This is the first time that I notice you wear waist belts a lot, so that's a reminder to me to try that more.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 4 is, of course, super cute, and now I am reminded I ALSO want to get a tie-front sweater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412969 Thu, 14 May 2026 23:10:38 +0000 Cookie 2412969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tie-dye is by this local business <a href="https://cloudcandyclothing.com" rel="nofollow">https://cloudcandyclothing.com</a></p> <p>Or rather its predecessor, also the source of some much loved skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412968 Thu, 14 May 2026 23:03:44 +0000 Cookie 2412968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much! Confessions: The “denim” jacket is corduroy and from 2012, the Gap label informs me, and the tie-dye top is … really pretty tight. It’s very soft and stretchy and comfortable and apparently I’m shameless that way, but I think it will garner much less approval without the jacket than with it, haha. (Also, I HATE the word “garner.” What am I even doing.)</p> <p>Ginger! Vintage repro brands in general are good sources for cardigans like that. The green one is Voodoo Vixen and the blue is the ubiquitous Mak/Yemak cardigan that is widely available in a million colors, including on Amazon. Their quality is not great but they are cheap and useful. Palava is another great brand that I think Angie had highlighted in the past. A magical wonderland of a local (to me) shop called Modern Millie has many brands like this. I think they do a lot of online business.</p> <p>The other sweaters are thrifted … gray one is Eileen Fisher, purple one I think is from The Territory Ahead (so random), blue swirly print one is Nic &amp; Zoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412964 Thu, 14 May 2026 22:05:36 +0000 Suz 2412964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cookie, </b>your smile is so infectious and it shows how much fun you are having.&nbsp;</p> <p>I <b>LOVE </b>the print on the dress in #4 and I'm not surprised you got compliments on it! It's unique and fun and makes a statement.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the denim with tie dye in #1. The denim is a nice juxtaposition with the more feminine elements, plus the colour is great on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>And of course I love #3 -- I mean, it <b>is</b> blue and white, after all. :)&nbsp; Again, I like the juxtaposition between the super casual footwear and the more feminine dress. Really nice outfits all round.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412954 Thu, 14 May 2026 17:59:50 +0000 slim cat 2412954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun and fabulous looks! I like outfits # 1, #4 and #5 the best but all are great on you! The denim jacket in #1 is very versatile piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412951 Thu, 14 May 2026 17:37:19 +0000 Angie 2412951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with <b>Roberta</b> in loving #. Denim is fantastic on you! Hoped to see more of the outfit because it looks potentially KILLER. Very fun tie-dye, <b>Cookie</b> :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Super cute and pretty in #3! KILLER with the patterned sneakers. Full of fun, as <b>Jenni</b> said! Distinctively YOU, as <b>Jaime</b> said. You'd get a HUGE toothy grin from me walking along my street in that outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>On what planet is #5 a fail! I'm with the doggies ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Having fun with fashion = THANK YOU! That's what we need more of in life.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412949 Thu, 14 May 2026 17:19:57 +0000 Ginger 2412949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great dressing! I think it's good to lean into weather changeableness; otherwise I just get annoyed and frustrated. But it does take more time and thought each day. And even occasionally sticking my nose outside and trying to gauge how the day will feel.</p> <p>I am pretty taken with your cardigans. It's not common to find short cardigans with full length sleeves. Where do you find them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412946 Thu, 14 May 2026 16:39:34 +0000 Roberta 2412946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the tie-dye shirt in combination with the denim jacket. In fact, I like all of these outfits. You have a really good eye for print and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412919 Thu, 14 May 2026 02:43:32 +0000 Star (Lise) 2412919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the dress in pic 2 really cool. The skirt and the pattern. Fun to change it up with different items underneath. I would nab that in a thrift shop too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412911 Thu, 14 May 2026 00:39:05 +0000 Lisa 2412911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd never know you were in a style rut with the weather. And I am with you, in between weather can be frustrating to dress for. We are (hopefully) finally going to be steady temperatures starting next week and I can't wait for dressing more consistently instead of one day hot, one day cold. It's driving me batty.</p> <p>I like all the outfits you have here, you have a great eye for prints and flattering fits, your waist always looks so defined and tiny, bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412901 Wed, 13 May 2026 23:17:06 +0000 Jaime 2412901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your personal style is so fun and distinct! I love the print on the dress in #4, and I don't think #5 is a fail at all - great cardigan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412898 Wed, 13 May 2026 22:27:46 +0000 Cookie 2412898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, Jenni, I do have fun! The boy was about 8 and such an earnest little charmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412897 Wed, 13 May 2026 22:06:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 2412897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your style so much fun and you find wonderful items at thrift. Our approach to our wardrobes is different but I feel you do have more fun with it than I probably do! I still really enjoy putting items together though.<br /> My fave here is probably #2 and I also love that you bought the necklace in #4 because of the little boy. Kids are so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-andor-thrifted-recently#post-2412894 Wed, 13 May 2026 21:38:55 +0000 Cookie 2412894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s the in-between weather but I have been feeling kind of uninspired. Still: </p> <p>1. The tie-dye shirt is the “recently thrifted.” Meh. This was fine for a day I basically went to the office to be alone.</p> <p>2. Thrifted dress that I am pretty sure was intended to be worn in like a loose pinafore situation. That isn’t my style but the steampunky skirt really spoke to me, so I snapped it up to wear in various other layered ways (it is sleeveless with excessively large arm holes, so needs something under and/or over). It is kind of giving “Victorian swimming costume” but I’m entirely okay with that.</p> <p>3. Thrifted this super lightweight cotton dress and Cariuma sneakers not thinking to wear them together, but I love them together! It was warm enough to dress this way for exactly one day, lol.</p> <p>4. Found I could juuuust zip this old dress (the print is commuters on the subway) and wore it to take my brother out for birthday brunch and fiddle music. I know this isn’t really everyone’s (or anyone’s?) aesthetic in this forum but it got many compliments from strangers. I had just bought the necklace at an artist studio event because the artist’s little boy advised me that it went with my outfit! (Not the same outfit.)</p> <p>5. Kind of a fail (or is it??) but the dogs who came to the office didn’t mind. I keep throwing things at the gray maxi skirt that is so convenient for not warm, not cold days.</p> <p>6. Wearing today … after I put on something entirely different, went outside, decided it was inappropriate to the weather, and ran back in to change as fast as possible.</p> <p>Thanks for humoring me! </p>
