Necklines-The Thrifty Six

Isn’t that a interesting theme, necklines? Because there are so many, actually! My favorite is the V-neck, but that’s not what I’m showing today. I’m very curious to see what my friends are wearing, are you?

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.

Necklines

This top has a neckline I don’t wear very often. I usually don’t like high-necked tops. But this one is so cute. The print, of course too. It’s a bit of a Peter Pan collar. The top has buttons at the back and a trumpet sleeve. This top is pre-loved, from the brand I worked for, bought on Vinted.

Let’s see what my friends are wearing

I don’t like turtlenecks, but cowlneck tops are a nice alternative. For this look, I wore a thrifted CJ Banks cowlneck top in a fabulously versatile denim blue color and comfortable tech fabric with a pair of thrifted plaid Old Navy pixie pants. I usually wear animal print shoes with these pants, but to stay true to the thrifted theme, I wore thrifted floral Target loafers instead, and I loved the combination! (Finding fabulous new pairings from our existing closets is one of the best things about participating in style challenges.) I finished off the outfit with layered necklaces and a memory wire bracelet (all homemade except the tassel necklace) and a simple pair of gold hoop earrings that were part of a grab bag purchase.

I have had this blue thrifted dress for years but this is the first time I have worn it. I was drawn to the color and the unique embroidered neckline when I purchased it. The silhouette is not very flattering on me so I have struggled to style it. Enter this newly thrifted floral robe which completely hides the unflattering silhouette and allows the beautiful cobalt blue color and the fancy neckline to shine! It was the perfect piece to highlight for this thrifty theme.

Necklines’ is the T6 theme for March, a fantastic opportunity to shamelessly display the most attractive part of any woman’s body – the collarbones!

Regardless of your age, shape or size, it’s highly likely that you have great collarbones, I’m always more than happy to reveal mine to the world!

So here I am completely unabashed in a scarlet red wiggle dress, freezing cold but feeling like a Hollywood film star!

I had my crew showcase the different options with crew neck tops because I feel like they get a bad wrap, haha.
Anyway, my contribution was wearing a crew neck with a v-neck.
Almost everything I’m wearing (besides the jewelry and glasses) is thrifted, and while the proportions are a bit wonky, I wanted it to look artsy and unique.
In fact, I thrifted jeans that were too long and sewed them up so they are cuffed, like the trend.
Now wait until you see my mom and Valerie’s options…”

I’ve seen collarless jackets are back on trend, and although it’s not a style I would typically go for, I decided to challenge myself to see if I could make it work for me. I’d completely forgotten about this longline jacket that I bought in a charity shop a few years ago until I reorganised my coat rail and found it underneath another one. It was the colour that appealed to me more than the style. I’ve never worn it before – it still had the price tag on it! After trying various different combinations, I settled on a cream floral print top with a shirred neckline and pale green trousers for a spring colour palette.

 

So, what is your favourite neckline? And did we perhaps inspire you to buy pre loved clothing? We hope we did, it’s fun and often  you can find gems!

    I don’t like high necks either but your blouse is so pretty! I love how all 6 of us featured totally different neckline styles. What a fun and interesting theme this month!

    I think the print makes the neckline so fabulous

    Such a fun theme! It’s amazing how much a neckline can change the whole feel of an outfit. I love seeing everyone’s thrifted looks—it’s such a great reminder that secondhand pieces can be just as stylish and unique. Thanks for the inspiration!

    That blouse is absolutely gorgeous – I love the print, and even though I am also not a high neckline person, I would happily make an exception for those birds!

    My favorites are turtlenecks, but sweaters are too warm for me, so I don’t wear them anymore.
    I like tunic necklines, round ones and I really love the square ones that some of my dresses have, but I don’t see these a lot (on something I like).
