Hello everyone!

I was given a challenge from thredUP, a clothing resale website with brand name clothing, all in new condition, to buy and wear used clothing for 1 week.  It never occurred to me that it would be a challenge.  I love buying new or used clothes as long as they are clean and good in condition.  I have a lot of clothes that I had purchased throughout the years from the flea market to consignment stores and eBay.  So, when I was given this challenge, I was thrilled!

So off I went shopping at thredUP.  I was given up to $150 worth of clothing to shop.  I was in heaven once I logged in.  In addition to selling women’s brand name clothing, they also sell boys and girls.  I was able to 5 outfits for less than $150 (retail at $750).  Most of these items have never been worn and still have tags attached.  It’s like getting deals on eBay without the bidding wars.  Oh, the clothes arrived nicely wrapped in a green polka dots box…you have to love that!

For the next 5 weeks, I will post the outfits that I have worn for the week. Without further adieu, I’d like to share with you my 1^st outfit challenge: Gray Pleated Skirt from Express, and here’s how I wore it:

Gray is a muted neutral color that you can pair with almost any colors.  I chose to pair it with the color pink to inject a burst of color to my wardrobe.  The light pink linen sweater that’s been sitting in my closet for a while was a perfect match.  I finished the look with a skinny belt, an ankle strapped heels, and a statement necklace.  I wore this to dinner but you can wear this outfit to brunch, shopping, or PTA meetings.  What do you think about this outfit? How would you pair the gray skirt?
