This is a floaty, perfect-for-summer look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2250306 Mon, 31 Jan 2022 01:40:02 +0000 Sal 2250306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You suit white so well Jenni- so flattering on you. I really like this look - it looks modern classic to me.</p> <p>And I agree that wildcards are awesome to buy at a thrift store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2250175 Sun, 30 Jan 2022 05:18:23 +0000 Bijou 2250175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a light and pretty summer outfit. I love how you have changed your shopping strategy and are able to continue to have fun with fashion in a sustainable way. Your sandals are very pretty on your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2250174 Sun, 30 Jan 2022 05:00:51 +0000 Anonymous 2250174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, you found some gems. &nbsp;I look forward to our thrift shops opening again. &nbsp;Buying second hand has given me a shock when I shop regular retail. &nbsp;It is a great way to find wild cards and refresherd, &nbsp;it it takes patience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2250156 Sun, 30 Jan 2022 02:26:54 +0000 Jaime 2250156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you know I think this is great! Buying at a charity thrift shop is so satisfying: you are saving a garment from landfill, you are donating to charity, you are having fun with a new and probably unique right now garment, you are saving money, you are not supporting fast fashion...well you already know you are preaching to the choir with me! And long over lean is perfectly stylish when it makes you feel good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2250155 Sun, 30 Jan 2022 01:13:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 2250155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! Glad you like the sandals Suntiger, I took a while to decide to order them online but have worn quite often already. I do like cutouts on shoes.<br /> And yes, J’Aileen, it does feel like renting it! I will be interested to see how many times I feel like wearing it. A previous silk top that I had thrifted for $8 in 2017 was worn over 30 times before I tired of it and donated it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2250024 Sat, 29 Jan 2022 12:27:05 +0000 Anonymous 2250024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sandals especially! Nothing wrong with still enjoying long over lean! I like what JAileen said about "renting the top." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2249990 Sat, 29 Jan 2022 02:37:03 +0000 Suz 2249990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty top, Jenni!

Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2249868 Fri, 28 Jan 2022 13:16:17 +0000 RobinF 2249868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty top - what a great find! I like your idea of thrifting. I always feel so guilty when something doesn't work out but $4 wouldn't be bad at all!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2249857 Fri, 28 Jan 2022 10:09:09 +0000 Sisi 2249857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Jenni! Pretty top, very "you" and the earrings are a nice combination with the floral pattern. Happy for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/default-style-for-summer-fun--thrifted#post-2249855 Fri, 28 Jan 2022 08:15:28 +0000 Jenni NZ 2249855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such wisdom in Angie’s response on Sisi’s recent minimalism thread. For years before and for the first few years on YLF I could not manage my wardrobe. I bought too much and kept too much. Finally, after over 5 years, things are slightly skewing the other way. I am getting a bit bored. I have some refreshes but not many because I am still trying to wear everything!<br /> So I tried a new idea- what if I just saw what serendipitously caught my eye at thrift stores? Then maybe if the items didn’t work out so well I wouldn’t need to worry about #30 wears and could just donate them back?<br /> Of course what caught my eye turned out to be my default-long over lean really. Outdated. I “don’t care- (I’m) not caught up in your love affair”. It is a sample from SS2015 season, NZ made, a weird cross-over at the back so needs a cami or layering top underneath.<br /> But $4! I think it’s really pretty and so am pleasing myself.<br /> Obi floaty top, 2015 sample.<br /> Capture white mesh top (Ezibuy) 2012<br /> Capture white cropped pants ( Ezibuy) 2020<br /> Top End white sandals 2021<br /> Random pink flower earrings left behind by daughters maybe a decade ago.<br /> Revlon Gentlemen Prefer Pink lipstick.<br /> Thanks for looking. </p>
