j crew lustre lace mockneck tee {thrifted} · j crew skirt {ebayed}
dexter harriet t-strap heels · croft & barrow necklace
i have long admired this picture of cee wearing a navy lace blouse with a bright red turtleneck underneath and i was reminded of it as i was googling around trying to determine the product name of the j crew blouse i am wearing that i thrifted yesterday just to realize it is the same top. i had to take inspiration from her and pair it with a turtleneck underneath, too! i love how pretty and feminine this outfit is with the added faux pearl necklace.
thrifting can be a dangerous hobby. you're bound to add items to your cart that you would pass on in a store just because of their inexpensive price tag. i have a hard time putting something back at the goodwill, even if i'm only moderately interested in it. i struggled with a pink blazer that would have been a mere $2.50 that i finally placed back on a rack just because i'm not certain if the direction my wardrobe is going includes a pepto-bismol pink blazer. this blouse, on the other hand, was half off of $6.99, which ordinarily would have been a no brainer, but i paused for the slightest of seconds before running to the cash register with it because, ahh, i already have a very similar blouse. in the end, the $3.50 price tag for a blouse that originally cost $138 won out -- i mean, i couldn't just leave it there, could i?! as i said, thrifting is a dangerous hobby. would you have snatched it up as well knowing you have almost an identical blouse already or left it on the rack?
