Thrifty Thursday

 

As I mentioned in my in my "Revisiting my 2022 resolutions and setting my 2023 intentions" post, I have been crushing my goal of living a healthier life style. Now a "healthier lifestyle" encompasses a lot of things including diet, exercise, mental health, ect. For me, I've been working on it all and have been reaping the rewards! Yay!

Now let me be clear, I am very, very happy about this. However, my closet has taken a major hit. None of my clothes fit! So now I'm on the hunt to rebuild my colorful closet! 

I've always loved going thrifting but unfortunately living in a small, country town the selection is not great. And have you been to Goodwill lately?? They've lost their minds with their pricing!

That being said I'm no stranger to the online thrift scene. There's a lot of great options for tracking down items from past seasons, items that sold out (though I LOATHE resellers) or just finding a different size. I especially love a good deal, so I'm always on the hunt for those!

So as I rebuild my closet I'm going to share these "Thrifty Thursday" post to showcase all my finds! 

First dress up is from a Goop X Lilly Pulitzer collaboration done in 2018. I was excited to find this silk maxi- and at steal of price IMO. 

True to Lilly fashion- this maxi is very long. I could probably get away without hemming it if I wear some tall heels or wedges (as seen here). One of the cool features of this dress is that it is optional to have slits! Each side has a row of buttons that you can adjust if you desire one slit or two or none. I haven't seen this on any other dress before. 

This dress was found on the RealReal. They don't often have a lot of Lilly and I've had varying buying experiences with them. One time they tagged a dress right through a sheer panel and tore a hole in it.😖 Whyyy??

I must have been thinking pink because my next thrift find was this Lilly Darlah dress in Havana Pink Clawdia! I've been on the look out for this pink Darlah for awhile now and was pleased to find it on one of the facebook buy/sell/trade groups! I was even more smitten when it arrived to realize it wasn't paisely print but lobster print! 🦞

I definitely plan to track back down some of my favorite Kate Spade dresses but since it's sunny and summertime I've got Lilly on my mind 🌞
