Because it’s such a long boring month. We really need to spice it up a bit. So let’s brighten up January! February is just as bad for me, but it lasts less long. Well, I can brighten up the month with my outfits, but that won’t be with very colorful outfits, because that’s just not me. But I think this beautiful dark floral sweater, with glitter, is quite colorful! And I even wore colorful boots with it that I find surprisingly nice with it. At first, of course, I went for the black ankle boots.
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.
Let’s Brighten Up January!
Emma choose this months theme and is a good one because we all think this month is so grey don’t we? I bought a few pre loved sweaters this season and this is the first one you see. I love the colors on this one and the glitter detail. This is a real sweater to me. We say jumper to knit sweaters and sweaters are the more sporty kind a jumpers often with a hoody. If you understand what I mean.
Let’s have a look at my beautiful fashion friends!

What better way to brighten up January than a turquoise faux fur coat?! I am currently studying abroad in Scotland, so I took this month’s thrifty collaboration as the perfect opportunity to go to my first charity shop last week. This fun jewel-toned jacket was the perfect find and only 12 pounds! It reminds me of something Keely from the show ‘Ted Lasso’ would wear.

An old saying without any real reason?
I bring you electric blue accessorised with turquoise, aqua and forest green…
…is it so terrible?
I feel like an angel in azure when I wear this striking evening dress…
It’s a feast for the eye and perfect for the Thrifty Six ‘Brighten up January’ theme.
Now didn’t we brighten up January there for a few minutes! Perhaps we motivated you to wear colors today. But better yet, we hope to inspire you to buy pre loved clothing more or at least to give it a try! Hopefully we will see you next monthe again with more from The Thrifty Six!
Such brilliant and colorful outfits! Your sweater is beautiful!

What a pretty sweater, Nancy! I love that shade of blue in the floral and your ankle boots are the perfect match! I really like the way it pops against the black background, too. You know I love those dark moody floral prints, too! Super pretty outfit and very much you!

I do love the dark floral sweater – I totally get the difference between a sweater and a jumper – and love your choice of ankle boots too! xxx

And did it cheer you up?
That is, indeed, a fabulous sweater! My first inclination would have also been black booties, but your choice is perfect! Love seeing all of this color…I agree with you…January and February are such blah months!

It’s nice to see bright colors in the dead of winter. I’m totally tired of black and gray.

Well, I do love dark colors but could use some color now too. And some sunshine!

Nothing dreary going on in any of these darling outfits. But, shhhh, yours is my favorite!! Love the sweater. Those colors, that powdery periwinkle blue in the print. And then those booties. Oh, my gosh. Perfection!! Thanks for sharing with us for the #agelessstyle link up.
