thrift star of the day: Pocahontas goes to Studio54



dogpark tomfoolery, originally uploaded by sjwhidden.

sjwhidden is the most fash-tastic mother this side of the solar system. This outfit is brilliant.
Happy Mother’s Day, oh maternal ones.

thrift star of the day: simplicity rules

A well-fitted sweater vest and jeans is aphrodisiac city. Plainly.

thrift star of the day: urban cowgirl



Chingolingas!, originally uploaded by TheVintageSocietyGirl.

This outfit would be equally at home on a NYC sidewalk and an apple orchard excursion. Genius.

thrift star of the day: brass button baby



5-3-08, originally uploaded by Sally Jane Vintage.

Given the fact that lately I’ll buy anything that dons brass buttons, the only thing that would render this outfit even more perfect is if there were a butt flap in the back with ever more brass buttons. Y’know? I’m thinking practically here.

thrift star of the day: who loves short shorts?

cut-offs
Apparently it’s me. Something about wearing cut-offs with long sleeves and feminine details just makes them seem so… effortless. It’s like the equivalent of throwing a frumpy sweater over a slightly frilly dress - it adds a nice touch of don’tgiveafuck.

Oh and i suddenly want to mate maryjanes with oxfords and make them have lovely, flesh-colored spawn.

thrift star of the day: demure daisy dukes



Smell the Flowers, originally uploaded by non no yes.

This is perplexing on so many levels! Loving the contrast of prudish, high-necked frills and scandalously short cut-offs. Prim and feminine juxtaposed with slightly trashy. Nude chiffon with eggplant corduroy.
Joy.

thrift star of the day: prairie dawn



outfit Wednesday 30th April 2008, originally uploaded by night.owl.

This is a perfect illustration of my thrifting advice regarding context. See this hanging on a rack in a thrift store and, yeah its cute, albeit a bit Laura Ingalls. But put in on a pretty girl with a chic, edgy haircut and sleek boots and it’s ferociously demure.

thrift star of the day: victorian school marm with a twist



red sash, originally uploaded by stellardolly.

My first reaction when I saw this was, “Gah! It’s perfect! How does she do it?” and then after I read her blog I was relieved that I wasn’t the only one who changes her pants 6 times before she leaves the house. Good call on the dark wash cigarette jeans, they’re sufficiently sexy enough to contrast with the victorian school marm tendencies of the rest of the outfit and lend just enough casual je ne sais quoi to make it all seem effortless. Bravo.

thrift star of the day: forties -inspired



Remixd: Uncomplicated., originally uploaded by sherbet tone.

Ah, Sherbet Tone. High-waisted flared tap shorts with ferocious platform pumps? Be still, my envious heart. It’s the perfect execution of the 40’s pin-up in a modern way. Plus? It’s ALL THRIFTED.

Time to stop complaining about your lack of Visa funds; this is how easy it is to dress like an Anthropologie model.
