You know how outfits in store displays look great? Well, I was in Forever 21 over the weekend and I was feeling the black and white lapel retro-inspired jacket ($27) just like the one below, styled with a bright pink shirt ($16) and gold chain ($12) on display. But I wasn't feeling the $60 outfit tag - and that included no bottom.
So you know I had to recreate the look -- thrift store style!Here's what I paid for my outfit:
- Jacket (Forever 21) $6 at Goodwill
- Top (Express) $5 at Goodwill
- Pants (old) $7, Target Clearance rack
- Shoes (Bloomingdale's) $6 at Goodwill
Not bad for under $25 - less than the price of the brand new jacket! Note: I still *may* go back and get that jacket. I was on Forever21.com and they are having a 20 percent off sale online and in-store with the code F21FRIEND. The jacket is sold out online, but I saw it at the mall.
Saving money on thrift store clothing allows me to purchase the items I really want.
