Daily Threads: My Lisa Turtle Top Debut

  
       
       
              

  
top: thrifted, shorts: banana republic pants, shoes: bandolino {similar}  

So I'm pretty sure this is the most inexpensive outfit I've ever worn. The top was thrifted for $4, the shorts were a pair of pants that were given to me, but were too short - so I made them into shorts, and my shoes were bought on clearance at DSW - I'm pretty sure for less than $20 (and maybe even an additional percentage off that!). And I love it - the whole look is perfect - and that silk top is amazing during a hot day. Trust me! It's so light and airy. And it gives me a waist! Oh, it is love. Happy Weekend!

That top looks really great with the shorts, such a lovely combination for warm weather. I love outfits that didn't cost much to put together!

That top is fab! I said you'd give Lisa Turtle a run for her money and you did!

Bethany Suckrow said...

you know, I was really skeptical when I saw you purchased that the other day. maybe it was the lisa turtle reference that made it hard for me to visualize it in a chic outfit. but the top with the shorts and shoes looks AMAZING. I'm impressed!

You did so well with that pink shirt! Your whole outfit is so cute!

Bethany said...

I have really, ridiculously long, thin legs like yours (we are so blessed!) and have always had trouble finding shorts that look appropriate... I'm pretty sure I wear them too short because I'm afraid I'll look "old" in long ones, but those look PERFECT on you, just absolutely classy and perfect.

Also, I am see fuscia everywhere... and I love it!

I think you are one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen!!!!

egad! I looooove this look. I gotta be honest, when I first saw the top, I had a "what is she thinking?" moment but it looks so great on you and MUCH more expensive than $4. I love love love it, and you have officially inspired me to hit up my local thrift shop.

Outfits with that price tag are the best. I could see that with a belt and perhaps some crazy brooches or a big flower. Have fun remixing it.

caroline said...
