Thrifty Thursday: Remixing Mustard Jeans

I’m wearing my skinny yellow jeans again today. I paired them once before with orange and white. Today I chose complementary colors: yellow and purple.

T-shirt: Target ($3)
Pants: See by Chloe ($30)
Shoes: Payless ($15)
Sunglasses: Target: ($9)
Cuff: Greenbelts ($15)

I picked up this shirt at Target, on the deep discount rack. I figured for $3 it was at least gym-worthy. I’ve worn it a few times already and I like how it goes well with yellow. It’s slimcut but loose enough to stay comfortable on hot days. The darker top creates a completely different look compared to the last time I wore these pants. I was so happy to score the pants online (they were normally $200).

What deals have you gotten recently?

Thrifty Thursday: Mustard and Orange

Something’s gotten into me lately. In the past couple of months I’ve purchased a yellow dress, yellow tote bag, and now these yellow skinny jeans. I like yellow. I never really used to. This time last year, I didn’t own a single yellow thing.

I had a pair of skinny yellow jeans in the 80s, and these reminded me of good times in middle school, senior public, junior high, or whatever you call it. I found this pair online. They’re See by Chloe and were close to $200 before they went on sale. As luck would have it, only my size was available—and they were reduced to $30.

They were on my doorstep when I returned from Santa Fe. So with sunshine on my mind, I assembled this get-up.

Top: Old Navy ($10)
Pants: See by Chloe ($30)
Shoes: Target ($15)
Scarf: Street vendor in NYC ($5)
Sunglasses: Target ($10)
Bracelet and Necklace: Street artist in Santa Fe ($25 each)

To qualify for a thrifty outfit, the total has to come in at under $100. This outfit does—if you don’t count the jewelry. And jewelry is optional (compared to, say, a shirt), so I’m going to let this slide.

I got to try a couple of turquoise pieces that I bought in Santa Fe. I think the necklace and bracelet work well with yellow and orange (complimentary colors and all). Just for fun, I added animal print ballet flats. How do you wear animal prints? Are there certain colors you stay away from?
