Anyone who knows me will tell you that the only thing I love more than a great outfit, is a great outfit on sale. Some of my earliest shopping memories are of my mother and I combing through estate sales looking for hidden treasures. Now when I see a sign in the yard, its almost instinct to immediately pull over. Such was the case several years ago when I happened across one such sale and bought this knit skirt. At the time I had no idea how I would wear it, but it was cool and $8-sold. After collecting dust in my closet for quite some time*, I finally realized that this skirt really should be a strapless dress. Once I added the denim button down (a style steal in it’s own right at only $25 from h&m), it quickly became one of my favorite things to wear.
Have y’all had any fun estate sale or thrift store purchases lately?

Dress: Vintage Skirt from Estate Sale. Shirt: h&m (similar). Shoes: RED Valentino. Clutch: Vintage Louis Vuitton via Portero. Sunglasses: Karen Walker. Necklace: Madewell (similar). Arm Candy: Lily and Laura via Ellys Couture, J.Crew, Bfrend by Monika. Rings: Alex Monroe and Ring’s Eclectic via Ellys Couture.
*I’m a firm believer that every item will have it’s time. And until that time happens, holding onto things that I have yet to wear should NOT be considered hoarding. Just saying, SideSmile.
great look! I love your clutch!

I like the casual look of the knotted denim shirt! Casual but chic!
That skirt/dress is great! I love deals too, but am completely clueless to vintage shopping.

That dress looks really great worn as a skirt with the chambray/denim over top – and knotting the top adds the perfect casual touch.

I totally agree with your motto! I keep all my designer things, ever when they go out of style…if not for me, than for my daughter when she gets older. Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my Statement Necklaces for Less Than $50:)

It's so true — Every item does have its time. I don't hoard clothes; I collect them. Sooner or later, I wear them all.
P.S. LOVE that skirt.

I love that skirt so much–what a great find! I'm the same way with clothes–I'll hold onto something for years before I wear it. One time a friend even forced me to put dated post-its on clothes and if I hadn't worn them in six months, I had to donate them (seasonal weather aside).
