Good Week

Monday started off with a thrifty lunch to Gucci Goodwill, where I found 1 cashmere turtleneck sweater and 3...yes, 3...dresses!  Since this is only a 4 day work week for me, I decided to make the rest of the week Goodwill week, and wear each of my new-to-me dresses. 

Tuesday I sported my "new" Ann Taylor trenchcoat jacket dress, which still had the tags on it when I found this gem at Goodwill.  Yes, it bears a strong resemblance to the Raiders of the Lost Ark dress I bought a few weeks ago, but I just couldn't pass this one up.  I have to say, it kept me warm on my way to work today, even with the arctic front that blew in overnight.

Wednesday I wore the adorable black dress with white polka dots.  This dress fits me perfectly!  It has potential to become one the favorite things in my closet...empire waist, A-line skirt...super flattering!  I paired the dress with an oversized grampa sweater to tone down the playfullness of the pattern and a neon pink belt for a pop of color. 

 

The dress put me in a good mood all day, and made me think...every girl should have something with a polkadot pattern in their closet. I found all these lovely photos from the We Heart It website.  Talk about some polkadot inspiration! 

Thursday was my final workday of the week, so it felt like Friday as I rolled out of bed in the morning, already knowing what I was going to wear.  My final thrifty outfit of the week is another fun dress I found at Goodwill.  I love this Anne Taylor dress because it's super soft and comfy and versatile for Texas weather.  I can wear it on a day like today, paired with tights, boots, and a velvet blazer because the weather is cold.  It'll also work great in the Spring and Summer without so many layers.

I finished up the week...my Friday off, with a super chunky and comfy secondhand Free People sweater that I bought on EBay (of course).  All in all it was a good week!  I stuck to the challenge, and felt great about the outfits.
