What She Wore-Thrifty Edition

I'm starting a new project called 'What She Wore' featuring my daughter Katelyn! She's my beautiful, photogenic and stylish girl!  Her love for fashion started very early.  Growing up she loved dress up, shopping and twirly dresses and when she was 8 years old she wanted to start her own clothing business.  I'm sure she will do it, along with all of the other goals she has for herself. 

She has a knack for pulling cute outfits together.  Like most teenage girls, she loves to shop at the mall with her friends.  But after some coaching from this thrifty mama, she has even turned into quite the little thrifter!  It took some time for her to get used to the whole thrift store thing...the first few times were interesting with her...ummmm, well because you know Goodwill smells a bit different than Hollister and Abercrombie ;) but after going thrifting with me a few times, she soon discovered how much fun it was and especially all of the great deals to be had out there!  She still likes to go to the mall though, oh and shop online too, she has a knack for that as well!

So here are a couple of her recent outfits.  These looks feature quite a few of our recent thrifty finds!

On this day Katelyn had an audition for a movie here in Phoenix.  She had to dress like a preppy, fashionable, high school girl.  We pulled this look together from some recent Goodwill finds.  I thought she looked adorable and her audition went very well.  I was so proud of her! Hopefully she will get a callback!
   
Shirt: Abercrombie, thrifted / Shorts: Gap, thrifted  / Belt: thrifted / Shoes: Toms, (she saved up and bought these herself) / Purse: Brahmin, thrifted




This next outfit she recently wore to church.  I was so excited when I found this dress for her at a new Goodwill that just opened near our house.  She was with me that day, so she got a chance to try it on and really liked it. Yay that I can still find things she likes....sometimes!  Oh and she found the Brahmin purse, that is also shown in the above outfit, on that same day!  That's my thrifty girl!

 Dress: Urban Renewal, thrifted / Shoes: Candies, old / Purse: Brahmin, thrifted / Sunglasses: Ray Ban, gently used, she saved up and bought these on eBay



I love my sweet girl and her fun style! Ohh and her thriftiness too!

Cute preppy look! Very simple yet well put together. And great boho look. Are you a Gemini? I think that is about as opposite on the fashion spectrum as you can get! LOL. But you wear both well! Stopping by from WIWW.
