TST: Mad About Plaid

It's been awhile since I've posted a Thrift Style Thursday post!  Between the new job and my expanding waistline, it's been a little difficult to find time and clothes that fit the themes, ha.  Since I found out I was pregnant, I haven't let myself buy anything that I couldn't wear with a bigger belly.  So I missed a few weeks since I didn't have anything for the TST themes.  I've only bought 2 maxi dresses and a maxi skirt since May.  It's been difficult, but good in the long run.  However, I really think it's about time to start looking into maternity wear.

These pants aren't thrifted but I got them on clearance for about $15 at The Limited (to be honest I was surprised they still fit) and the top is from Ross.  Since the top is loose it almost hides the bump!

Oh hey, there's the bump ;-)

What I'm Wearing
Top ~ Ross
Pants ~ Limited
Shoes ~ Steve Madden
Necklace ~ Park Lane
Bracelets ~ Stella & Dot, Guess, and WHBM
Bag ~ Kate Spade

TST: Double Feature!

Happy Thursday!  I know I've been slacking a bit with my Thrift Style Thursday posts, and I actually had something for last week's theme, so I am posting pics for both last week and this week ~ a two for one! :)  Let's start with this week's theme of delightfully dainty:

Last week's theme, as most of you know, was Gothic!  This is my interpretation:

TST: Fab Florals

So, I know this post is really late, but better late than never I always say! ;-)  I have had a hard time keeping up with the blog the past 2 weeks, but hopefully it will be better going forward!  As I've said before, if only this was my main job... haha!

Anyways, I'm a big fan of skorts.  It's hard to find them in regular stores (I think golf stores tend to carry them more but they are overpriced there in my opinion).  I love them for going to concerts, especially outdoor ones where you have sit on the ground.  They offer the cuteness of a skirt but you don't have to worry about flashing anyone when you sit!  This outfit is, in my opinion, the perfect ensemble for an outdoor concert and/or music festival.  I'm going to a 3-day one in a few months, so I need to figure out what I'm going to wear!

I love the cute buttons along the edge.  I found this awesome bag in Chinatown many years ago when I was in San Francisco.  It's been one of my fave bags to take to concerts ~ crossbody bags are the best for that because you can just throw them on and not have to deal with them sliding off your shoulder.

What I'm Wearing
Top - Target
Skort - thrifted
Shoes ~ Bongo
Earrings ~ Betsey Johnson
Necklace ~ gift
Bag ~ Chinatown in SF

Check out how the other ladies styled their florals!

Thrift Style Thursday: Hats!

Unfortunately I do not own a thrifted hat, but I love hats and still wanted to participate this week.  This dress is thrifted though!  I love that it looks like a blouse and skirt, but is effortless as one piece.  I think this is one of my favorite outfits to date.

I have some weird tan lines going on with my feet right now, haha.  These shoes are about 6 years old, but still one of my all time favorites.

What I'm Wearing

Dress ~ Loft, thrifted

Hat ~ Anthropologie

Shoes ~ Steve Madden

Bag ~ WHBM

Necklace ~ Tiffany & Co.

Bracelet ~ groopdealz (similar)

I can't wait to check out how the other lovely TST ladies styled their hats!

Thrift Style Thursday: Nineties Nostalgia

Oh the 90's ~ a time of interesting fashion that is making a surprising comeback nowadays with crop tops and high waisted bottoms (not really a fan of either, haha).  I do like plaid though and a plaid top like the one below reminds me of the 90's.  Also check out these sweet shades that I found.  :)

This awesome mural is painted on the side of a cute little ice cream shop that opened recently a few blocks from where I live.  I love finding little gems like this around the city.  And even though cassette tapes were on their way out in the 90's, I thought it was cool that the mural had one!  I mean, what are the odds?  It was just too perfect for this week's theme.

What I'm Wearing

Cami ~ Limited

Plaid Top ~ thrifted

Jeans ~ WHBM

Shoes ~ Jessica Simpson

Sunglasses ~ thrifted

Earrings ~ my aunt made them!

Necklace ~ Tiffany's

Bracelets ~ Charming Charlie

Let's see how all the other ladies remembered the 90's!

Thrift Style Thursday: Brilliant Blazers

Happy Thursday, friends!  This week's theme is the blazer.  I think this little Jackie O. style jacket that I found is considered a blazer. :)  It seemed only fitting that I wear some big Jackie O. sunglasses with it!  I found both this jacket and dress on my last thrifting trip.

My fave part about this outfit ~ it goes from work to evening out simply by removing the jacket!  I love the textured layers in this dress.

Be sure to check out all the other lovely ladies' blazer looks!

Thrift Style Thursday: Cute n Quirky

I was really excited about my find for this week's TST!  It's a cute sundress with a funny beach themed pattern.  It has pockets too, which is a major bonus!  I wanted to take these pics at the beach, but unfortunately the weather was not cooperating.  Oh well. :)

Check out what all the other lovely ladies came up with for Cute n Quirky!

Shoes ~ given to me by a friend (thanks Carly!)

Earrings ~ Kate Spade

Bracelet ~ Express

Rings ~ Charming Charlie and the frog one was a bridesmaid gift (thanks Melissa!)

And speaking of cute and quirky (ok, maybe less cute and more quirky), last Saturday was the Houston Art Car Parade!  It's a fun event where people have done crazy artistic things with their cars (or built a car from scratch) and show it off in a parade.  People come in from all over the country and it's the largest art car parade in the nation!  In fact, Houston is the art car capital.  Pretty cool, huh?  Here is a sneak peek of a few funny cars that I saw.  Come back tomorrow for a round up of my favorite ones!

Thrift Style Thursday: Animal Print

I can't believe it is Thursday already.  The first part of this week really seemed to drag by and now all of a sudden it's almost the weekend! I went fairly subtle with this week's theme.  When thrifting, I found it hard to find animal print that doesn't look like it belongs to an 70's pimp! ;-)  It sure is fun to look at all of the options though.  I did find an awesome pair of dark denim with a subtle leopard print, but unfortunately they were too small.  So here is my animal print outfit.  The shoes were thrifted.

Check out how all the other lovely ladies styled their animal prints!
