This picture from Stitch Fix has been saved on my computer since March. BlogFix I loved the look and knew I could recreate it with similar pieces from Goodwill.

Stitch Fix is an online shopping company that ships clothing for you to try on at home and either keep (and pay for) or return. I like the idea, but being a frugal fashionista, it’s one luxury I would never indulge in since 90% of my wardrobe comes from Goodwill.

The off-the-shoulder top was the hardest to locate and just recently, I found a suitable facsimile at Goodwill in Royersford, PA. This navy floral top from Loft has adjustable ties on the sleeves and a gathered waistband. I wear it normally for work with more causal jeans or shorts.

BlogFix1 The jeans are by Uniqlo and my daughter has already taken then from me. They are a dark wash with a stretchy fit with zippers at the ankles. Uniqlo is a Japanese fashion retailer with stores in major US cities, so I was excited to find them at the Goodwill in Morgantown, PA on half-off day! They retail for about $40.

Nude, gladiator wedges by Nature Breeze are a versatile neutral shoe that will work with many outfits. BlogFix3 Nude shoes elongate the leg and give you a taller, leaner look. (If you’re into that sort of thing…) I picked up the mint green Paste leather handbag at this year’s Goodwill Runway Show (it’s a spring fundraiser for Goodwill). I added in a pendant necklace (featured on a previous blog post) to complete the look.

While it is not an exact match for my inspiration picture, it’s pretty darn close and I know I did not spend nearly as much as I would have from Stitch Fix. Goodwill is my very own “Thrift Fix”.

Happy Thrifting, Kirsten
