Friday's Fancies: White Hot

fridays fancies: white hot



Okay, so funny story about white. I went down to see my boyfriend a couple weeks ago...and ended up bringing all white tops! I didn't even realize it. I just wanted to bring all my "cute outfits" (Girls, you know what I am talking about!) and before the trip they all happened to include white! So, I obviously don't buy into the old "Don't wear white before Memorial Day!" thing, lol. It goes without saying thought that I will be more colorful when he comes up next week, lol. :)

I am really into accent colors right now. So once I saw this dress it was basically a matter of trying to decide what accent color to go with. The lace called for girly...so I went all out and PINK today! I like pink, but it has all but disappeared from my wardrobe lately...how did that happen! I must rectify that situation soon. Trip to the Goodwill, anyone?? :) Goodwill is my favorite way to change up my wardrobe and add new fashionable elements that I normally wouldn't at a "real store," things like colored shoes, bright or "odd" colored accessories or crazy tops I just wouldn't pay full price for. I love thrift shopping and have gotten quite good at it. For example, for this particular outfit I would probably buy the dress at a normal store and then go to a thrift store for most, if not all, of the other elements of the outfit.

Have you guys had luck thrift store shopping (or sometimes...hunting, as I like to call it)? I swear they hate me at Goodwill, my method of shopping is to try on everything that I think at least has the potential of being cute. Which means I am often trying a LOT of clothes and maybe buying a few of them! I feel bad when I hang everything else up on the return rack. What are you methods for shopping, thrift store or otherwise?
