This morning I wanted to share some of my thrift finds. I have been doing Thrifting for Treasure for a while now, and I used to simply post pictures and write short descriptions of the items that I bought, but today I decided to also find additional ideas on how to style my finds. Hope you enjoy it!
1. High waisted wool skirt with pleats and pockets
How to wear:
With a white top and some pearl accessories! That skirt is your best bet for the office. You can keep chap-stick in your pocket too
2. Oversized striped AX sweater
- with skinny jeans, leggings, jeggings, or very VERY thick tights!
- with shorts, just make sure they are showing!
Oversized sweaters are perfect when you want to draw attention to your legs! And when you have great legs to show, what can be better?
3. Red high waisted skirt
This skirt was bought as a DIY project in mind. It’s a maxi, which will be turned into a mini. The rest of the fabric, which by the way is a fabulous shade of red, is going towards my other DIY projects and will probably be turned into some hair accessories and a clutch!
How to wear:
- with a white top, like Lauren Conrad
- with a striped top, like Taylor Swift
With cowboy boots, like Ashley Olsen, Jessica Alba and Miley Cirus


I spent a total of $14.46 yesterday, the AX sweater and the red coat were half-price, the skirts were $1.99 each. And the dress was $4.99
ALSO: I have mentioned this on my FB page yesterday, but if you are in Minneapolis, look for this:

Happy Thursday! And Happy Thrifting!
