thrift shopper

blouse: pulse vintage, jeans & flats: thrifted, necklace: little boutique in new orleans

i purchased this necklace 

while in new orleans this past summer.

wearing it today made my feel quite nostalgic. 

visiting close college friends, 

attending a most beautiful wedding,

and exploring a new city - can i go back?

i can give or take the humidity however.

i wanted to share this outfit with you because

i purchased everything (aside from the necklace)

from various thrift and consignment shops.

the pants and flats are originally from j crew,

and likely retail for seventy-five or so dollars each! 

however, together, i paid less than thirty dollars at oh bella,

located on roosevelt.

i recently purchased the blouse online on etsy from pulse vintage.

i spent twenty dollars, 

but for the quality and beautiful colors and fabric,

i could have easily paid more. 

i suppose the point of this little post 

is to emphasize that you do not need to spend 

a fortune to dress the way you want.

if designer clothing and expensive brands 

are what you love, you can certainly find and enjoy that.

shopping on a budget, and finding

what you want to wear, can be done for less. 

i will share a few of my favorite 

local thrift and vintage shops with you soon. 

i don't know if this girl is ever going to pay full price again! 

xoxo.
