September Thrifted Finds: Adding Interesting pieces to your closet
I was so happy to find some really fun pieces while thrifting this past month. These were found on a shopping trip in Chattanooga, TN with my friend Rachel from @thefauxfrenchgirl. My goal is no new clothes till the end of the year and I will have a budget of $50 for thrifting for each month through December. If you are on a budget, shopping second hand is a great way to add interesting pieces to your closet.
Popover Top
We visited 2 stores, America’s Thrift store and the Northside Neighborhood House Thrift Store. I found this cute top and suede purse at NNHT which had a nice smaller shop feeling. I tried on quite a few pieces there including a couple dresses I took off of mannequins but most were too small for me! I couldn’t pass up this cute popover top though and I really enjoy neutral crossbodies so I knew I could get my cost per wear on the bag for $3!
Dress New with Tags
This dress was a nice surprise at America’s Thrift. I love the color and length! This is a true wrap dress and my half tank works perfect with it. I can see this all through fall and spring with all of my denim jackets and booties (can’t wait to wear it with my mustard jacket) and with sweaters and boots in the winter. A dress for 4 seasons!
Chambray Tunics
My mission was to find some chambray pieces so I was excited when the 2 first items I found were the following two chambray tunic length pieces.
I am wearing the chambray button down today in this exact outfit for traveling! I wore it during the week a couple weeks ago to see how I felt about it as a travel outfit. It received two thumbs up! Comfortable, coverage.. It is a great length and 2 slits on the side.
Interesting Accessories
The hat (not pictured) and necklace were inexpensive finds at the NNHT shop and I did get them off the mannequins too. They fit, lol!
I almost forgot these fun grey mules originally from Naturalizer. So easy to wear and quite comfortable.
How do you add interesting pieces to your closet? I love trying unique pieces 2nd hand!

Great finds this month, Mireille. How great was it to find your target item in chambray tunics that look terrific in two different denim washes?? Love the color combo and outfit with your new red popover and neutral bag.

That dress reminds me of one that I have in my closet with the colors/patterns. So pretty! I really love the tunic length of the chambrays tops you found! I always love a longer length in a top.

You really found some great items. I swear, it’s such a fun treasure hunt, and it’s rare not to find anything if you look hard enough.

I usually do pretty good. I just have to make sure I will wear what I find. Sometimes I thrift something and donate it the following year.

What a lovely collection of great funds, love the dress and oversized shirts.

Girl, red should be your signature color. You look just beautiful in that red popover. What a great find!! And check out your pretty, toned legs. Wow wee!!
My next favorite is that dress. You are right…it is a dress for all seasons. I remember your mustard jacket and have coveted it for myself. It is going to be so pretty with that dress. The length is perfect for you and it fits like a dream.
Just ordered a new chambray shirt from Loft. Years ago I bought one at the outlet. I need to add $5 to my purchases in order to qualify for 50% off on everything (or some such discount). The sales gal recommended I add a chambray shirt. And I did, thinking I might wear it once or twice. Oh, my gravy, I have worn the tail off that blouse. It was time to replace it.

Thanks, Leslie! I’ve been running pretty regularly so it pays off lol. I am wearing that dress with the mustard jacket for the Ageless post. I have worn several times now. I still don’t know how much I will wear the chambray button down but I do like it better than the ones I had thrifted in the past. It is a good layer.

Oh that maxi dress is wonderful! I haven’t been able to find as much time for thrifting as I used to since the kids are both in school and I’m working 5 days a week, but it’s something I’d love to get back to – you can find so many pretty bargains!
Thank you for joining the Weekday Wear Link up. Hope you are having a lovely weekend. It’s a very rainy day here!

Yes, I have found some great things but then I also have found things I was unsure about that I donated within a year so I am trying to be better at making choices.
