New Yorker Wanna-be

Today, I wore this outfit and a student came up to me and said that I looked like I was from New York. You may or may not agree, but I’ll take it.

Trench: Thrifted – Similar // Top: Urban – Similar // Jeans: Gap
Shoes: Talbots – Similar

*Note: When your jacket is a little too big, roll up the sleeves, and use a costume pearl necklace around the two back buckle loops for a more tailored look. (Sorry, there’s no picture of it, but here’s an example from ConnnieTang)

So this is my first official Thrifty Thursday post! Some other bloggers graciously added me to their #ThriftStyleThursday crew. Hmm, I’m just realizing that the criteria was for the entire outfit to be thrifted. OOPS. At least I followed the thrifted coat theme. I’ll do better next time girls.

Love your outfit and your photos – adorable! Welcome to Thrift Style Thursdays, hurray! I just joined last week (I had no idea the whole outfit it supposed to be thrifted either, oops!!) and it’s so much fun linking up with everyone! Love your style, so glad you’re part of the “crew!” 😉

Thanks! Actually, I was mistaken, not everything had to be thrifted. Just the theme. Yea, this is really fun to see everyone’s styles!

Hey girl, the entire outfit does not need to be thrifted. I believe the theme item must be, at least I have always done it that way. Anyways, welcome and thanks for joining!!! Loving the trench!!!

Who doesn’t love a good trench? Love your collared shirt by the way. And welcome to TST….yeah I don’t always have thrifted items but I try to have at least one in each outfit.
