This outfit was nearly 100% thrifted. People are so generous that they donated these leather boots, lacey top (granted it was ugly until I trimmed some excessive lacey business away from the neck) and the new cargos to thrift stores and then left them for me to find. In the 1+ year that I have been blogging, my closet has gone from being 21% thrifted to 83% (I did some spread sheets...) thrifted. The closet has since also been filled to 131% capacity...
The only thing that ruined my perfectly thrifted outfit was the belt. I could have gone without a belt but these pants give me a little muffin top so I wore a belt. T he belt sticks out further than the little extra baked goods on my hips and so camouflages it. I don't know if that trick is in any 'How to get Dressed' books... if it isn't, you may go ahead and use that information, as long as you always footnote it back to me. I prefer APA format...

Ummm...I'd rip those shoes away from you if I saw you. They are PERFECTION. In that field, with those pants -- you look editorial, my dear! Those boots...I'll be dreaming of them. Unfortunately the thrift shoes around here blow.

Those shoes! Those shoes!
I want to cry.
Those pants are amazing!

loving this outfit. A LOT.
Is there any hope for the rest of us if you think you have muffin top??! You look amazing in this outfit.
Stupid APA format. Well done.
This outfit rocks! I love that it's almost 100% thrifted! I do "levels of thrift" for my outfits on my blog; it's hard to get to 100% sometimes.
How in the world do you walk into a thrift store and find such amazing goods. I need a step by step guide detailed by yourself with photos so I don't get distracted by butterflies or passing cars. I also prefer APA format.
I've met so many people from the netherlands while in Scotland.. I'm beginning to think there are none left in Holland. You need to teach me some dutch too. We can start with how to say, 'where's the cheese?' and maybe 'hello'.
Someday you must give me a lesson in thrifting shoes. I cannot BELIEVE you got those used! Lucky duck.
Those are some cool boots!

You're beautiful and funny! Matt is a lucky guy.
I follow your blog daily now (since I stumbled upon it a couple of months ago) and I've started going to thrift stores because of you. There are some really cool things to be found there! Thanks!
Love the lace top! Great find!!!
Absolutely LOVE the colors ♥
Love those boots. I'm so with you on the % increase on the thrifted clothes in my closet over the last few months and I love it too.
I heart your boots! So great!
Perfect outfit. Loving lace too - jackets and dresses in my case.
If you're worried about the amount of things in your wardrobe, feel free to donate any (or all) of it to me.
Good god this is amazing. The boots are perfect, the pants are so fun, and the lace top is just darling (check out all those different adjectives!).
a beautiful combination, jentine! I am loving the lace combined with more rugged looking boots and pants. you work those cargos!
great pants! the details are awesome ;)
Seriously?? This is absolutely fabulousness. I'm gonna second (third, fourth, 100th??) what everyone else said and a)sit in wonder and amazement at your thrifty magic and b)covet thy boots and c)agree that there is no muffin or other baked goods anywhere in sight on your frame.
Well done, well done!
God, I really have to come to your town and go thrift shopping! I am not so sure I would have such a great eye for it though, I adore those pants!
That top is beautiful. And I love how you paired it with the tough trousers!
those boots must have been the wrong fit for the purchaser, so amazing I don't know how they could be given away otherwise!
This outfit is divine! I love that from far away it looks slightly more rugged in color and then up close it's got all these unique and feminine details. WHO WOULD DONATE THOSE BOOTS?? You are the Queen of Thrifting, without a doubt.
You are kickin' this outfit's ASS! Thos boots! THOSE BOOTS! And those pants look incredible on you. I wanted to wear a pair of green cargos yesterday, but I felt like my thighs were going to hulk out of them. So...I passed.
I love how unique each piece is, but how they all go together so well. All great finds!
This outfit is all sorts of incredible. The lace top with those trousers and those amazing shoes... perfection!
wow, what a GREAT look! adding it to my inspiration files immediately. :)
