I’ve always had a lurv/hate relationship with fringe. Growing up on the Canadian prairies meant my fair share of countrified outfits sporting those strings & tassels that seemed to catch & grab onto just about everything & annoy my young self to no end.
However with age comes maturity, life experience and the knowledge that when done right FRINGE IS AWESOME!
And so I present not one but two fabulous fringed ensembles for A Fringed #ThriftyThursday:
and casual boho kimono!
Sunglasses (thrifted ) €0.20 – Fringed faux leather jacket (thrifted) €4 – Sweatshirt dress (thrifted & refashioned) €1 – Tights (had for years) €0 – Biker boots (ebay) €4 – Sunglasses (thrifted ) €0.20 – Fringed kimono (thrifted & refashioned) €3 – White top (had for years) €0 – Belt (thrifted) €1 – Jeans (had for years) €0 – Schweden Clogs (had for 17 years – now that’s quality!) €0
Total cost for both outfits: €13.40
…and that boho kimono makes for a great neighbourhood street fair look!
Prairie girls rock!
That jacket is one of a kind piece & you are rockin it girl! Don’t know if I could ever pull out fringe…will have to try someday:) Your little girl looks lovely 🙂
Merci Ariane! La frange est fabuleuse vous devez trouver certains! ma fille est un petit comédien hilarant! 😉
I always look forward to your TST posts. You must have an amazing closet! I love the fringed jacket. I can just see you in that, driving a Harley with the fringe flapping behind you in the wind. 🙂
Thanks so much Erika! My wardrobe is eclectically awesome and I’m super proud to say that it’s 95% thrifted/refashioned/vintage/handmade – the only things I buy new are under garments & swimwear (& only from ethically produced brands) 🙂
AHHHHH I knew you would have awesome stuff for this week! I agree with Kristi, I can’t pick a favorite! Love both of these looks on you!
Cheers Justine – and I have yet to thrift anything specifically for TST, if I don’t have something that’s directly in line with a theme I simply DIY it or get my imagination in gear & do some “creative styling”…for me Thrift Style Thursday is all about inspiring others to step away from fast fashion & chain stores and embrace the wonderful world of second hand & DIY 😀
Oh.My.Gosh! I can’t decide which look I love more, so I won’t, I love them both!! Awesome stylng and superb thrifted finds! 🙂
Thanks Kristi…I’d give them both up for a pair of your wicked mocassins in my size though! 😉
I TOTALLY dig that jacket. I love how long the fringe is. I’m not a huge fringe fan but that jacket is just like “go big or go home.” Also, apparently no one is as thrilled about the “lingerie as outerwear” theme as I am for TST. haha.
The fringe is definitely long…I’ve had a few accidental “unintentionally-whipping-the-person-nearest-to-me” incidents when I turn around quickly 😉
*I’m in total agreement with you on the fabulous lingerie as outerwear theme – I’m into doing a one-off thrifty outfit post ourselves if you are…?
Love the first jacket, we are basically twins this week!
ha ha…nearly, but you have those lovely legs that go on for days! 😉
Woo! Best blog post comment, ever! You’re too sweet <3
Awesome jacket, Sheri!
Thanks Meg…it was such a thrifty steal & looks pretty damn awesome with almost anything! 😉
I can’t decide which I like better! The jacket is crazy awesome, but I love the colors in the kimono! Both very fun looks!
Cheers Beth…I never thought I’d like fringe but it’s definitely grown on me over the years!
Black Jacket :))
I lurv it too! I was sooo shocked when I discovered it last year at the charity shop in mint condition for a mere €4! Score! 😀
