Something Old, Something New | Vintage Denim & Corduroy for Spring

Back to the “Something old, something new…” adage – check out this mix of thrifted & new fashion all in one outfit!

Some old things…

The shirt is a thrifted corduroy pearl snap button up.  That basically means awesomeness.  Pearl snaps, doe.

The shorts were once a pair of weirdly shaped Wrangler jeans.  They had to be for boys or for men because of the way they were originally made.  I took those bad boys home and made them my own, though!

Scissor happy!

Throw on a statement necklace and your favorite boots (ya know, to keep the rest of you warm since spring weather only stays warm for a few hours out of the day), and apparently – according to all of my Arkansas folks – you’ll be dressed like a Texan!  Or just cute.  You’ll be dressed super cute, so strike a pose =)

or something… haha!

Search your closets and thrift stores to create a look for you that is made of something old & something new, too!

P.S., for those that don’t know, here’s How To Thrift.

Until next time – xoxo, dolls & dudes

    Love it!!!
    I need a bigger closet so I can actually see everything and use it to its full potential! My main problem is I wear the same things over and over because they’re easily accessible!
    You look fab! Thrifty chic 🙂

Discarding the top of strawberries has been the norm my entire life. But why?

Eating the tops of strawberries is one tiny sustainable change that didn’t take a lot of effort. 

What’s one small eco-conscious change you’ve implemented that made you say “Why didn’t I think of this before?!” 💡✨
