My points go to the very first outfit.  Style is right on.

@MacDuFF - May I just say you look fabulous in all three outfits?  You really have a wonderful sense of style.

@Effie54   @GingerHead    I can't even tell you how much money thrifting has saved me.  Plus, I can try different styles, colors, brands, and, if I end up not liking them, what have I lost...$5ish?  I'm wearing a pair of jeans I bought at a beach boutique earlier this year on sale for $55.  I just don't like them, but I'm forcing myself to wear them this summer so I'll feel like it wasn't a total loss.  Had I thrifted them for $5, they'd be gone hahaha.

 

Hi @Kachina624   A departure from my usual...exactly!  I'm not about to give up my usual uniform, that's for sure, but variety is the spice of life.  (All red accessories.)

 

@kate2357   Handsome thought it was a jumpsuit.  Yes, give me a pair of jeans and a button front blouse in any color, and I'm happy.  If you don't carry a purse, what do you put your "stuff" in?!

 

@MoJoV   @happilyretiredgirl   I've always loved black with a light or midtone denim wash.  

 

Hi @DSD2  and thank you.  Heart

 

@QVCkitty1   The "usual" is just so effortless for me now with the "curated closet."  Thanks!

 

Thank you @qbetzforreal   Heart

 

Thanks @Terrywu  Heart I just had to have that set...to heck with the low-buy thrift only thang!  Who thought of that stoooopid challenge anyway?  Oh yeah, it was silly me.  haha

If I am just running errands, meeting a friend for coffee or lunch, I just take my phone, car fob and a lippie. My phone is in a case with id, cards and cash.

 

If I am going to be gone for more than a few hours I might carry a small cross body bag.

I love comfortable clothes and the first outfit certainly fits that bill.  You look lovely in it and it is such a pretty design!  I love gauze tops and have several.  They are my go to in the warm weather.  Your black top is very appealing.  Cool and comfy fashions that look good on you !!!!

The third outfit is my favorite.  I love a good rich black top with lighter jeans and this combo is perfect and you've accessorized it well!

@MacDuFF 

Well, look at you, my stylish cousin! 😄 All your outfits are terrific. I like outfit #3 the best. You know how much I love color, but the black blouse with the light jeans really caught my eye. Tres chic!

(Of course, I love the black bag, too. I am a handbag girl for sure.)

The embroidered jeans in outfit #2 are great. It's a nice subtle touch.

There are very few thrift stores near me so I end up at Marshall's and TJ MAXX. I have found some great inexpensive pieces~it's seems like thrifting to me.

Keep up the good work.
