merry thriftmas!

'have yourself a merry little thriftmas'

today i am collaborating with my local value village 

to bring you 'ugly christmas sweater + holiday glam.'

sweater: thrifted (c/o value village), skirt: nordstrom (similar here),

tights: target, boots: dsw, clutch: jessica simpson (similar here)

do you have an ugly sweater party to attend this holiday season?

if so, value village is a treasure trove for sweaters!  tinsel, bows, bells, snowmen, 

trees and more -

you are sure to find your perfect, ugly sweater. 

i actually had the above sweater and an equally glamorous

red sweater in my shopping cart. i couldn't decide which was 

better (uglier?). ultimately, i couldn't leave the snowmen//spoons behind, 

so home we came. 

i wanted to be sure my sweater was the statement piece

in this outfit; and how could it not be?! thus, i paired it with 

my favorite velvet skirt, opaque tights, and black ankle boots. 

i have an ugly sweater party to attend next weekend, and i 

know the snowmen will be a hit!

during my shopping trip, i also picked up a holiday dress, 

black ballet flats, a trench coat, two flannel dresses, and brown,

oxford-style shoes all for under $100! 

value village is the perfect place to shop for your ugly holiday sweaters,

but they also have a large variety of everyday pieces

to spruce up your wardrobe - especially if you're on a budget (like me!). 

i feel fortunate to shop at value village because i know 

the money i spend, and any clothing and household goods i donate, 

is helping better my community. shopping to help others, while also 

doing good for the environment? that's something i can do!

xoxo.

**value village was kind enough to provide me with 

a gift certificate to purchase my holiday sweater. i had a wonderful time

creating this look and am grateful for the opportunity 

to collaborate with value village!
