Thrifted Trends: Lady In Red Pants and Leopard

Tuesday, January 17, 2012


What I Wore: Top- St. John's Bay (B & R Thrift Store) seen HERE/Pants- ACT III(B & R Thrift Store)/Clutch- Shirl Miller LTD(B & R Thrift Store)/Shoes- Steve Madden (Marshalls)








I wore this to church on Sunday and then to my brother's Birthday Brunch. The entire outfit is thrifted, except the shoes. I really have a hard time thrifting shoes. I wear a size 9 and of course I see every size except the size that I need. I must admit red is not one of my favorite colors, but I wanted to try out the red pants trend. It was a minimal investment and after seeing these pictures, I don't look too bad in red. I may have to add a few more red pieces to my wardrobe. What do you think? What color is lacking in your wardrobe?

  16. You look great in the red! Red is also that color that I can't get into. I actually don't think I have any red... I have a red handbag. Does that count? :-) Adding color to my closet is a work in progress for me. I naturally gravitate to dark colors. Maybe thrifting is the way to go for my stepping out the box color pieces.
