Skirt? Thrifted Shirt? Thrifted Shoes? Jeffrey Campbell via a giftcard I won Cuffs? Auction Purse? Thrifted
I am fighting the urge to ramble on uncontrolled about how much I love this outfit. I got the silk shirt for two dollars and the wool skirt for five dollars and I felt like a million dollars. That's the magic of mathematics at a thrift store.
And while mathematics is my strong point at the thrift store, it was my downfall at the auction I got these cuffs at. I forgot that you are bidding to set a price for each item, so I smugly thought I scored both of these cuffs for $20 but it turns out I had to pay $20 for each cuff. I kept my face free from disappointment though, didn't want the people to see my newbie status at the auction...
Have I told you how much I love this outfit? Oh, I have? My apologies.

Ouch, that's like two giant bags of clothes at a thrift store. Sorry for the lame comparison,lately I've been addicted to comparing things to thrift store bags. Matt was like, let's grab fast food and I just said, " No way, that's two shirts/1/4 of a thrift store bag. I'd rather shop. I think my addiction is taking over. Help me.
if i had this outfit, it'd be my favorite, too! LOVE.
BAAM.
HOTT.
Ok see ya later.
I love this outfit too! You look amazing and the colours are AWESOME!!! :)
This look is a beautiful combination. It looks great photographed in a parking lot too. I would like to use one of these pictures is my feature next week about colored pencil skirts. Of course, I would post a link too. Would you mind?

I want to sift and thrift where you sift and thrift. It would be such a gift.
I wrote that for you.
Holy Crap you look fantastic! I don't blame you for wanting to ramble on, that outfit looks killer!
So stunning! Thrift stores rule. You rule. Those cuffs rule. LOOOOVE! x
Those cuffs are insane! I love them! They were kind of expensive =P I would have done the same thing are you hehehe
That skirt is a perfect fit on you! So flattering. I love that outfit, too!
Aw! Too bad about the pricy cuffs, but it looks like they are worth it! Plus, with the great blouse and skirt score, it evens out! You look great! What fun colors!
They look great though! love the outfit as well...colors for summer oh yea :-)

WOW. I LOVE this. I've followed your blog for sometime now and am constantly impressed with your outfits, but this one...all I can say is WOW.
And I want it.
I love this outfit, but those cuffs kill me. LOVE! I'd have cringed about the auction incident myself. Just wear the heck out of 'em!
Call me crazy, but I don't think $20 a pop for those cuffs is outrageous. They're damn awesome.
I love this outfit too. And that auction bid is something I'd totally do. NEWBS 4EVA!
I love the look, the colors, the shape of the top...everything! I wish I culd find a thrift store like the ones you talk about here in Italy...I wonder if they exist? sigh.

I love this! I can't believe that practically your whole outfit is thrifted! Actually I can because you're really good at thrifting : )Great color-blocking!
No wonder you love that outfit! You look amazing!
i can see why you love this outfit!
woah, $20 each! crazy, but worth it! i like how you combined all these colors here. looks great!
Don't blame you. This outfit is undeniably lovable.
So fabulous! I love the cuffs so much.
hey skinny minnie. those are my school colors! :)
Man I don't know, those cuffs are worth $40. So unique and beautiful! Your outfit's color combo were my favorite colors from ages 2 to 18. I love it.
Absolutely beautiful outfit. The skirt fits you perfectly and I love the color combination.
$20/cuff is pretty steep, but they really are amazing. I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of them.
Seriously I saw the fist pic pop up on my reader and was floored. LOVE the color combo and you seriously look like a model.

Wow, this colour combination is amazing! And you look great. The yellow road lines really make the photos pop too.

Ha! Those were my school colors too- but you made them gorgeous and I am so impressed with the math.

I.Love.This.Outfit.Too.
People mix complementary colors (see: Christmas), but never these two! You look amazing. Yeah, you SHOULD like it. Who wouldn't?
Love the bright and bold colors!
You look GORGEOUS! I love this. I also love the double walk the line photo! Your thrifting skills amaze me to no end. I don't know how to say this without sounding like a judgey jerk, but I love that you break the thrift stereotype when it comes to style... so many girls who are super into thrifting end up looking a bit like little house on the prairie guest stars (I'm sorry, this is so mean) but you show that vintage/thrift can look CURRENT and STYLISH and MODERN, and I love that about you.
This is a fabulous outfit!! LOVE!
those cuffs! totally worth the splurge! thank goodness those bright colored silk tops were so popular in the 80s, so we can all don them now :)
You look amazing! Love this outfit!
And that purse?? awesome!
I wish I had your thrifting skills (or at least a shred of them). I have tried thrift stores, but when I go I can't seem to find anything. :(
you like it.. I LOVE IT!!! Beautiful colors and thrifted you say???!!!??? Amazing!! Love it love it! its like straight outa fashion magazine!!
I'm going to echo pretty much everyone here and say that I LOVE THIS OUTFIT!
How do you find such gems? And style them to look so chic and effortless?
So. Jealous.

Purple and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations! Today I'm rocking it as well, with a yellow top and vintage purple beaded necklace (the beads look like little eggplants!). They're also going to be the colors of my wedding bouquet...if and when I get a date and place.
You look stunning as always.
That skirt is INSANE! Also, cuffs were totally worth the money. :)
Oh, you like this outfit? Is that what you said? Well, I like your legs, so there!
PERFECT color combo. Just gorgeous.

i don't think i would have ever paired these two colors together but it is genius! and $7 for both pieces. hell yes.
This whole colorblocked outfit is absolutely awesome, and to think it's mostly thrifted pieces.. you got it ALL for nearly nothing!

that shirt makes me simmer with jealousy. "her hungry eyes gazed upon the skirt before flicking upwards and settling on the ravishingly modest silk shirt, and instantly, she felt her cheeks flush and her heart pound. "...oh oops, too far??
I think the $40 is worth it for these cuffs ... nice!
You are right! Very much LOVE the outfit, the colors, and even the cuffs :)
OMG toooo tooo FUNNNNY!!!!!! I'm MID-POST in doing an outfit with the exact same COMBO!!1 AHAHAHA

You look great.
Simple.
Popping.
Bam.
I crack up reading yours and Kendi's blogs on the same days, because they are so often the same. Color blocking. "Like" in your title. And you're both wearing clothes and talking about them. Craziness.
This has got to be one of the BEST color blocking ensembles I have ever seen!!! And yes, it is simply amazing how a few well put together thrift store items can having you feeling like a million buck. Overprice...yeah...but still got LOVE the cuffs.

I LOVE that outfit too!!! And yay for thrifting. I've been doing so much thrifting that I have a difficult time shopping in regular stores (because of the price differences AND uniquness{real word?} of clothing...)
Looooove those cuffs! Pricey, yea but who else are you going to see wearing them?? The outfit rocks, too - as usual.
this outfit is amazing! i love the bold colors! girl... this is gorgeous!!!
xoxo.

Gold, this outfit is gold. As well as your hair! No silver medals here.
I do not blame you for proclaiming your love for this outfit repeatedly, your outfit is fabulous. If it was mine I'd probably wear it everyday, even at the gym. Well maybe not, I'd hate to ruin it
I like this, too :)
I LOVE this outfit, too!!
SOOOO FABULOUS! I adore the colors.
love the contrasting colors:)
