Thrifty Threads - First Post Evah

We're a mom/daughter duo whose goal is to show tweens and teens that you don't have to spend a lot of money to look great. On our blog, we'll be showing name brand outfits that we mimic by shopping at thrift stores. We hope to encourage others to "shop green" and thrift whenever possible.


For this outfit the shirt was inspired by the Boden Autumn 2010 catalog.  Here is Boden's shirt at $48.
drapey jersey top in moss sprig

We paired this top with a pair of Highland Creek Chesapeake shoes and a pair of Express X2 jeans (the X2 jeans are no longer made, but we came across a new pair on ebay so we got our pricing from there)

Remember, when you shop at thrift stores, you are not only helping your wallet, you're helping the environment, and nobody will be able to tell where you bought your clothes, unless you tell them.
