How I Style Thrift Finds: Work To Happy Hour Outfit

Pants (Similar) | Heels | Bracelet 


Ah, this outfit is so inspired because I have two thrifted pieces on me. Could you even tell? I found these pair of Anne Klein work pants/leggings–which are my favorite type of work pants– and this off-the-shoulder Top Shop shirt. It is super flowy, looks super cute and fit well! This outfit shows you can get a stylish work or happy hour look from the thrift store.


So let's start with these pants. If you work in an office or a place that has to dress business casual then you know the work pants/leggings are gold. They are the best invention of the 21st century and not only do they look good with any type of top but they are comfortable. In my last thrifted blog post I shared that its hard to find pants that fit perfectly, but these Anne Klein pants fit like a glove. I also love that in the waist band the. . .well the band is still there and so they're not falling off of me every time I move around. Besides just needing to clean them when I got home, these $4 pants was like finding gold.


The top!! Another great steal for only $6 was this Top Shop blouse/shirt. I'm not sure what you call it, but its an off-the-shoulder shirt that again fit me so well. Especially since I couldn't try it on (dressing rooms were closed) so I really had to just go for it. I then paired this outfit with some chunky jewelry and these low-heeled heels from Express for a dressy, but a "I'm not trying too hard" look. When I put all of these pieces together I felt like I was a boss ass bitch. Of course I work at a religious non-profit so I could never actually get away with this shirt, but when I'm hustling in NYC one day this is the ideal look.

How I Style Thrift Finds: Overalls

Overalls (Similar) | T-Shirt | Sneakers | Bracelet


I can't even hide my excitement about today's fashion post. I have wanted a pair of overalls since they came back in style, but it is extremely difficult to find a pair that not only looks cute, but fits! Especially since I am 4'11, it's very rare that anything fits me perfectly. So when I found a pair of overalls at a YARD SALE of all places I held them up to me and though, "Huh, these may fit." 50 cents for overalls they may fit? That's a win in my book.


I took them home and washed them throughly because there were some marks on them and you could tell they've been in storage for a while. When I tried them on for the first time I was actually going to my cousin's house for a little Halloween movie night and decided to pair it with this vampire lips t-shirt I got from Target for $8. Putting the pieces together I again was shocked and how cute this was all coming together. Then when I put the overalls on I ran in a few different problems, but nothing that some quick thinking couldn't fix. 


The first was the buttons on these overalls are on the side and you have to button them in order for them to–well–stay on you. It was a little tight to button them, I have wider hips but I'm short, so jeans and pants are difficult to find most of the time. Once I got those buttoned I was able to pull the legs down which helped with the tightness. It was like I had to pull them up to button then I could pull them down, just kind of odd. But of course, they were just a little too long on me. Not by much though!!! I think depending on the shoes I wore, if I wore these with booties instead of sneakers then I could get away with leaving them down, but a quick fix for any pants or jeans that are just a smidge too long–I roll them up. Short gals take notes! The next part was the straps. Even though the bottom half of the overalls were fitting, the top was just falling off. So I had to tighten the straps and guess what....they wouldn't budge!! I had to really maneuver these straps to pull tighter than they wanted to go and then there was a left over strap hanging off. I don't know if that makes sense, but it wasn't bad. It kind of looks like it was supposed to be like that, if that makes any kind of sense 😂. Once I had figured out I paired these overalls with my Tommy Hilfiger sneakers and left one of the straps undone for an edgier look.

Road Trip On Film


I'm so happy I don't have to let go of my most recent vacation to Arizona and California. I always take a disposable camera on trips now because I want to do a "trip on film" post. I was so stoked when I got my film back from this trip and the pictures are amazing. Click here to read the road trip blogs!
