This orange silk top is part of my last big thrift haul. It's from a store in New Canaan CT (where the rich people live) and all the clothing there was half off. I left with this bright orange tank, a white Loft pencil skirt, a black Banana Republic tee, and a grey cashmere hoodie. I got it all for $30, which is both a lot of money, and not a lot of money. Thrift shopping is funny like that.

I need that jacket! I just got a utility vest -- very excited! -- and have a camo jacket similar to this. They're so fun and versatile for the summer. You look so perfect here.

The utility jacket is a must have in every girl's wardrobe. Super cute look and your legs look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get myself a utility jacket, I've wanted one for a couple years and still haven't done it, haha. Love that silk top too, such a great color

You do a fabulous job mixing textures. That sheen on the orange top is great with the utility jacket. The thing about utility jackets is they are great for all year. I also love all the pockets. Four items (which I'm sure are all great quality) for $30 is a good deal, but I get where you're coming from on it being a lot too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I got a utility jacket this year...it really is a wardrobe staple! I have to scope out the thrift stores in rich neighborhoods near me :)

I don' t have that jacket. Womp. Womp. Buttttt I regret now not getting it because it looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteThose white shorts have dressed up this casual look. Gold is such a chic touch too. There are some basic pieces which always works seems to with everything.

I need that jacket! It's so perfect for cool summer nights! And what an amazing deal at that thrift store! Love your tank!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get a new utility jacket. Mine is in less than stellar shape. I should check out Old Navy!

Things I can relate to in this post:
ReplyDelete1. shopping at thrift stores where the rich people live. LOL! They donate the best stuff! There is a Goodwill by the college campus in Boulder CO that I go to because they always have J. Crew and Banana Republic and all the great name brand goodies!
2. Utility jackets. I just did a remix of mine. I love it. They are the best jacket ever--next to denim and the trench of course.
3. $30 at a thrift store is a decent amount of money. But it usually means you got a lot of great stuff out of it.
I love the olive, white and orange combo here Lydia!
Love this look! That utility jacket is perfect!

Love your mix of orange, military green and blue here, so chic!
ReplyDeleteThe colors go wonderful together and of course I like the idea of a jacket with shorts.
ReplyDeleteI do not own a utility jacket, maybe I should.
So cute! Love this look! And, for the record, I do not have this jacket. Although I wish I did...

Ah, the utility jacket. It's true that everyone has one, including me - but sometimes there's a reason for that, like the incredible practicality and total comfort of the piece. Plus, they go with everything. Even, apparently, shorts! I never thought of it but I will be trying it now :) And as for your thrift haul... four pieces including cashmere for $30? I am, as ever, seriously impressed.

Ooh that utility jacket definitely works well with your bright outfit! $30 rocks for all those goodies!

I have a utility jacket that I bought years ago from Loft that I don't give it much love. Yours is a great fit and perfect with the orange top. I think you did pretty good with your shopping haul for $30!

Ha! Well you're not wrong...everybody DOES have that jacket. I was tempted to get one, but I kind of feel like it'll be out of style next season when everyone gets tired of seeing it all around.
