What to do??

So sometimes I go into the thrift store, or am given and item, and I see it has mad potential, so I buy it. I mean why not? It is affordable and fabulous. Then I get it home and I realize I don't have an outfit for it yet. So here are a few items I have gotten recently that I have not figured out what to wear with them yet.

                                 
 I recently got these shoes for FREE! I was working to clean out one of the APO closets, and we had alot of clothes from a fundraiser a while back, so I grabbed these! they were practically new and my size! I can't wait to find something to wear them with!

So I recently got this belt at Last Chance. I have been on the hunt for a perfect, thick, black belt that did not look like it was made from melted plastic. I saw this one and fell in LOVE. I absolutely adore the cut out detail and the greyish black leather. Still looking for the perfect outfit to wear it with!                                                                                                                 I tried pairing it with a black skirt and men's v-neck, and I liked the look, ok (and will probably wear it) but this belt has so much more potential than that!  

 So I saw this Jacket in at Last Chance and I was skeptical about it, but it reminded me of a jacket that some of my friends have, so I picked it up, tried it on and really liked it! It was edgy, and looks great with dresses. I had to cut out the shoulder pads, and am anxious for cold to come so I can wear it! pretty good for $3.50.

 Another Last Chance find (from the same shopping spree as the jacket, and purple belt from pretty in purple. I saw this electric blue belt and instantly adored it! I have NO IDEA what to wear it with. I picked it up to go with a zebra print jacket, but it was gone before I could buy it! Hopefully you will see this belt again paired with an outfit!

Pretty in Purple

So one thing you will learn relatively quickly is that I am in a Sorority, and a Fraternity. I know what you are thinking..."what?? frat?? but you are a girl....or are you?? ahhhh I'm confused." Well I can assure you I am indeed a girl, but I am in a social greek organization and Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity.

However this outfit is inspired by my sorority. Our main color is violet. So anytime I see something purple in the racks, I am instantly drawn to it. 

Jeans: $5 (Last Chance Thrift store) 

Top $3 (Thrifted) 

Sweater $3 (KMart) 

Belt $0.50 (Last Chance) 

Total: $11.50

I got the purple top from a Thrift store my friend Jade introduced me to (I can't remember the name) but I almost did not buy this top. I thought it looked like I had curtains on my boobs.  She convinced me to get it, and now I LOVE it. It is so versatile, dress it up or down. 

The Jeans are from a thrift store called Last Chance and were pratically new, dark wash, wide leg for half off! On that same shopping spree I bought this purple belt ($0.50!!) I did not know what I would wear it with, but it matched the top PERFECTLY!

The sweater was a clearance rack find from Kmart....another thing you will learn, is I LOVE black sweaters, I have many....so I have taken to identifying them by political party. :p this is my" independent" sweater, classic (like consevatives) but the sequin pockets are more daring (liberal)
