If you’re new to The Spirited Thrifter, allow me to introduce something special about Mondays: the “Monday Style Prompt!”  Every weekend, I issue a style prompt for Monday morning – a little something-something to ease the pain of Monday morning and help get the week off to a stylish start… If it happens to also encourage a little weekend thrifting, well, that’s a bonus!  (You’re welcome.)  I post the Monday Style Prompt on Facebook and Twitter, and pin tons of inspiration on my Monday Style Prompt Pinterest board.  This week, the prompt was a sure thing: florals and stripes.  No matter how you mix them, they look fresh, springy and stylish!  Here’s my take on it with an amazing thrift score, an Anthropologie brand wool moto-cardi in a stunning floral print in perfect condition!

I paid $7 for Anthropologie perfection!!

I’m sorry, I know you’re jealous.  Don’t be jealous, just go thrifting; sooner or later you too will find your very own Anthropologie treasures!

Striped tee $3.50, Gap cords $4.20 AND Anthro leather booties, thrifted NWT then passed on to me.

That’s right, this was a TWO-Anthro-piece outfit!  And both thrifted!!

Thrifted Anthropologie ankle boots
These beauties were thrifted new-with-tags then passed on to me after spending a year with my friend who pretended they fit her. I don’t blame her.

Of course, I had some Pinspiration since we are still in Pinspired March 2.0!

Floral and stripes as pinspired by this pin with the model I thought wasn't smiling.  Maybe she can only muster a half smile because she's hungry.

I will never understand why people don’t wear more accessories.  OBVIOUSLY for my real OOTD, I added an Accessory Trifecta…

She Does Create and thrifted accessories
Accessory Trifecta = necklace, earrings and arm party, in case you were wondering.

I LOVE every single floral-stripe combo I see.  They are a match made in heaven, and even better when they involve Anthropologie and downright amazing when they’re THRIFTED!

One last shot in case you’re like me and can’t stop admiring this beautiful piece.
