way to converge my desire to live on less money with my interest in living a simpler life and trying to lessen my carbon footprint. The experiment was so rewarding that I'm continuing with it indefinitely. This blog documents my journey in non-consumerism.
