Thrift Style Thursday - Color Pop

I was all over this week's theme for Thrift Style Thursday, brought to us by Kristi from Delightfully Kristi - Color Pop!  What a wonderful and awesome way to brighten up these long final winter days! And let me tell you, winter sure has been showing it's ugly head round here these last few days! Another reason I was excited about this week's theme is that I've been working on putting more color into my wardrobe over the last couple of years and I finally feel like I'm getting there.  I used to wear so many neutrals, especially in winter, and I've really worked to change that.  Today I have two outfits to share.

This first look highlights some more colored pants I was lucky to find.  Both the pink top and pants I found at the very awesome local consignment shop b. (a resale shop).  If you're local to Minneapolis and you haven't been to this store, you need to go.  Anyway, I bought these things at the same time and didn't even intend to wear them together, but they ended up looking nice together, so I decided to make them into an outfit!

This next look also features some colored pants of mine that are not thrifted, but I paired them with some items that are thrifted.  I had shoved these mint pants into a storage bin for the winter but then thought about it and decided, why not wear them in winter?  They'll give a nice fresh feeling!  And I couldn't believe how nice they paired with this sweater I got at a swap a while back.  It makes the sparkle in the sweater pop I think!  Added my favorite thrifted jean jacket for extra warmth and I was good to go!

These bright colors may have me longing for spring, but they're definitely brightening up winter for sure!  What are your favorite ways to add color to an outfit?  And make sure to check out my fellow Thrift Style Thursday friends at their blogs below for more colorful looks!

Thrift Style Thursday - All About That Bass

I think Brittany from Lipstick and Yarn just really wanted us all to have Meghan Trainor stuck in our heads all day when she picked this week's theme!  I'm kidding, but I bet you're all singing that song now!  

This week, we're showcasing our thrifted pants.  I chose a pair of red corduroys I bought in early January and somehow haven't worn yet.  I think I need to do a closet sweep again, seriously. Anyway, I love how soft and comfy these are - and it got super cold again overnight, so corduroy is the perfect solution for that!

I have been wearing a lot of pants this winter as my style has changed a bit.  I still love skirts and dresses in the spring and summer, but I find myself shying away from them more in the winter unless they're a sweaterdress or something more on the casual side.  I've professed my love of the Old Navy pixie pants a bunch of times on the blog, but I would say my next favorite place to shop for pants is definitely the thrift store.  I've had especially good luck in finding colored denim or colored pants like these.  I find you have to have patience when thrifting pants, it can be pretty hit or miss with selection, but every now and then you strike gold like I did with these!  I also recommend always looking at the size above and below the size you normally wear if you're thrifting pants - sometimes the larger size will fit more like your normal size because they'll have shrunk from washing and sometimes the smaller size will surprise you, especially if it's a brand you haven't tried before.

I feel pretty set on pants now, so I'm slowing down in my thrifting a bit for winter here and waiting for warmer weather and then I'll start looking for more summery things like skirts again!  Although I'm always on the quest for the perfect jeans - why are those so hard to find??

Thrift Style Thursday - Winter White Out

Thursday again?  The week is just flying by!  Anyway, welcome to Thrift Style Thursday!  This week's theme, chosen by Megan of Ecleticity is Winter White Out.  I decided to check out the thrift store and see if I could find a pair of white jeans, because I actually wouldn't mind having a pair.  I didn't find straight white, but I found something close and kind of built a "whitish" outfit around them.  I also attempted to take pictures in what little snow we have left around here, it's been unseasonably warm and everything is melting!

I have a hard time doing straight on all white.  It's nothing against white - I'm actually a bit of a messy person, as it was, I did end up spilling a little bit of Ollie's dinner on these pants before the end of the day.  Oops!  Better find my Stain Stick!!

Sweater - Gap (thrifted), Jeans - DKNY (thrifted)

Overall I liked how this nice neutral feeling look turned out.  I had originally thought I'd do something white and black for this day, but I like the soft, feminine feel of what I came up with instead.  I look forward to styling these fun new pants in other ways too!
