Recycled fashion

So....I got this idea....nothing too novel or earth shattering...nonetheless,I still think it's a pretty good idea.
I have been frequenting the website Pinterest, of late....I sooooo love LOVE love it...you could safely say that I am probably addicted to it, if you want. If you were ever on there, you probably know what I am saying....
So...I really love women's apparel...I wear it, I like shopping...somewhat...I really love clothes and figuring out different things to wear....
Have you seen the prices of clothes....???I was shocked...I guess I have been shopping at target, walmart, and goodwill too long....so I decided to challenge myself...try to find a pretty outfit on Pinterest and find something close at a thrift shop or on clearance obviously cheaper....
So here's what I started with....and here's what I got from the goodwill...check it out...the whole outfit less than 15 bucks....exciting huh?

I got the black pants for 2.50, the cream belt for 1.00, the white shirt for 2.00, the herringbone blazer for 3.50 and the black shoes for 4.00...it took me a few days to assemble the get-up, but I think it works... I already had the necklace in my jewelry box,it wasn't exact...but it was close.

The outfit online was around 400.00 all together...so I think that's pretty substantial.

Let me know what you think....it's amazing what you can do with a little inspiration....who doesn't love inspiration, right?

Now to find my next cute outfit...maybe just dig through my closet this time...

Until next time friends....

The pinterest inspiration is the center picture...the other 2 pictures( top and bottom pictures) are me
