Yard Sale Haul
I recently went to my first yard sale ever!! I had to stop because I saw this beautiful
jacket that I thought I could wear to work while I was en route to Target. I didn’t know what to expect, but she had
some great suits, etc. that she was getting rid of.
I brought my
boyfriend along, and he decided to bring a backpack. He said, “You’re not going to walk with
just the jacket.” He was right! I ended up leaving with seven new pieces to
add to my closet. Two blazers, two
dresses, and two shirts.
I work in a
professional setting, when not working from home. The rule is usually to dress in business
attire when there is a court appearance or client meetings. Since COVID has derailed the way we do
business, I have been comfortably going into the office in super “business”
casual attire and sneakers. They’re more
comfortable than heels.
I am beginning
to go into the office more often and want to dress in business attire since I
will be seeing people again. After not
seeing most of my colleagues in over a year, I want to at least put some effort. Lord know we all need a little boost, and I
think I can achieve that boost by dressing up.
I found this long
black sleeve Kenneth Cole shirt that I absolutely love. The material is light. How chic is this? I already wore it to work. It’s sexy, it’s professional, it’s black!
I found this I.N.C
International Concepts dress that I couldn’t leave behind. It is a little to hot to wear right now but
come fall it will make its debut. I
think pairing this with red heels, a sleek ponytail and dangling earrings will
be perfect!
I couldn’t walk away without these two H&M blazers. I like to add a pop of color to my wardrobe. Blazers are versatile because you can dress them up or down depending on your mood.
I really liked
this long sleeve high wasted beige top.
I think it will look super cute with a high waisted skirt. What sold me were the folded sleeves. It’s super cute and I cannot wait to wear it!
I picked up this denim LRL Lauren Jeans Co. Ralf Lauren long sleeved top. I like dressing comfortable and can lounge around the house in it. After all, we are still in a pandemic, and I love to feel cozy. A part of me thinks this is such a “mom” shirt, but I love it.
Finally, I found
this adorable cargo styled Old Navy dress.
I love the color, the cut, the style.
I like that I can wear it to work and dress it up with a nice pair of
black pumps and gold jewelry, and dress it down wearing cute sandals.
I think for my first yard sale I picked up some cute clothes that will last a long while since they are in good condition. They may have only been worn a handful of times. In total I spent $14.00 for all seven pieces! I feel like I won the lottery…okay, maybe not the lottery, but I love the fact that I didn’t spend a lot of money on nice clothes.
I particularly cannot wait to wear the I.N.C. International Concepts dress. I love a good black dress, especially a sleek black dress. I’ll post a follow up picture when I wear it!
