We are no angry birds! The Thrifty Six

collage of fashion bloggers

It was my turn to choose a theme and I had a top in mind with a outfit and all. My fashion friends struggled a bit with the theme, but I was ready! At least I thought so. Because when I wanted to wear the outfit with that particular top,to take photos for this theme, I saw that the top had cats and not birds on it! How could I be so wrong! Luckily I did have a pre loved top with birds on it, but next time when it is my turn again you already know what theme I will choose, lol.

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.

Sometimes I am a angry bird!

We are not angry birds

I can get really upset about certain things. About the situation in the world, for example. It gets grimmer and grimmer. I often think, where is it going to lead. Will it ever be “normal” again. Or is this the new now. Well, if there’s one thing that can make a person happy, it’s birds. The lovely chattering in the spring. We have to wait a little longer there for that, but we can wear a nice bird print of course. Anyway I do, let’s see if my friends had the same thoughts.

Ravens are not angry birds…

The Thrifty Six theme for November is ‘We’re not angry birds’

Interesting eh – well this is where I’m taking it…

The statement leather collar on this dress reminds me of Raven’s wings.

I love Ravens, I watch them every day from my window.

People often think they’re sinister…

…but they’re actually funny and clever…

…definitely not angry birds!

I have to admit that I was unsure how to interpret Nancy’s theme of ‘We Are Not Angry Birds’. In fact, I didn’t really interpret it at all. I put on this mostly thrifted outfit one day just because I had been wanting to style the striped duster. As we headed out to take photographs, it occurred to me that this outfit was making me really happy and I was definitely NOT an angry bird wearing it! It’s the perfect amount of print mixing and unique combination of pieces that really suits my quirky soul. My duster, skirt, velvet jacket, and necklace were all purchased second hand.

Nancy really threw us a curveball with this month’s theme. At first, I searched through my blog archives to see if I had something preloved with a bird print, but I couldn’t find anything. Then my mind turned to feathers and I remembered that I had this pink feather clutch that I bought on eBay years ago. That was my starting point for the outfit and it just got more flamboyant from then on…I ended up looking like a flamingo dipped in pearls!!

We are not angry birds… After the initial surprise of this unique theme, my mind immediately jumped to this faux fur teal jacket that I thrifted while in Scotland. I guess my thinking was… faux fur is kind of like feathers? And this color reminds me of the beautiful plumage of a peacock? After my boyfriend saw the outfit and heard the theme, he reminded me that I am *not* an angry bird… which, according to the once-popular game, means I should have dressed up as a green pig, ha!

You might think, where is Lucy? Unfortunately she made the decision to leave our group as she had to much going on. We respect her choice of course but are sad to see her leave as she is a fabulous inspiring  fashionable woman! We wish her all the luck! 

Now we have a open space for our monthly outing! If you would like to join us, just let us know. Just mail us and we give you all the details.

    Although this theme was a bit confusing for us, I think we came up with some pretty fabulous interpretations! I love Jane’s raven inspired look and Emma’s pearl dipped flamingo style! So fun!

    I loved reading this Nancy, and you’re right. Birds make us happy to hear their chirping and such.
    I love how your prompt got everyone so creative,
    XOXO

    I can get really upset and angry about things too, so I guess that makes me an Angry Bird 🙂
    Well, you did make me laugh with the subject and the fact that the top you had in mind had cats on it instead of birds!
    Your substitute bird top is gorgeous though, and I love the skirt you’ve paired it with.
    I often wonder if it will be ever normal again as well, the thought that it won’t is making me feel very anxious. xxx
    P.S. For some reason, your post didn’t come up in my reader nor did I get the usual Follow It message. I was wondering why I hadn’t seen your post as I did see it from Shelbee and Emma …
