Wearing:
- Thrifted bow blouse
- Loft petite equestrian wool trousers
- New York & Co belt
- Jessica Simpson heels
Yesterday as my sister was taking my pictures, she commented that she liked my blouse and asked if it was new. I told her no, it’s the one I thrifted for $1, and that it wasn’t new. Maybe it’s because I tucked it in, or maybe it was the addition of the pearls, either way, I fooled her into thinking it was a new piece! My coworkers tell me they’ve never seen me wear the same thing twice, which is definitely NOT true, but I do try to come up with different ways of wearing items I own so that it doesn’t look like I’m wearing the same thing twice. Of course, I have my go-to, no-brainer outfits but it IS fun to play mix and match!
Here’s other ways I’ve worn this blouse (click to go to original post).
And those are just the times I wore this blouse that I was able to get pictures! I’d say this blouse has been worth the $1 I paid for it, right?

It totally looks like something you just bought at a store! Proof that everything comes back in style (for the most part) if you just wait long enough 🙂 Btw, this color is fantastic on you!!
I know! And it’s not helping me throw things in my closet out! Lol.
$1? I would never have guessed!
The blouse is very versatile, went with all the outfits beautifully, what an awesome deal!
Gotta love thrifting! 🙂
i adore this and $1, is way more than worth it..
Thank you love! One of my favorite bargain pieces!
I love this look…I want a tie blouse so badly…just waiting to find the perfect fit and color!
They’re are a TON out there but you’re right on finding the perfect fit! Oh the woes of a tall girl and a petite girl! 🙂
That is gorgeous!! You look fabulous.
Thank you Alicia! You are the sweetest!
I want a tie blouse. They are so versatile. This color looks fabulous on you and I love all of the outfits!
You wouldn’t think it, but they are! Plus, they’re so ladylike that it makes them the perfect piece to mix with skirts and pants. I hope you find one that works for you!
Omg – best find ever for $1. My mouth is gaping open! It looks more drapey and feminine than the Gap one I got for $30 plus had to alter down.
Gotta love thrifting! I almost didn’t buy this, can you believe it? Lol. Even at a dollar, I almost put it back. I was mostly put off by the polyester fabric, but geez, for $1, why not?
This blouse is such a fabulous piece. It is so flattering on you, looks great with your skin tone and the fact the you got it for $1 (and that someone donated it!) is like its meant to be! LOL
Yes, there’s a special place in my heart for my thrifted pieces for sure!
i’m the same way with trying not to repeat entire outfits. i usually will try to add or remove a layer or change it up with accessories at least! this blouse is such a great thrifting find!
WOW definitely worth the $1 it looks fabulous on you! Did you get those wool pants last year? I think I have the same ones!
I DID get these last year, and after I bought them, I saw them on most of the petite blogs as well. 🙂 I think that was right around the time I found out about that niche of bloggers. I had JUST started shopping LOFT and saw her picture on their FB page and was intrigued and a huge fan from first read!
Aw man..I was SO scrolling down to see where you purchased that fabulous blouse..and it’s thrifted…ugh! Great for you (and your wallet) not so great for my blouse envy.
LOVE IT!
Love the entire look.

I really like the blouse. Is there something similar out there? Can’t believe it’s $1. With my luck, it’s going to be way more than that. Great outfit.
Yes, $1 will be hard to beat! Do you thrift? You never know when you’ll get lucky. I really wasn’t looking for a blouse like this the day I got it, and actually put it BACK on the rack before having a change of heart (and still went to the register unsure as to whether I should buy or not). Can you believe I was going to put back this $1 blouse? Lol.
GAP had one, as seen on Jean of Extra Petite here: http://www.extrapetite.com/2011/09/september-shopping-hits-and-misses.htmlbut it is sold out online. You can check your store to see if they still have them! I actually had someone think that mine was the one from GAP. Good luck!
