Missys' challenge

I got a challenge from my friend Missy the other day.  She gave me this picture...

 

...and asked me to recreate it!  Obviously, this just seemed fun to me, so I accepted with a smile and quite a bit of excitement.  I hit the Goodwill to find the two pieces I didn't have at home, the sweater and the scarf.

 

 

I found the sweater in the men's section, for $4.  The scarf is an infinity scarf which I love.  Want to know my fun little trick for getting these thrifted?  I buy a t-shirt or dress in the color I want and cut straight across under the arms...ta-da, infinity scarf!  This one was a dress, that I cut off at the waist.  It was $2.50.  I found a black pair of leggings for $2.50, but didn't buy them because I had black skinny jeans at home.  It wouldn't be thrifty to buy the leggings if I had something similar already would it?

 

 

The boots, bracelets, and clutch were in my wardrobe also. 

 

 

 

My black skinny jeans are from Target and I bought them for $28 they are a wardrobe staple for me.  The price for EVERYTHING I am wearing comes to about $46.50, but it would have been $21 had I bought and used the leggings I saw at the Goodwill.  I didn't use sunglasses because it is overcast today, but I have a great pair that I bought for $1 last year, that I would have used for this look!

 

In total, the two pieces that I purchased specifically for this outfit came up to $6.50.  Great price for a new fall look right?  How close do you all think I came to the inspiration picture?

 

Thank you Missy for the challenge, if you want the sweater I will mail it to you, it is Tommy Hilfiger!  I appreciate you making my life and hobby so fun, and always supporting me in it!

 

Of course, to my readers, thank you for reading, commenting, sharing, pinning, and enjoying my blog!
