September Shopping

I am posting this on the last day of September, but I don't think I will run out and buy any more clothing today.

In September, I bought added four pieces to my wardrobe. Two were HEWIs that I found at a local indie boutique. One is a warm white tee to replace some well-worn tees, and the other is olive jeans. I also purchased another denim shirt from an online consignment store and a gorgeous scarf from the same place. I have been narrowing down my style and decided to embrace an effortless, minimalistic look. All four of these pieces fit into this goal.

September Additions
Dark Denim Shirt - Guess (thrifted)
Silk Autumn Scarf - (thrifted)
Ecru Long Sleeved Tee - Velvet
Fatigue (Olive) Jeans - 7 For All Mankind

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome!

What excellent finds, Style Fan! And brilliant that you managed to find not one but two HEWIs, yay! I love all of these, and they will all work together really well, while playing well with the rest of your wardrobe too.

These are great picks for you, SF!! The scarf is gorgeous and goes beautifully with your palette! How will you style your shirt? Do you wear shirts as toppers?

Thank you, Inge! I was fortunate to find two HEWIs. I have been looking for a long time.
Nemosmom, I am excited to wear the scarf! It is gorgeous. I usually wear denim shirts with everything except for my jeans. I don't usually wear them as toppers but I could try that. Good idea.
Minaminu, I have been working on creating a cohesive wardrobe for a long time. It is finally coming together!

Love the scarf especially I've always thought of your style as cohesive!

Very nice additions to the wardrobe. I like Guess shirts - usually more figure flattering and a bit stretchier than most of the brands. Scarf is fab!

Carla, I am trying to shop locally as much as possible. Fortunately, there are a few nice indie boutiques open right now.
Suntiger, the scarf is perfect for earth tone lovers.
Slim Cat, I agree that Guess shirts are flattering. They fit so well.
Thanks, Angie! I have learned to be PPP.
Robin and Cardiff Girl, I don't often find HEWIs. I was excited.
Thank you, TG.
Sal, you are right. I can wear the tops with the jeans and add the scarf.
Katerina, so nice to see you! The scarf is special. I am excited to wear it.

Oooh -- that is a fantastic outfit right there! Superb! Love the olive jeans for you.

Looks like a perfectly planned out collection, and nothing too off-the-wall. I really want to narrow my focus too and just have pieces like this that are useful across all seasons . I have to keep saying it to myself until it sticks. Glad you bought that scarf - I was tempted myself !

An excellent mix and judicious choice of jacket and scarf second hand and tee and jeans retail. Exactly the right mix if you aren't going all in !

Suz, I lucked out for the month of September. I am happy to have found the Olive jeans.
Lisa, the scarf is gorgeous. Perfect colours for my wardrobe. I had to grab it.
Shevia, I agree! It is hard for me to find consignment clothing in a rural environment. Shopping online for pieces is challenging.
