Today I am proud to present…BA BADA DAAAA (that was a trumpet)…an all-secondhand outfit!

The Loeffler Randall bag and Gucci loafers (#sofancy) were both purchased through The RealReal, the lace pants were a Poshmark find, the top I snagged at a local consignment shop, and the sunglasses — well, they might have been new, but I got them on eBay, so I’m counting it.

The ring is secondhand too — it came from Kristin’s grandmother’s jewelry box. Knowing her, it could just as easily be an authentic vintage piece as it could be from a Kohl’s sale 3 years ago. Unfortunately she’s not around for me to ask. But, I decided that what makes it special is who owned it before, not how much it’s worth. (That rule just applies to the grandma ring, not the Gucci loafers. Those things better be real.)

What?! Two looks in one post?! YES. And there’s leopard.

This leopard-print pajama-style blouse is another recent purchase from the French sustainable brand Balzac Paris (check out my earlier review here). I didn’t wear it 2 days in a row, but I did wear it twice within a couple weeks, happened to get photos of both outfits, so I figured why not post both looks together?

This way you get to see how versatile it is. You can wear it with jeans, or…with different jeans.

But you must admit – other than the denim, these are two very different outfits. One I wore to work (casual Friday), and the other I wore to play outside at the zoo. Option 1: concrete jungle. Option 2: actual jungle.

The wide leg jeans are from Madewell, and even though I don’t shop there much anymore since resolving to be more eco-friendly, I still say buy any jeans you really love, and then wear them enough to make it worth the buy.

These Stuart Weitzman pumps, on the other hand, I scored secondhand for twenty-six dollars. If you’re less patient and have money to spare, check out these.

And there you have it. One shirt, two (sort of similar) ways.
