How nice to see you here. This month our theme is Coats! Only pre loved of course. Do you shop second hand? You really should give it a try. I was hesitant at first, a few years ago, but now I am loving it! So much more unique items to shop for!
Welcome to The Thrifty Six. We are a group of international fashion influencers who meet once a month in our little space on the internet to share our thrifty outfits. On the third Monday of every month, we will all share an outfit based on a theme that features pre loved wardrobe pieces. Shopping and reselling pre loved clothing is so much better for the environment and you can find some of the best fashions in thrift or charity shops. The Thrifty Six are here to inspire you to shop second hand.
My, only, pre loved coat, and not for long….
When Jane mentioned she had chosen coats as our November’s theme I thought, gosh I have to shop for a pre loved coat. I do have jackets and blazers, but no coats. I already ordered a leopard print one on a second hand site, but wasn’t really pleased with it. And then it hit me!! I have a Viktor&Rolf for H&M trenchcoat in my closet! How could I forget about that one. Well, probably because I never wear it. It’s a bit to snug and so heavy. But it’s a gorgeous coat!
But because I never wear it, I am going to sell it. Hope that someone else will wear this gorgeous trenchcoat. It’s on my Vinted page.

I found this plush leopard coat a few years ago at my local thrift store and it is one of my favorite, coziest coats that I own. I love wrapping up in it on cold days. I feel kind of like a movie star when I throw it on over jeans.

Winter coats I’ve known and loved…
In my mind, I flick fondly through my winter coat ‘back-catalogue’…
…cashmere, tweed, Marino wool, faux fur, such beautiful colours, shiny buttons and sometimes matching scarves or hats.
Through the years they’ve kept me warm, made me happy and enhanced my fashion statement!
All now worn out, sold, lost, out-grown or given to charity…
…always making space for more…
…like this dream in cream, the latest addition to my collection…
Oooooooh I do love a winter coat!
Did we give you some inspiration to buy pre loved? Or to at least give it a try? If you have a suggestion of what you want to show us, just say so in the comments! We hope to see you next month!
I would really appreciate it if you would follow me on Instagram.
ohh so cute with the heart details! ❤️ I think you look amazing in it Nancy. Sad the coat is to heavy for you.
I wish you a great monday

Thanks! Have a good start of the week!
Nancy, I love this trench coat so much! The heart details are just too cute. It looks fabulous on you! Coats are my favorite thing to shop second hand for so I had lots to choose from for this prompt. I can’t wait to see what other thrifted coats you find in the future!
Have a fabulous week ahead, my friend!

It doesn’t! Haha, have no idea why not!
I think all my coats – and I do have a lot of them – are pre-loved …
Yours is gorgeous, that hear-shaped buckle is really unusual. Such a shame you are never wearing it! xxx

Yes it is, it is just to tight. But it is such a gorgeous one.
Coats are one of those things I just don’t buy. I think it’s because I don’t ever find ones that I love. This trench coat, though! It is amazing! It would be interesting to know its story, wouldn’t it?
Author
Yes it would! I alo never can find any good coats!
Oh, that belt. Isn’t that so fun??
I have so many coats that used to be my mom’s, and even though we live in AZ where you don’t need them as much, I keep adding more, haha.

Yes it has! I love those hearts!
A really gorgeous, and flattering coat! I know what you mean though. I had a coat I really liked, but never wore because it was just too heavy. Give me a jacket and/or sweater any day!
Author
Yes me to, I have a long wool coat that is so gorgeous, but so unhandy for in the car!
So many fun coats!

Thanks.
I have a few coats I inherited from my grandmother that I just love and I used to work at a consignment shop in college where my love of pea coats was born. You are all so stylish in your “new” coats!
Author
Ah those really old coats are the best and often much warmer then they make now!
You’ve all wrapped this one up very well, I love all your different styles. Thanks for adding to my #linkup Nancy. Jacqui x
