What I'm Wearing: Cat Call

Today is one of those days that I am proud to say I am wearing thrifted/consigned clothing from head-to-toe. I honestly cannot make enough cases for thrifting or shopping consignment shops. I have found some incredible things for amazing prices. I would encourage everyone to Google thrift and consignment stores in your area and go check them out. Some will be great, others will not be. You just never know until you check it out.

On to the outfit. I adore this red skirt and wear it quite often (I've posted in it several times). A fun colored skirt can make an entire outfit. The vest I have on is genuine leather and was an exciting Goodwill find as it fits me like a glove. Don't you just love it when that happens. I chose to pair the leather vest and red skirt with one of my favorite trends: animal print. Love the tie neck on the top and let that peek out over the vest. I didn't wear any jewelry with this outfit today because leopard, leather, red and embellished shoes are quite enough on their own.

Is this a look you would rock?

Do you thrift or shop consignment shops?

  3. I love thrifting!! I've been buying a lot of my clothes on ebay lately. You can get gently used high end clothes for less than $10/piece!! There's no way I could wear some of the brands I do without ebay or plato's closet!! Glad to see other people do this too!

  6. Hi Kassi, I love this look! You know I am a huge fan of leopard and red so this is definitely something I'd wear! I have only just recently discovered the fabulousness of consignment stores. I did a post a few weeks back on my first shopping excursion and bought a brand new j.crew silk cocktail dress for $87, it is currently available for $200!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Your comments always make me giddy like a school girl on a sugar high. Leave your link so I can creep on you. The good kind of creeping. Not the kind where I hang your pictures in my room or anything. (awkward shuffle)

Fashionably yours,
