Target belt: thrift $2
The Limited purse: thrift $7
necklace: Forever 21 $10
turquoise ring: c/o World Market$0
bracelets: c/o World Market $0
sandals: thrift $4
Total Cost: $32

I got this top recently from the thrift store and I knew as soon as I saw it that I needed a pair of black jean shorts to wear with it! It didn't take long to find the perfect pair of vintage black jeans! I picked this pair because I love how they are already kind of worn/ faded and I like the high but not too high waist. Go here for my tutorial on how to make cut off jean shorts.

I promise this is not an advertisement for World Market but if you are an Explorer Member (it's free!) they send you a $10 coupon on your birthday! So every year I take my coupon and pick out a piece of jewelry c/o of Word Market! Last year I got the bracelets I'm wearing here and this year I got this turquoise ring!

Seeing this fringe purse is breaking my heart right now. My cat Harvey loves chewing on fringe- not that I let him. Harvey has been missing since Monday afternoon. We have done everything we can to find him but no luck. The waiting and wondering is excruciating. Please pray that he comes home soon! I'm so worried about him and I miss him so much.

So excited to be featured today on the gorgeous Kelsie's blog, Design Life Diaries!

  1. how do you keep track of your thrifted clothing items - like price and where you got them? i've been keeping track in a little notebook, but not sure that will keep working. do you make a spreadsheet or photo catalog?

    1. Goodwill has set prices so I just have to remember if it's from Goodwill or not. Otherwise, I write an abbreviated description of the item on the price tag then pull it off and save it until I make my post.

  2. Nice look! I like the open part of the back of the top and great idea about the jean shorts. I was never very succesful making jean shorts. :-)

  10. I love your outfit! I'm so impressed with your thrifty finds. Are you wearing a regular black bra under your sheer top, or is that like a cropped tank?

    I hope your cat comes home soon. :(

    1. Thanks Brita! It's sort of like a fashionable sports bra- I got it at Forever 21- it's super comfy on hot days and looks like a tank so no need for extra layers! I hope my kitty comes home soon too! Thanks again!

  11. Our cat went missing on my birthday, my husband was litteraly sick with worry. We searched everywhere, made posters and put them up all over. Three days later he came back, strolling in, and he wasnt even hungry. Damn cat had us losing our minds with worry and he was fine being taken care of somewhere..
    I hope your cat will turn up and also not even be hungry, you both are in my thoughts. Please post an update if he turns up.
