How I Wear Thrifty Finds: 1 Skirt 2 Ways

I am always sharing what I find at the thrift stores with ya'll, but I never show you the outfits I make with my finds. I have not bought any clothing at a regular retail store in a very very long time. But I have some great pieces in my wardrobe and am able to make (in my humble opinion) cute outfits.
By thrifting, I am able to have way more quality options in my closet. I still have a very conservative amount of clothes. One of the great things about thrifting is that if I change my mind about something, I usually spend around $5 max, so the buyer's remorse is almost non-existent! Cost per wear on the items I love is just...WOW!

Here is a red skirt, at first, I wasnt crazy about it but I love the length and the lightweight linen feel, especially in this heat.

This is a "mommy on the go" look, great to mix in with all the shorts and tshirts I end up wearing. Simple, fun and colorful.
