I adore stripes!
Do you?
A few months ago, I vowed to add a chevron striped skirt to
my wardrobe. Last Saturday
afternoon, amidst book proposal writing, I took a well-deserved break and headed over to a local thrift shop only a few miles from home.
You likely know how this goes... Within five minutes of
arriving at the shop, I spied a chevron striped skirt (black and white—exactly
what I had wanted) for a mere $3. Its
label was a "no brand" name, but I could truly care less. This skirt doesn’t have a flaw to it
(mint condition), fits perfectly and is well made (I think it could be
vintage!). It’s almost as exciting for me as last month’s thrifty, eco-friendly snag.
An added bonus: this skirt is also going to double as a top.
Yup! Pulled up, it functions well as a smock-ish tube top. I can wear a jacket or cardigan and
slacks with it into the office, or, on a warm summer evening, don this skirt-turned-top bare shouldered (smile).
What was your latest thrifty, eco-friendly purchase? I would
love hearing about it!
Joy, peace and happy Friday! T.
