Welcome to Thrifty Threads, AKA Most Stylish Compact-y outfit, where readers model their favorite secondhand clothes.
A compact-y outfit is used or recycled, from Goodwill, a thrift store, a consignment shop, ebay, Craigslist, a yard sale, or anywhere else you find used clothing.
Today’s model is Casie, back for appearance #4 on Thrifty Threads. I think that qualifies as a regular! This time, Casie’s sporting a different look. Here’s what she says about it:
“As you will notice… I am rocking an apron. It is my new ‘thing’. I think an apron is underrated as an accessory. The apron is vintage and was given to me by my good friend. The dress and tank top underneath are thrifted and probably cost about $7 total. I have to admit I get some confused looks in this outfit, but I love it. It is lots of fun.”
I agree it’s lots of fun, and I think getting confused looks about it is fun too! Thanks Casie, for another cute photo, and for being such a consistent supporter of Thrifty Threads. Click here if you want to check out Casie’s previous appearances, and here to check out her blog called 100 Thingees. The title refers to a list of things she wants to accomplish (no, not before she dies!) that “might be fun, will make her better or smarter, that will make her giggle when she thinks about it, and won’t require a babysitter.” Plenty of items on her list make me giggle, and some have inspired me as well. If you like lists, you’ll love this one.
When I mentioned to Casie that I loved how her children seemed to make their way into all of her photos, she said her little guys follow her around like she’s Snow White and that sometimes it makes her feel like a rock star and sometimes she thinks she has the clingiest shadow in the world. Either way, it makes for funny pictures.
Okay readers, it’s your turn! It’s time to break out the summer duds, and put on your favorite secondhand outfit, snap a photo, and send it to me at barton.angela@gmail.com. Don’t be shy, keep those submissions coming! Many people tell me that Thrifty Threads is their favorite feature on this blog, so no matter how busy I am I try to make sure I’m keeping up with this segment. But I need my readers to keep it going!
