Denim Days-The Thrifty Six

Shelbee has chosen denim days as our April’s theme. Now, I don’t wear denim that often. I have now 3 pair of jeans, which is a lot for me. And two denim skirts, that’s it. So did I hunt on Vinted for this one?

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 denim days can be counted on one hand

I had a few bad buys on Vinted lately, and it really put me of to buy something again. But I didn’t have a pre loved denim item in my closet! What to do? And then I remembered I had ones bought a denim blouse on Vinted. I guess I sold it on pretty quickly as I can’t even remember wearing it, but here is the proof! It’s to oversized, don’t like that. Perhaps it’s time to look for a more fitted one as I think denim  blouses are super cool! And I actually like double denim a lot. Weird for someone who doesn’t like jeans!

My fashion friends in denim!

I don’t have a lot of thrifted denim but this jacket is my favourite. Many years ago, a friend gave me this Gap jacket but I didn’t wear it as I had another one already. Consequently, I almost gave it to the charity shop. But then I saw a trend for patches on denim jackets so I decided to try a little DIY with patches representing my favourite things, such as music and cats. When I pulled it out of the wardrobe for these photos, I remembered that I had two more patches that I hadn’t yet put on, so I quickly added those too! And I’m not done yet…there’s still more space to fill!

When I heard the denim theme, I knew right away I wanted to photograph this fabulous denim dress that I got at my favorite consignment store in Las Vegas, Alt Rebel. It’s from Eva Mendes’ clothing line, which seems obvious because it’s got that signature va-va-voom look of hers! I thought it would be so cute for spring with a bright lip and pops of color in the accessories. The only problem is, I’m not sure where to wear it!

I couldn’t pass up these jeans while thrifting last year. The two-toned effect was super fun and they fit so well. Everything except the sling bag is preloved and was perfect for our spring weather.

…when it comes to ‘bang for your buck’, this outfit definitely delivers!

Look at the volume of denim fabric in this oversized shirt…

…and yet more in the capacious cargo jeans – they’re enormous!

It’s all menswear so I’m vamping it up with a cheeky denim bra.

A flash of utilitarian lingerie is just enough sass to make it sexy!

This thrifted denim skirt made its first appearance for our first Thrifty 6 post nearly four years ago. But it was white back then. It ended up getting all stained and dirty so I dyed it. I love finding creative ways to give new life to old unwanted clothing. A little dye goes a long way! Because I didn’t originally style this outfit for a thrifty challenge, the only other preloved item is my rainbow snakeskin backpack.

Even denim is good pre loved! We hope we can inspire you into some thrift shopping. And we are still looking for someone who wants to join us in these series every month!
