Marvelous Darlin, for less

I am so not a 'fashion' expert or even what most would describe as 'fashionable'.  By far, I am NOT a model either.  Just a country gal that loves a deal and thrifting a decent work wardrobe; while adding in some fun weekend wear along the way.
I hope that by sharing what I am wearing each week, it will inspire someone that can't afford the ritzy department store prices to put together a Goodwill Glamorous outfit allowing  their inner light to SHINE!  Cause I believe you can look Marvelous Darlin, for less. It's all in attitude and how you 'work it'!
Thursday - Work and a Retirement reception
Talbots blouse, Goodwill - $3.99
Sag Harbor, floral skirt, Goodwill - $1.99 (half off, color of the week!)
Belt, Ross - last year
Necklace and earrings, Kohl's - last year
Slide in shoes, Aerosoles - couple of years old
Missed getting Friday's photo (but all Goodwill and another 'new' skirt!) & a haircut
Saturday - Family Reunion and a Co-workers Wedding
Not sure if this was a hit or miss.  The dress would probably look better with my fancy black heels and  hose.  However, my feet wouldn't have been happy chasing a 3 year old all day in heels!
Being practical won today.
Sag Harbor dress, Salvation Army - $2.99
Tights, Target - $3.00
Boots, Belk's - gifted
Necklace, Goodwill - $3.73
Earrings, Goodwill - $3.53
Bracelet - gifted 
Monday - Work
Hey, it was either me and the mirror or a 3 year old photographer today.
The mirror won.
Plain v-neck t, Target - years ago (I love 'dressing' these up!)
Animal print cardi, Goodwill - $2.24
Black slacks, Goodwill - $4.59
Necklace, Kohl's (last year on clearance)
Bracelet - Mudd @ Kohl's, brown, black version
Black leather belt (same one I always wear!), Goodwill - $2
Tuesday - Work day, after a restless horrible storm night
No power last night to pre-plan my outfit.  Here's what was quickly tossed together this morning.
Striped Merona blouse (isn't that a Target brand?), Goodwill - $1.99
Coldwater Creek lightweight sweater vest, Goodwill - $1.99
Madison slacks, Goodwill - $2.30
Belt - can you guess? Same fav Goodwill leather
Necklace, bracelet - Kohls
The blouse has a pale green stripe in it, that doesn't show up well in the photos.
Booger Bear walked a bride down the isle Saturday!  He's a bit young for marrying yet.
He would be the handsome boy on the left.
While getting my Saturday shot, he wanted to be a 'model' too.
Wearing an Old Navy button up shirt with navy OshKosh pants - Goodwill.
Linking my Booger Bear into Small Style (check out these stylish little ones!).

  4. Love your outfits! I'm thrifty but not in a thrift store way. Not patient enough for that. :)

  7. I love your "thrify" outfits. I don't have nearly the style or eye you do for putting things together, but I love it when I someone says something like "I love your jacket, where's it from?" And I answer "It's a Chico's", wait a moment, then say "and it cost me $3 at the thrift shop". I LOVE that I can find good name brands without the big price tags. I'll have to be more courageous about putting things together - you look fabulous!
