Wow,
I haven’t done one of these posts in a while! It seems like whenever I’m
wearing an all-thrifted outfit something gets in the way and photos are not to
be that day. But I’m glad it worked out this morning because, even though it
might seem silly, I really like creating outfits that are completely secondhand
but still look pulled together. Plus, I’m cheap and get a kick out of wearing
an outfit that cost less than $20.
I
guess I get that from my dad. My siblings and I used to call him Father Frugal
because he wouldn’t buy us Oreos, only Hydrox (anyone else remember those?),
and if he bought Fruit Roll-Ups, he would hide them in the trunk of his car so
he we couldn’t just go help ourselves. Also, if Cheerios were on sale, he would
stockpile them in the pantry. I guess when you have four kids you kind of have
to be like that. I can’t imagine being able to afford even one rugrat,
especially with the cost of living in California.

the color of your blouse is so pretty and looks wonderful on you. My father in law is way cheap. I remember a story my husband was telling me about when him and his sister really wanted to get a boogie board but their dad wouldnt buy them a new one so instead he bought one at the pawn shop and I guess the previous owners had an accident with it cause their was still dried blood on it. Thats cheap.
ReplyDeleteThere were four of us as well and we had no money growing up in southern California. My dad was an art teacher and mom stayed at home. We totally had boxed and canned food and shopped at Marshalls etc. When I was young I hated buying discount clothing and now I love it. I guess it sometimes takes a while to appreciate your roots :)
ReplyDeleteCute shoes!!!
The color of your sweater is so so pretty! I love when an outfit is entirely thrifted too. It's like a victory when an outfit costs a ridiculously low price.
ReplyDeleteHaha, your father sounds exactly like my mother! As one of seven kids, off brand Oreos were the only kind we got!
ReplyDeleteYay for completely thrifted outfits! I have the hardest time getting all thrifted outfits because of the shoes...my big feet can never fit into cute vintage heels that abound in my area.
Love this sweater.
ReplyDeleteMy experiences growing up were somewhat the same. We never had name brand anything, and my parents were pretty frugal with the snacks. Maybe it's just because we didn't have a lot of money, but I think most parents tend to start pinching pennies.
Your sweater is so cute- I love the color! And that's so amazing that your entire outfit cost less than $20!
