This sweatshirt type top has 3 details that make it more special.
1) asymetrical collar 2) color blocking 3) fabric covered buttons along cuff
Without these details this would be a more average and casual sweatshirt.
Thrifted for only $3.24 this is a cozy, warm, and versatile top. It can be dressed up a bit with a dressier style pant or worn more casually with jeans and even sneakers.

I've had this furry vest for 2 years now, but it still feels new because I haven't worn it very much. I do love it though. My goal (as I've stated many times, ha) is to #1 drastically curtail the thrifting, #2 over time eliminate more things from my current wardrobe, #3 thereby owning fewer pieces but getting more wear out of them.
One thing I have been wearing a LOT of lately are these black jeans. I actually have two pair of black jeans (in same size) by Forever 21 that are nearly identical.
I've put on a few pounds over the last few months (will be working on that come the new year) and so these jeans are one of the few pair that I like on me at the moment. I feel like they are in just about every outfit post these days, haha, but I'm just going to have to get used to that if I'm wanting to become more minimal. The bottoms will seem much more repetitive than the tops because I've got lot of tops, scarves, accessories, and cardigans that can be used to create many outfits...even if the bottoms are frequent repeats.

I thought this was a perfect scarf for the fall season and it matched my earrings and jacket so well.
I'm wearing just a basic dark gray tee with tan pants. Wearing a simple base and then adding interest with the scarf, earrings, bracelet, and jacket is my favorite way of dressing.
Shortly after I thrifted these loafers in 2012 the side seam busted open. These shoes were so soft and I loved them so much I decided to have them repaired. It only cost me $6 and so for a total cost of about $11 for the price of the shoes and the repair I feel it was well worth it because I wear them often.
