Business Casual

Today my friend Pat and I went out to Savers to see what kinds of great finds we could score! And boy did we score big! First we found a great pair of brown and black pinstripe pants that we knew we had to base our outfit around. The pants are great because not only are they flattering by adding the illusion of length, they also have a sense of business casual with a vintage twist. We then found a simple black shirt that was polyester and cotton blend to add to a more business savvy feel. We love this look because after you're done at work, there's no need to change before you go out and play. ;)

Pinstripe Pants     $3.99
Black Shirt          $2.99
Total                    $6.98

Pat's shoes were also a great find! We got them at Last Chance, which is a company owned by Nordstrom. Last Chance is located at the Camelback Colonade at 18th Street and Camelback at 1919 East Camelback Road. Tom's Shoes normally retail for about $44-$68 a pair depending on what kind of design you choose. The pair we found for Pat were the Ash Canvas Men's classic. We were able to get this pair for $30 instead of $44!

Outfit         $6.98
Tom's         $30.00
Total          $36.98 before tax!

Savers

Today we journeyed out to Savers out in Glendale! Savers is at 27th Avenue and Bethany Home. If you've never been to Savers before, it is filled with home goods, clothing and accessories and even some household electronics if you're lucky. We found some really great looks at Savers that I can't wait to share with you!

We found this long tribal skirt, which on our petite model, made for a great dress! We added the belt to accessorize and show off Kitti's great figure! It adds interest to the outfit, without overpowering it. We also did a variation of this look by adding a super cute crochet vest! Let's see how much this look cost us!

                 Tribal dress/skirt     $4.99       
                 Belt                         $2.99
                 Vest                        $4.99
                 Grand total             $12.97 before tax

Value Village

A few days ago, some friends and I took our thrifting over to the westside! Our journey started at Value Village which is located at 5346 W. Glendale Avenue. After doing some looking around, here's one of the outfits we thought were too cute! First we found this black leotard with lace detail, which is a great basic piece! To go along with the leotard, we discovered a great red high waisted skirt to add some color. Then we added a faux pearl necklace and a studded red cuff bracelet to accessorize. We also found an awesome fur coat to add to this look (just for fun ;)). I think this is a timeless look that has both a chic and sophisticated look. Now let's take a look and see how much this outfit cost us!



Leotard    $2.49
