When thrifting I don’t just look in the racks for my size, I also check the larger sizes and if I find something I like I’ll buy it. It can always be altered by taking it in; taking it up, rolling; cutting; belting or wearing it in a totally different way.
For example a skirt in a larger size especially with an elastic waist can be worn as a dress.

Inspired by Distressed Vests featured on page 246 of InStyle Magazine, here’s my look.
From April’s edition of Instyle magazine I was inspired by the “your Look/Three Ways Polka-Dot Skirt on page 217. I don’t have a Polka-Dot skirt but this is what I came up with using a Polka-Dot dress that I purchased in 2009.
