It was my turn to choose the theme and I had, show your Zodiac sign, in mind. Now I didn’t make it very easy for myself. But I don’t want to give too much away, because the best thing is of course if you guess which zodiac sign is mine before I reveal it.
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.
Can you guess mine?
And have you given it a thought?
My zodiac sign is achievement-oriented, perfectionist and tidy. But also so focused on achieving goals that this sign can also have an overly critical attitude. And is easily tense and anxious. My zodiac sign is honest, loyal and reliable. And good at cheering up other people.
And? Did you guess? My zodiac sign is Virgo! And how do I adjust my outfit to my zodiac sign? Virgo doesn’t like too much hassle. Not even in their outfit. It should look simple, coordinated and elegant. A few beautiful pieces of jewelry are more than enough. The Virgo does not need much, she radiates from within!
And see here! This is me! Simple, matchy matchy and elegant. Pre loved top from Costes, via Vinted, skirt from Zara and very old boots.
What Zodiac signs are my fashion friends?

My zodiac sign is Cancer, a water sign symbolised by the crab. Cancerians are ruled by the moon and said to be passionate, caring, sensitive, creative and secretive. I chose a vintage shirt in a blue pattern to represent water and silver cropped trousers, sandals and thrifted cocktail ring for the moon. My bag, which was a gift from my dad, features a fun crabby Cancerian print.

I’m a Sagittarius, which is half man, half horse (thus the cowboy boots). When I googled it, I read that we are “playful, fun, and competitive”. The funny part was it said you’d never be able to guess what a Sag outfit would look like. And that’s me to a tee. Unpredictable and colorful.
My shorts were originally thrifted as suede pants until I shortened them (see that article here). Everything except the hat is thrifted.
I giggled because after I purchased the top, I was reading the label and it’s sleepwear. But you’d never know, and that’s my kind of versatility in a wardrobe.

I don’t really pay any mind to astrology, but putting together an outfit inspired by my star sign was such a fun challenge! I am a Scorpio—bold, creative, determined, and mysterious. Can’t say I’m very mysterious (I’m about as open a book as they come) but I like to think this outfit has a little allure to it. The original ensemble I put together with this thrifted bodycon dress was too wintery, so I decided on an edgy date night look instead. For some reason Zodiac signs make me think of geometric prints, and black is one of Scorpio’s go-to colors! I topped the outfit off with my beaded shooting star clutch and a deep red lipstick for a hint of bold.

Twinkle, twinkle little star…
…how I wonder what star sign you are?
This month’s T6 theme is all about star signs…
…there’s only one star sign for me and that’s the sign of a star!
Stars are cute and fun to style, this little rara skirt is a bit of fun too…

I am Gemini through and through. The celestial twins are both integral parts of my airy personality. The yin and the yang work in perfect harmony as I float through life with my head in the clouds. Geminis are often considered social butterflies, so I restyled my butterfly wrap made from thrifted scarves. The contrasting colors represent the duality of my sign and vibrant colors are always a favorite of playful and curious Geminis. There are many more Gemini-inspired details in this outfit including my ‘twin fly’ brooches but you will have to visit my post to see it all!
We will be back next month for you, in the hope we can inspire you to try, and buy, pre loved clothes! You can see we have a lot of fun with it!
Oh what a fun and unusual challenge! You all did such a great job too.

Thank you very much Joanne, I am glad you think so!
Nancy, this was such a fun challenge! I love that none of us share a zodiac sign, too. That turned out pretty cool. Everyone’s interpretations are so wonderful. I love this skirt and sneaker combination on you for a no hassle Virgo look!

Yes I was thinking the same! I actually had this theme in mind for a long time and then to wear white. But I never wear white……lol
Hi, Nancy – This is the greatest idea for a style post and you are so cool! Thanks for reminding us all to get some inspiration from our zodiac sign for our outfits – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com

Thank you very much Angie, it was a fun them and I had it in mind for a while!
What an interesting theme! But obviously I didn’t have to guess your Zodiac sign as I know when your birthday is, plus we’re sharing the same sign 🙂
I loved your interpretation, and it was fun trying to guess the others, although I didn’t get any of them right 🙂 xxx

Haha, me neither! Well, I knew Shelbee’s. But it was a lovely theme to work with!
Hello. I popped over from Jodie’s. I guessed your sign correctly at first glance – as a fellow (just turned 70 on 9/11) Virgo. This was a great idea for a post.

Hi Kathleen, thank you for vissiting my blog! And how good of you to guess it immediately! It was a fun theme to work with!

I think so too, thanks Jodie!
What a fun challenge! It had me wondering what I would wear – I’m a Libra!
Author
My father was too. I think you can dress then in so many different styles, which you do!
Nancy, I agree you definitely dress like a Virgo! Your style is classic and beautiful! And, this was a fun prompt!

Yes me too Mireille, I wear the sneakers all the time actually!
This was a fun challenge, it really got me thinking! You definitely do dress like a Virgo. I since found out that in my astrology chart the moon is in Leo, which probably explains my love of gold and bright prints!

What a brilliant idea for a prompt. It’s fun to guess what sign you all are. Love your sophisticated and matchy matchy interpretation of Virgo. Thanks for linking!

Thank you very much Gail!
What a fun theme!! I would love to see what some of the other fashionistas would come up with for their signs. I am an Aries so I am stubborn but energetic and impulsive. And boy am I!! My dad was a Virgo and I can see the Virgo traits in you. I always consider Virgos to be quiet and extremely intelligent. I think your outfit is a great representation.

Well I am quiet! Thanks a lot Leslie!
