the colors in autumn so bright just before they lose it all

- overview of today's outfit -
Lots of mint and various shades of blue today - it's not noticeable until you're close up, but this shirt features a light lavender as well.

3/4 sleeve shirt | talbots, thrifted
mint chino pants | h&m
leatherette saddle bag - old navy (clearance)
I recently got into thrifting and love the rush a good find gives me.  I grabbed this Talbots knit top at the last minute and I'm in love with the way it fits. The shirt is very colorful as I mentioned before and features a richer green at the bottom - perfect for fall, right?

This saddle bag is one of the best cheap finds I've made.  I found it in an Old Navy's clearance section and ended up getting it for $4.  It's a smaller size bag than I typically carry, but I can fit my iPhone, small wallet, Ray Bans, a pack of gum, and car keys into it.  Considering I used it for the end of spring, through the summer and am still carrying it, I'd say it's a pretty well spent $4.

necklace | charlotte russe
This style was (and still is!) featured on Baublebar over the summer and I loved the wide variety of color they've come out with.  I wasn't thrilled about the $35 price tag so I held out and browsed Etsy and Ebay to look for similar styles at lower prices.  I was so surprised when a friend of mine told me to check my local Charlotte Russe -- she'd found the same necklace in two colors at hers and they retail at $6!

double wrap logo stud bracelet | tory burch (similar here)
I got this last year as a Christmas gift and don't wear it nearly enough. The color is beautiful and I love the logo studs.

  1. OK-- I have to say that I love everything about this post. From the title (I'm a huge Taylor fan), to your outfit. And I can't believe you got that necklace for $6! They have really similar ones at JCrew for almost ten times the price.

    1. Thanks so much for reading my post! I know, I was so stoked after I had tracked the necklace down because who wants to pay that much when you can find it for so, so, so much cheaper?

    1. Finding out that something you like is on sale is probably one of the best feelings in the world. I follow you on Instagram and then decided to start blogging and have to tell you that I love your blog, but more importantly your sense of style and how you mix splurge pieces with non splurge pieces.
