Thrifted Threads: A $1 Vintage Plaid Skirt

Remember that vintage $1-$2 sale I attended at the City Museum last November?  It has taken me this long to finally get my items dry-cleaned and altered (where necessary).

Today, I’m sporting the plaid skirt I purchased for $1.  It was originally a midi length skirt, so I had it shortened to just above the knee, a much more flattering length for my height/shape.

Yesterday, I planned for a simple look—a crisp white shirt paired with the plaid skirt.  It was so cold, though, that I had to add a cardigan.  Here’s the final look.

Shirt—Loft | similar
Skirt—Vintage via The Bale Out
Belt—Anthropologie
Tights—Dolci Calze via Marshalls
Booties—Biviel via Amazon
Bag—Michael Kors via Macy’s
Coat—Anthropologie ‘Dusken Funnelneck’ coat
Earrings—Kendra Scott
Watch—Michael Kors via Nordstrom Rack

      Unbelievable find, right? My only regret is not purchasing the other 4 skirts I had picked out at the vintage sale. I was trying not to get carried away just because items were cheap.

    So cute. You're inspiring me to get back into thrifting. When I lived in Ann Arbor I had a lot of luck but now being in Durham, NC I'm struggling….

      I hear you, Tracyata! Would you believe I only started thrifting (seriously) last year? I'm now hooked. Good luck finding gems in NC.
