In Thrift

Polka Dot Pin-Up

1 Comment

If you follow me on Pinterest, you probably have an idea what I wore today.  I only say that because one of my friends guessed it.  She’s a “pin-teller,” along the same lines as “grocery-tellers” and “the mentalist.”  Anyhoo, I wore a recent thrift score from VV Boutique, a $4.90 polka-dot cardigan!

Obviously this cardigan doesn’t exactly qualify me as a pin-up girl (unless you’re my tired husband), but the Pin that Pinspired my OOTD is reminiscent of a pin-up girl – a stylish one, albeit with questionable posing.

I call this the “I’m a little polka-dot and yellow-pants teapot” pose.
Teapots aside, I do love an interesting finishing piece.  Interesting blazers, interesting cardigans… solids are good too but interesting finishing pieces elevate a simple outfit.
Lo and behold, an easy style formula: 
denim (coloured or other) + tee (plain or other) + interesting finisher = good OOTD
Of course, yellow pants don’t hurt matters either as far as interesting goes!

I found a handful of inspiring outfits for this cute cardi – at least five which means I will easily get my “styles per cost” value out of this piece!

Polka dots are a cheerful pattern, and therefore the perfect piece to usher in some good news today!  VV Boutique Style has been nominated for a Yeggie for the second year running!  I still got it!  Now to start thinking about what to wear!

I don’t *always* do Pinterest copies but that’s my focus in March – it’s so much fun!
