thrift store

{Old Navy Coat, Zara Dress (similar), H&M Snood (similar), Mittens & Earmuffs, Thrifted Boots}

As promised, today’s outfit features leopard spots and a double dose of polka dots.  After eyeing this coat for ages, I finally pounced when I saw it go on super duper discount for just $19.  Three cheers for the Old Navy clearance rack!

Since this jacket is somewhat lightweight, I decided to go full-throttle with the winter accessories. My friends sometimes make fun of me for wearing mittens, but they really are soooo much warmer than gloves.  And because my pony puff refuses to be confined under a hat, I figured earmuffs and a good snood were in order.

A dress that does triple duty as a built-in scarf and hood..?  Yes, please!

I’ve been on the hunt for a nice fairisle sweater for a while, and I almost passed up this little number at Rugby the other day.  I was on my way out of the store, when I spotted it neatly folded on the clearance table.  I didn’t even realize it was a dress at first, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem.  It’s really thick and cozy, and I’ve worn it twice already in the 72-hours since I bought it (don’t judge, it’s cold outside!).

In other news, my husband had a grand ol’ time making fun of me and my abysmal vertical leap while taking these photos.  He didn’t believe me when I tried to blame it on the heels, but I think I impressed him a little bit with my tuck jump… or maybe not.
