It snowed last night so naturally I wore a sweater to work, but I was dying!! I'm pretty sure I sweat buckets because it was so hot. Then I come outside and all the snow's gone. Oh, yeah. I also wore my faux leather jacket. Oh, Utah....you're like an ex-boyfriend I never want to remember again.
I'm so proud of my thriftastic outfit. Total? $23. Booyah. Should've worn this when it was colder though!
Wearing thrifted sweater ($5), thrifted belt ($2), DIY skirt ($3), tights from Korea ($5), and thrifted boots ($8).

Those boots are thrifted?!?! That's amazing! They're so cute.
That is a great sweater. I was going to joke that you are your hubby's "spring sweetie", but that's all year long! =)
Love the skirt with the boots. Adorable sweater too. This would be a perfect fall outfit! (I hope it gets cool enough in LA). (I'm wowed by your skirt skills! Pockets are so elusive to me).
Also, thanks for your comment today. I loved the idea of "too much culture." You're so right!
love your skirt! i want to try the DIY sometimes :)
I'm curious how the skirt is DIY. Also LOVE this outfit. Wow. It is perfect. You have such a knack for putting things together!
Also, :-( I wish I could enter your flat iron giveaway! But I cannot! I am from Canada. Oh wells.
You are lovely.
I adore your skirt Elaine, the fabric is so pretty.

I can't believe your whole outfit was only $21!!!
i have seriously been falling in love with this skirt! i love it with the white tights and the brown belt :)
Awww poor Utah! But I can totally understand!
That skirt and tights are so very cute together.
This is beautiful, more an autumn-like, but clothes and colors look very good together.
hi!!! Really beautifull outfit :-) i like it so so so much and also the place!!!
that skirt looks so great!! good job!! i sort of feel selfish that it's already shorts and tank top weather over here while you're still getting snow!
That skirt is awesome!
Loving all this layering. The white tights break up the outfit perfectly
I love the sweater and skirt combo - what a shame the weather wasn't helpful for you!

WOW that skirt print is lovely! I hope that spring comes soon and stays put out there!!!
wow, the price of your outfit definitely deserves a booya! that is awesome. the print of the skirt is beautiful, and i love the fuzzy sweater. you cannot tell one bit that you sweated in it :) i've been having the same issues with the weather lately- i can never tell what it'll be, so i either end up freezing or sweaty. sigh. ~joelle

That sweater works great with your skirt! And it snowed again this morning! This weather is so nutty. We'll be jealous of the nice sunshine you'll have in LA!

You and Tania are killing me! How cute and fabulous are these skirts?! I loved the pattern of this fabric! You are stunning! I loved the first picture, with the wind taking your hair and clothes to the right :P

It's nice to know that you're almost leaving Utah =) Ex-boyfriends are a pain in the neck and this horrible weather too, haha. Here in the capital is very dry and hot, the sky is alwasy clean, but then, when I get at my work, clouds come from nowhere and it starts raining! Everyday is a mess :P
I hate it =/
Oh, I have good news, Alex and I are buying our wedding rings today! Hahaha, how cool is that?
<3
xoxox, take care!
This is a great outfit! I cannot believe it is still that cold there, it is finally spring in Tennessee and I couldn't be happier!

Very cute Outfit!
I love that Sweater!!
i'm in love with this whole outfit :) ahhhhh to UT weather. it snowed at my house this morning.
cute cute! I love white tights at the mo!! xxx
Love this look! And all only $21? What a deal! The skirt is absolutely fabulous.
Ahaha nice comparison to Utah, that was funny. And your outfit is adorable, too bad it made you sweaty =( Blehh the weather right now really is bipolar!
Hahaha! You're so funny... an ex-BF? I love your skirt...so pretty! Have a great weekend! xoxo
I like your skirt pattern :D floral, but not too floral.
And your white stockings are really white o.o must be thick!
Love. those. boots.
(sorry i am so late on commenting today). i think this looks like the perfect spring compromise--it's warm, but light-looking and pretty.
and that new skirt is to die for! you're a genius.
Fabulous! Love thrifty deals!
Love the skirt!
I loooove this look! And it's been all schizo with the weather here too. I def. sweated buckets while driving around town.
i love the skirt and the the boots together .. this is one of my favorites :) you look so sweet and pretty
I am in love with that skirt. It's beautiful.
Utah weather sounds nearly identical to Colorado. We had snow yesterday morning and a relatively sunny afternoon. Sigh. So unpredictable.
How cool are the cheap outfits!? I wouldn't have guessed...but that's awesome. Do you have a lot of good thrift stores in Salt Lake City?
I really like this outfit!
Have a great Saturday!
Love all of this... even if you wore it because it snowed (ew, snow).
weather in utah sounds as schizophrenic as it is here in ohio... it was 80 degrees last week and over the weekend it was in the 50s... make up your mind! on the plus side, your sweater look delightfully warm and fuzzy!
xo.

Love the whole outfit...looks yummm...
$21?? Pro shopper. Besides personal style trumps a big budget any day.

Amazing! You look fabulous, and I don't think anyone else could pull it off!

I am just now finding your jem of a blog. I am a fellow thrifter and I love to post my outfits too! I'm so glad I found you!!
aww.! pretty skirt!! :D
this is a really cute outfit. awesome finds!
It is so nice to see you promote modesty. I've been in the works of starting a modesty ministry blog with my best friend for MONTHS and have been researching a lot before we release it, but it is so nice to see other bloggers who are into it, because I don't know of many at all. You are lovely and I have looked through tons of your posts and love them!
