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  They had to be for boys or for men because of the way they were originally made.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 🙂

Happy Earth Day 🌍🫶🏾🌱

I used to think “let me just get 5k followers.. 10k followers… one day I’ll have 20k followers…” to help people live more sustainably with the blog posts and social media posts I created. 10+ years of that led to burnout. And it never felt the same as when my friends and family started to live a little more sustainably because of something they learned from me. 

I hope you’ll be the inspiration for someone in your life to be a little bit more sustainable today. It’s such a good feeling to see the people closest to you thrift more, consume less, and think differently — more sustainably — about how we treat our world. 

Don’t push it, just live it. 

Happy Earth Day 🌍🫶🏾🌱

🥶❌🌱 Not my plant babies! 

It’s been cold in Texas the past few days, so I acted accordingly to protect my little backyard garden that’s barely underway. 

Using thrifted sheets (once back drops in my “thrift fashionista style content” days lol) and thrifted clothes pins (I knew they would come in handy! 😆🙌🏾), as well as some old jugs, bottles, containers, and twigs. Hopefully they help keep the plants from getting too cold to survive.

Finally got a migrating bird LIGHTS OUT sign 🤩

Turn off your lights (outdoor & indoor) to limit light pollution and to protect migrating birds 🫶🏾🕊️

TURN ‘EM OFF! (in my Teddy Pendergrass voice 😂)

Do you reuse gift wrap?

Here are some things that I’ve thrifted to reuse as gift wrap each holiday season:

⭐️ tablecloths
⭐️ napkins & handkerchiefs (matching napkins sewn together can be used for larger gifts)
⭐️ Scarves (like from @wrappr)
⭐️ Cloth bags (like the ones your sheet sets come in)
⭐️ Pillowcases
⭐️ Curtains (can be used as gift wrap or to cover larger gifts like bikes or toy kitchens)

As long as you can fold the fabric into a square before wrapping the gift, it works well when using the furoshiki style wrapping technique. 

Comment WRAP for a few tips and tricks to wrap gifts in cloth fabric.
