Wow what a crazy week. All these fashion challenges fell in the same week so this post will take care of several of them.

Color Brigade – My outfit mixes dark green, black and white.
Everybody Everywear – The challenge this time was colored jeans or pants.
Thrifters Anonymous – Incorporate a thrifted piece into your outfit.
Tresics Femme white scoop neck shirt from TJ Maxx
Dark green demin pants from Christopher & Banks (thrifted from my favorite boutique)
Nine West Mini Tunnel Crossbody handbag
Black patent leather heels – Liz Clairborne (similar)
Charm braclet – Claires
No Polyvore of the outfit as I couldn’t find most of the pieces online to create one but this is how the outfit turned out for me. I definitely wish I’d had a chance to find a brightly colored scarf or statement necklace for this outfit but I had no luck at all with the colors I was working with.
Stop by and participate in some of these fun challenges with me!

The outfit turned out nice! If you are looking for a statement necklace, I would suggest a metallic (gold or copper, to accent your bracelet). I had to laugh at the “thrifted” part of the challenge – you would be hard pressed to find anything in my closet that ISN’T thrifted! And most of my clothes are very nice brands (Chico’s, Coldwater Creek, Ann Taylor). The thrift store we shop has fantastic sales on Sunday; depending on the color of the tag, you can get 5 items for $1.
SHoes…YAHHH! Cute!
Yep, needs some color but I still like it ALL as a basic outfit. Now layer in a vest, some jewelry and you are on!
The CHief BLonde!
Mary you are so lucky! We have three thrift/consignment stores in my area. Two of them have mostly junk with a very random good find. Thankfully there is one boutique style consignment store that has really nice brands in one corner of the store. I check there several times a week and thankfully am starting to find some nice clothes. Other than that, I generally rely on TJ Maxx.
LOL Shelley – I now own two pairs of heels 🙂 One I am still searching for the perfect outfit for. I never even thought of a vest. That would work too. Will keep my eyes open!
