A little quirky and a little chic!

A true thrifter can always appreciate a quirky piece of clothing and see the potential that it holds! That's exactly what I saw in this green and white striped blazer which reminded me of several things (lollipop, gum, amongst many other things). So to balance it out, I paired it with my FAVE navy pleated skirt and threw in my other fave colors, fuchsia & yellow. And the entire outfit sans the shoes & belt, is ALL THRFITED!!!!

Striking in Stripes



 (Dress-Taylor, avail at Lord & Taylor; Pumps- Jessica Simpson; Necklace & Bangles- H&M; Earrings- Ebay)

With the insanely hot weather that we've been experiencing lately, it has also provided a challenge in what to wear to work (especially, when you have a conservative dress code...a little exposure of the shoulders never hurt anyone!).
So, with me being the bargain hunter that I am, I could not pass up this strinkingly striped dress by Taylor (sadly, it's not vintage or thrifted, but still FAB & over 50% off the orig price). Once I saw it, I started to visualize how I would style it...my Jessica Simpson Royal Blue suede pumps would be perfect. But I'm not a fan of being matchy matchy so I had to throw in something unexpected....so in comes the neon accessories (oh how i am right on trend with the stripes & neon, and still somewhat work appropriate..a pashmina will cover those pesky arms while i am inside the office).
Enjoy :)
