DIY Derby Hat, Navy Clutch, quilted clutch, Statement Necklace, Summer Tunic, Thrift Store Fashion, tunic over shorts

Saturday was the Ketucky Derby and we were invited to a Derby Party — the whole family had a blast! The invitation said hats required, like I need an excuse to wear a hat.:)

I whipped up one for me and one for G the morning of the party using a hat we already had and a Thrift Store find ($4.99), a wide ivory grosgrain ribbon that I found in my stash of ribbons, blush pink silk roses I bought at The Christmas Tree Store for $10.00 and a hot glue gun.

The outfit was inspired by OP. I love the idea of layering a shorter dress or tunic with a pair of shorts that just peek out from underneath. I bought the navy and ivory Paper Crane tunic, along with 3 other dresses (to be revealed soon) at Marshall’s. Each was $19.99. The navy shorts (you can barely see them, but they’re there) are J.Crew 4″ Chino Short. I only go with 4″. I don’t know why but they are the perfect length for me. The belt and watch are from Target, the sandals are Nine West (TJ Maxx), the purse is a Thrift Store Find from last year (also seen here), necklace is from my ridiculous JCPenney jewelry buy last fall (also seen here).

Boho? Bring it!

This has been one of my favorite outfits this spring. I bought the top at JC Penneys on clearance for $15.00. It’s made by Alyx and they call it a bubble top because it has a loose elastic bottom which makes it poof perfectly. The bell sleeves have lattice trim adding interest to an otherwise plain white top. This top will get me from spring and through summer easily. I see jean shorts and sandals. These jeans are GAP 1969 (also seen here and here) and quite old at this point — 3 years maybe (similar here). The boots are Ivanka Trump (also seen here) and I have worn the heck out of them, and love that they go all the way to my knees. The belt is the Thrift Store Find. I can’t remember how much it cost, but if it was more than $5 I would be very surprised. It is totally unique, which is why I browse thrift stores all the time. Sunglasses are RayBan 55 mm Aviators gold matte with brown lenses.

More? It’s not possible.

Blanket Scarf, Denim Dress, Over the Knee Suede Boots, Plaid Blazer, Thrift Store Fashion, Winter Layers

I can read your mind. More Plaid? YES! and this is not the end of it either! This blazer was a fabulous thrift store find. I could not resist. I thought it would be great with lots of things and for the price if I wore it twice, I’d be happy. I also thought I’d wear it sometime over the holidays but that didn’t happen so I am debuting it today. I layered it with a a small blanket scarf inspired by photos I’ve seen recently (I can’t remember where) and a belt. My denim dress (seen here with the same belt) from Kohl’s is over a light heather grey long sleeved shirt. I finished the look with black tights and suede over the knee boots (seen here, here, here and here), which are not warm at all but look so good with the outfit.
