Thrifted End of Summer Outfit

September 7, 2018

I fell in love with this red Pink Tartan skirt the moment I spotted it and crossed my fingers it would fit! That’s the one downside of thrifting, there is only one size. I was very lucky and this beautiful skirt fit perfectly. The Pink Tartan skirt is a great transition piece for fall as it is a heavier material. As I sat down to write this weeks blog I realized this entire outfit is thrifted!

This summer was all about stripes for me and I am continuing that theme into the first weeks of fall! I love stripes and every year my striped items in my wardrobe expands! Next year I am pretty sure I could feature a different striped piece every week! I think I have a stripe problem, lol. Anyone else love stripes? For fall I am going to layer some of my sleeveless shirts under heavier sweaters for those transition days. The stripes add a bit of lightness to the heavier sweaters of fall.

I am not normally one to thrift shoes as I find they do not fit me very well. If I am lucky enough to find a pair that are new or almost new, I am game to try them on. These wedge sandals have been with me for a couple summers now and they are a nice option for date night or casual meet ups. These shoes stumped me as I couldn’t find the brand online, but I was able to see the tag and they were leather so knew they would be a good investment.

I am going to keep wearing summer outfits with layers for fall until the weather is too cold! I know it’s September but the weather has still been really nice here in Vancouver and I am going to hold onto those last days of summer as long as I can.

3 simple ways to keep your summer wardrobe going:

Wear sleeveless shirts with a sweater or lightweight jacket.
Get out your tights! Floral, light or colourful tights are an easy way to wear your summer skirts.
Put on those boots! Low cut boots can make any outfit feel like fall.
