As warm weather lingers just beyond our reach, there is still time to stock up on fashionable and affordable clothes at your local Goodwill store! Check out this week’s outfit!
I LOVE this outfit! When I saw these capri-cropped tribal pants, I couldn’t pass them up. Tribal patterns are very in this season and at a low $4.99, how could anyone resist? This is a great summer outfit that easily transfers from daytime to nighttime with this great barn jacket paired with flats. The barn jacket is a bit menswear, but who doesn’t love an oversized men’s jacket that makes you look like you hung out with Bear Grylls all day? It gives this urban style a Brokeback Mountain nature feel.
I felt that my accessories and hair needed to be simple because of the elaborate pattern of the pants. I kept my high bun, featured in my first outfit, tribal gold earrings, and a black quilted bag. I am also wearing my favorite pair of shoes, from Tobi.com, which I call “Dad” shoes. My Dad wore these shoes, except embellished with red souls instead of pink, and I believe it pairs well with my menswear jacket.
I cannot wait to wear this walking around Boston and then hopping the T to my hometown streets of Allston for a summer barbecue. Totaling only $22.95, excluding the shoes and earrings, this outfit is irresistible! Now let’s compare to retail prices at popular clothing stores:
Urban Outfitters BDG Breezy Slub Button-Down Shirt
for $29.00
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Karmaloop See You Monday, The Coachella Legging
for $23.00
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
J. Crew Barn Jacket for $168.00
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Forever 21 Quilted Spiked Crossbody
for $32.80
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Ray-Ban Clubmaster
$155.00
This outfit’s grand total comes to a whopping $407.80! My outfit assembled with clothing from the Goodwill is only 17% of the retail cost. Five items for roughly four dollars each instead of five items for $407.80 is a lot easier on my wallet. You can still look trendy without breaking the bank.
I hope everyone enjoys this week’s installment of Goodwill Hunting and stay tuned for more outfits to come!
