I am passing my crown to you, Annie! Awesome job! and the outfit in 5-6 looks very hip and modern. I am amazed at the number of items you found that were new.

And the tops! I have such a hard time finding tops (new or used). You did great. Wish we could see your pretty face to see how the colors look on you.

The jeans seem to be a good fit. Try styling everything to make sure you love each piece before you rip the tags off.

Annie - I have those Naturalizer oxfords in black - you're gonna love them! They're so comfortable. I sure as heck paid more than $5 for mine though!!!

I think this is the first time I have had real luck with the tops & I couldn't believe how many things had tags on still!

Since it is Thrift, I do have to keep (or re donate) so no returns

I like #1 and #7. Score on the shoes!!

Those shoes are a fantastic find! Way to go! Great buys all round.

Some thrift stores actually will let you return. I've never done it though cause it makes me feel bad...i'd rather just re-donate. Great thrift finds! I love seeing what other people dig up in other places! i'm doing a little thrifting trip this Sunday to avoid football!

The shoes and the AT top are my favorites! I think the top looks cute tucked, but maybe with a belt - and it would look cute untucked as well.

Trying to think of why you might not feel 100% in the graphic tee outfit... maybe it's a combination of so many very casual elements, so it's a bit harder to feel polished? You could switch out the slouchy cardi for a blazer, or maybe try the top and cardi with black skinnies and boots. Or even just switch out the top to the AT top.

Great haul, for sure!

Thank you everyone. I am most pleased about the Dark Levi's..(dark bootcuts were on my list next to buy) & the shoes of course, I swear I was looking for a comfy, casual "wedge" or something with a heel for casual use!
Everything else is just me trying out different types of tops/blouses & see how I like them before buying new.

I don't think I like tucking in, but that top is kinda flowy & I didn't want to look bigger by hiding my waist, I will keep practicing.

Rae, I think you got it right, everything is prob just too "casual" for one outfit, I will practice with other jackets or tops.

See, it's little things like that, that I still don't "get" on my own but you all are helping me so much!

Next week I will attempt a whole week of outfits & see how I do!
