Laura Gayle + Fashionista

No-Sew Coffee Date Dress-to-Top Refashion
Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion

Today’s outfit is mix of old and new (to me, anyways)!

I’m going for a late-50’s vibe today, friends!

The navy sweater is vintage Laura Gayle, and was thrifted for $1. Even though it’s acryllic, it’s incredibly soft, and I just love the zip-up back!

Zzzzzzzip!

Thanks for the comfy sweater, Laura!

That gorgeous flower brooch was my grandmother’s, along with my navy & white polka dot head scarf.

Those faux leather/lizard skin patterned pants are the priciest part of my ensemble, coming in at a whopping $25.

Nice!
Nice!

When a coworker of mine was getting ready to consign several pairs of jeans and pants (all high-end boutique brands) online, I bought a couple of pairs. While I’m not a size 10, I was able to take these in really easily. I promise to show you a tutorial on this soon! They’re surprisingly versatile, and I’ve already worn them several times, so I think I’ll end up getting my money’s worth.

A closer look!

  1. Can’t wait to see the tutorial for the pants! It will add a lot of flexibility to what we can repurpose from the thrift store!

  2. Love, love, love everything about this outfit and your cute poses! 🙂 I sometimes play that same calculation game: it’s a good day indeed when I am loving my look AND everything put together costs less than the price of one new shirt at my favorite store. Woo hoo!
