Jane choose this theme, wear the colours of your soul. At first I thought, that’s easy, black! Haha, but that isn’t really true (that my soul is black I mean….). So I thought long and hard about this quirky theme and came up with this!
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.
I am wearing the colours of my soul
I had to think about this topic for quite some time. Because you have to know yourself well for it. And right now I’m seeing a medical psychologist for a few sessions, and she’s sort of mixing me up, so to speak.
But what I do know is that I am faithful, honest and reliable. The color blue stands for that. So that’s why I am wearing my pleated dress from Vinted. I am also a positive person and open to innovation. That’s what green stands for. I couldn’t leave out black of course, which stands for strength and a touch of rebellion! There you have it! Me in the colors of my soul.

I love all bright colours but the three I wear the most are orange, green and yellow. For me, orange embodies energy and optimism while green is balancing and calming. I find it very difficult to resist buying more orange clothes and when I found this Zara waistcoat on Vinted I had to have it! It was my intention to wear it over a blouse or T-shirt but it’s been so hot lately that I tried it on without a layer underneath and rather liked it. I added the lemon bag because yellow is such a cheerful colour that always boosts my mood.

I always say that I’m an equal opportunity color lover. My wardrobe hasn’t always been colorful (shocking, I know), but I believe that color is truly powerful when it comes to our moods and feelings. That’s why I love to promote wearing colors and trying new color combinations.
The funny thing about this blog post is how both my mom and Lesley ended up with the same colors for their outfits. Yet they still look as stylish as ever.

Not long ago, purple whispered in my ear and told me that we should be friends…
Since then, our relationship has blossomed, and I believe we are in love.
Purple has many faces, self-indulgent richness, deep, moody, serious and regal, or soft like the petals of a flower…
…sometimes playful and full of fun yet always the unexpected choice.
Purple is definitely the colour of my soul…

I love Jane’s theme this month because I am all about wearing bright colors and expressing the joy within my soul lately. So I wore a preloved pastel tie dye slip dress and converted one of my favorite brightly colored thrifted scarves into a long vest. My patchworked parasol was purchased on Etsy a few years back and while it was not preloved, it is made from recycled saris so I think that counts! Then I added black accessories because my soul, bright as it may be, is always anchored in black. But you will notice that all of my black accessories are also splattered with bits of color. And there you have the colors of my soul…pastels and brights anchored in black with a big old mix of prints and patterns from tie dye to florals to patchwork.

The weather has been so uncharacteristically rainy in Denver lately, so much so that I haven’t been able to get outside to take photos! This is an old pic from a few years ago, featuring this super cute geometric dress that my parents thrifted for me. It’s from the Goodwill boutique Deja Blue (I’ve also been to the one in Las Vegas). I immediately knew I wanted to style this dress for the “colors that speak to your soul” theme since the pattern has so many fun and bold shades perfect for summer or a vacation.
That’s it for this month. Do you love to shop for pre loved items? And do you do that online or at brick shops? I find Vinted a very good site to sell and buy. Perhaps you should give it a try! We hope to see you again next month!
I just love how you really took this theme to heart Nancy.
Your combination is fabulous (as usual) and the green really stands out wonderfully,
XOOX

Thanks Jacqui!
What a fun challenge! You all did so well at representing yourselves in colours! I’m shocked (hee) that Nancy isn’t head-to-toe in black, but not surprised at the others’ choices. Shelbee, I’d be a rainbow too!
Author
Haha, yeah yeah, I can be surprising, lol. Thanks Sheila!
Nancy, I love that blue is your soul color because I think it truly is. I knew there would have to be some black…not because your soul is black but because it’s your favorite color! Such a fun prompt!

Thank you very much Marsha!
Navy is the perfect color for you! It’s more hopeful than black but still classic. 🙂 I love that you mixed with teal. What a fun theme!

Thanks Mireille. Yes the shoes are fabulous, it has all different shades of green.
You look lovely in blue and I love that you picked your color based on what it means. I was so sure I was going to click through and find you in black (since I know you love to wear that color but thought that would not bode well for your soul!).
Author
Haha, you know me! But black was my first intention,lol.
Woah this all looks so good! I’m loving all 🙂 beautiful combination.. I’m here for the first time and maybe I will stay longer!
