Independence Day

- Outfits

Happy 4th of July!!!!! I hope you enjoy spending the day with friends, family or relaxing! Kind of random to have one day off in the middle of the week but I will be enjoying it at Lake Calhoun with some of my closest friends and my boyfriend.

Outfit Details
Striped T-Shirt, Thrfited H&M (Similar HERE and HERE) | Pencil Skirt, Thrifted NY&C (Similar HERE, HERE and HERE) | Heels, Nine West (Similar HERE) | Lipstick, MAC Matte Ruby Woo

I wore this 4th of July inspired look to work on Monday and the best part about the outfit is: THRFITED, THRIFTED, GIFTED! The outfit cost me a total of around $10. I found this red/orange NY&C button skirt at Goodwill for $4 and the military-style striped H&M shirt at Plato’s Closet for $6.  Then there are a pair of my absolute favorite pumps that my boyfriend got for me (if I had bought them the outfit would have been about $100… still pretty good!)

    I can’t decide which is my favorite piece of the outfit! I love the shoulders on the top, the skirt is fab and the shoes are amazing! Basically I just love this look!

    P.S. I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award 🙂
