    Utility vest to transition into fall

    One of my most used vest in the fall is my olive utility vest. It is a few years old and I was inspired by Putting me Together to purchase one after she reshared a post with multiple ways to wear it.

    Since returning from our early summer trip to Europe, I have bought several items of clothing and dropped another load of clothes at Goodwill. With school starting in a few weeks, money is being spent on school supplies and new shoes. As I start thinking about new vacation destinations and an empty vacation account, I need to turn my efforts to saving! In that spirit , I am sharing my June thriftedchicstyle challenge outfits. All of these items were thrifted a while back but I haven’t worn them much at all or have always worn them in the same manner. One way to keep from spending money on new clothes…
