Thrifted

Thrifted top and belt; Express jeans; Kohl's necklace; Target wedges.

There's a special addition of Everybody, Everywear going on today where everyone is showing off their favorite thrifted items. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to focus on and finally narrowed it down to this silk shirt.

Tops like these usually don't have a lot of hanger appeal because of how boxy they are. But they're actually pretty versatile and oh-so comfortable. I mean, why isn't everything I own made of silk? That's right, because I'm poor. Thank goodness for thrift stores.

    I definitely struggle with those boxy tops, especially with front pockets that add bulk where i don't need it, but you look perfect in it!

    Love this thrifted top and I think you look great in this outfit. :)

    I just read your profile and I hope you do great on your CPA exam (whenever you take it)! I'm actually a finance major but a lot of my friends are in accounting and they are prepping too. Good luck!!!

    Nice polished look!  I recently snagged a similar light blue version of the shirt, and I totally agree with you about the hanger appeal.

    Haha! I'm poor too. :(  Would you believe that I've never been thrifting? There's a thrift store in my neighborhood that I should check out, especially if I can find cute shirts like yours.

    Love the top. REALLY love the necklace. Love the roll on your jeans.  Oh how I wish my legs were long enough to pull off that look.  
    I need to keep my eyes open for a top like that next time I'm at a thrift store. Thanks for the tip.

    I love thrifted silk shirts. I think you posted about one several months ago and it inspired me to hit up the Salvation Army and get one for myself.

    I love this look!  The chunky necklace looks great with the silk shirt.  I wish I had an all silk wardrobe too, to soft and fancy.
