Fashion Friday: Pearl power



Button-up: Charlotte Russe (thrifted) | Top: Heritage (Costco) | Jeans: Paper Denim & Cloth (old) | Shoes: ShoeMint

I recently discovered the joy of trading in my old clothes. A new store just opened up in our neighborhood that accepts gently used clothing, shoes and accessories and pays you in cash or store credit.

Of course, I thought this was fantastic and weeded out a bunch of clothes that I never wear anymore — and Andrew went through his closet, too. Then we browsed the store for gems. So far, I've scored this great pearl-collar shirt and a beautiful wool peacoat (that you'll be seeing on this blog soon). It makes me happy to know that I'm not spending any more money but still getting new clothes that I love.

And this button-up is already a favorite. I think it's cute layered, but it would also look great on its own with a full skirt.

Have you ever traded clothes in? Did you have a good experience?

    You look lovely and I love the shoes. xxx
