Ariane (my fellow Canadian frugal fox & creator of the brilliant Kinsu upcycled denim brand) and I challenged each other to create a funky look out of the thrifted bits of awesome we received in our international swap:
are you diggin’ that glittery poncho she sent as much as I am?

Awesome Ariane also sent me her gorgeous embroidered tunic that I had been coveting:
But what looked fabulous on her appeared as if I’d been playing dress-up in an elementary school costume box on me.
a chop + a bit of elastic & a quick hem =
a delightful new skirt!
Earrings (handmade gift) €0 – Vintage blouse (thrifted) €1 – Skirt (refashioned) €0 – Knit socks (handmade gift) €0 – Geisswein galoshes (ebay) €14 & my solution for saving my bottom from being unintentionally flashed as I walk up the stairs in a skirt: a pair of boxer briefs
and a fantastic vest top!

Merci Beaucoup Ariane! J’aime mes nouvelles choses de “Thrift Outfit”!
