How You Sparkle...

The day after the first snowfall calls for a sparkly fun top.  I love this sweater I thrifted back in September.  I knew it would be a favorite for the coming winter - especially for the holidays!  It's also warm and cozy, so you really can't beat that!

Sweater - Gap (thrifted), Leggings - Simply Vera (Kohls)

Boots - Target, Necklace - Stella and Dot

Bag - Tignanello (thrifted)

Of course the snow made it a little difficult to take pictures outside, so cell phone selfies had to do for today!  I also talked last week about how I really have moved to preferring crossbody bags lately, but I still really love this silvery, shimmery shoulder bag I thrifted this summer too.  It just seemed to fit with my outfit and just made me think sparkle and snow.  Now that it seems to be done falling too, I don't even mind the snow that much.  That doesn't mean I'm jumping into Christmas prep quite yet, but I think I've accepted winter.  I said it last year a lot - I do choose to live here after all! 

Thrift Style Thursday - Metallica

Our theme for Thrift Style Thursday this week is metallics.  I had a few fun pieces I wanted to pull out for today.  I went for sort of a mixed metal feel.  It's funny, I was always a straight silver girl for a number of years and then I realized that I do like gold too - and even better, that's ok to mix the two!

I adore this dress - I actually bought it via a fellow Thrift Style Thursday gal - Miche of Buttons and Birdcages from her Storenvy right before my shopping ban.  I wore this dress for Ollie's six month pictures and have been wearing it quite a bit this summer overall.  It's so comfy, I can't get enough of it.

I added this Tiganello bag I thrifted back in May - it's more silver than gold, but I love how in the light it actually looks kind of gold too.  I recently saw what this style Tiganello bag is retailing for new and realized I got it for a steal at the thrift shop!  I added this sweater because it was a little chilly yesterday morning when I was taking these photos - even it has some metallic to it, it has flecks of a rose gold colored thread.  I took a picture more in detail that you'll see further down the post.  I finished the look with gold sandals I bought from an Instagram shop and then a mixed metal charm necklace that isn't thrifted, but is very cute!

So does all this metal talk make anyone else want to listen to some old school heavy metal music?  I had to laugh, when we were driving up to the cabin we were having trouble finding a station to listen to, but the "metal" station in the Twin Cities has a pretty decent range so it followed us quite a way - and I was shocked at how "tame" it is now compared to what it used to be! Not to say I was ever a metal head, but still - the face melting days seem to be over!  Give me some Enter Sandman, come on!
