OOTD: Outfit of the day

Happy New Year, ya'll!  I'm happy to post my first OOTD (outfit of the day) blog post, as I'm finding that every day practically, I am wearing something from the Sonshine Shop (SSS) thrift store.

The white cable knit sweater and the heart sweater are from the SSS, both under $5.00, in great condition, and super cute, no?

Every time I wear this skirt, I get compliments.  I call this skirt my "peacock skirt" because as you can see, it's so full of colors that remind me of bright peacock feather coloring.  If you can tell by the photo, there are some strands of iridescent silver/gold thread throughout the skirt as well.  Plus, I love that it has thin pleats all throughout.  And guess who gave it to me?!  My mom!  My mom has incredible fashion sense, and she has given me many clothes and items since she is so generous, and she just doesn't wear them anymore, she says.  I plan to showcase these clothes and jewelry in a blog series, so stay tuned.


Can you believe that I've had these adorable gloves for over 20 years?  Talk about vintage!  They were a gift from a good friend from overseas.  They are not only still in great condition but they are so cute with the seasons represented on them--spring, summer, fall, and winter.  I will be wearing them quite a bit this winter, that's for sure.

Lastly, my boots that I've worn a TON this winter so far.  They are super comfortable and go with everything.  These were also a thrift store find, practically brand new, and only $6.  I am usually wary of buying used shoes, but as I checked them out, I saw that they were hardly worn and didn't smell, which is always a plus with shoes, isn't it?  

The outfit total = free scarf (a gift) + SSS heart sweater (about $5) + SSS sweater vest (about $5) + my mom's skirt (a gift) + four season gloves (a gift) + thrifted boots (about $6) = less than $20!  This is why thrift store shopping is the way to go, people.  I'm excited to share more about the good finds that are possible.  In the meantime, go shop at the SSS located at 1971 S. Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90007, at the corner of Vermont Avenue and 20th Street directly north of the 10 freeway!  Peace.
