Jodie choose this month’s theme, Winter White. Have you ever see me wearing white? So this was a challenge. I needed Vinted to help me out here.
This was the last time Grace accompanied us on our pre loved trip. Thank you, Grace, for your inspiring looks.
So we are looking for someone who wants to replace her! If you also love second hand clothing and would like to participate in our challenges once a month, sign up with one of us!
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.
On the search for Winter White
I have a white T-shirt and a white blouse and that’s all white I have in my closet. So I had to look for something winter white on Vinted. And I had to do it quickly because delivery can take a while. Then there is washing, ironing, etc. I had seen a very nice white skirt on the Zara site, but yes, it must be second-hand. So I found this substitute. And when I got it it was covered in stains… As good as new, they say… Fortunately I don’t often have bad experiences with Vinted and the stains have all come out. With the addition of half a bottle of Shout!
I knew immediately how I wanted to wear this skirt. But I leave that for another post. Today I want to show you this Winter White skirt in a obvious way, with black. The blazer is also pre loved. The boots not. Second hand boots or shoes are not for me. I am not a huge fan of black and white together for me to wear. Perhaps because white is just not my thing. But I’m still very tempted to buy the Zara skirt and resell this one!
My fashion friends wearing white

I very rarely wear white, so when Jodie chose that as this month’s theme I had to wrack my brains for any pre-loved white clothes and accessories. As luck would have it, a few months ago I bought this shirt from a charity shop for £1! It was the price that swayed me because I would usually pass by anything white, but I figured if it didn’t fit I could re-donate it. I’m not all that keen on it as it’s a bit small but it has some stretch, which helps. I’ve teamed it with green trousers because I like that colour combination. The bag is pre-loved, from eBay, and while looking for a jacket I found this Dept 19 zebra print coat that I also bought on eBay years ago…I’d forgotten all about it! I’m glad I’ve rediscovered it though!

I’ve been a HUGE fan of wearing white in the winter because it adds the lightness I crave. Yet, I have trouble styling a monochromatic look, so I added in this tan and white sweater, leopard boots AND a light blue purse.
The sweater is from a rental service, which I consider preloved since it’s been worn before and will be worn by others again. The best part is I don’t have to find room in my closet to store it, haha.
Grace of Graceful Rags
I rarely wear white, let alone thrifted white, so this cute top that my mom handed down to me is one of the only secondhand white things I own! It’s not a winter white by any means, but lucky for me I already had my trip planned to Puerto Rico for my great aunt’s 100th birthday, so I was able to wear it in the sunny 80 degree weather while there.

I noticed a group of emerging Snowdrops today, a true sign that Winter’s loosening its icy grip.
Such a joy to wear this beautiful pale colour, punctuated with botanical print…
…styled alongside my latest vintage handbag, a 1960’s original with an oriental twist.

I found this white denim jumpsuit by Zara in my local thrift shop for $1. The zipper is broken and I find jumpsuits too tedious to wear but I bought it because it is going into a denim rag project. But before I cut it up, I figured I could make it work for this thrifty winter white theme even with its broken zipper (which I camouflaged with an ivory scarf tied onto my belt). Then I added a preloved motorcycle jacket in ivory, my white cowgirl boots, gray and silver accessories, and my new purple bag for a splash of bright color.
That’s it for this month! Have you ever tried Vinted? It is fun to search for a special item or just browse in the hope you find something that you don’t see a lot! Something special!
I absolutely love the skirt you found on Vinted! You worked it perfectly into the season. Yes to classic black and white!

Sadly it’s already gone too. Thanks Kathrine.
I really like this skirt, Nancy! And it looks so good paired with the black belted blazer and boots!

Thanks my friend!
That is a lovey skirt! I tend to wear white with black a lot; especially if I’m wearing white in winter.

So you do wear white in winter too? A lot of women love it! I like it only actually with black.
I don’t even have a white t-shirt! Like you, I never wear white, particularly not in Winter. Oh-oh, I just realized that’s not true at all: I’ve got a whitish faux-fur gilet. Oh dear. I could never wear a white skirt of white trousers, though. Knowing me, I’d live in fear of them not staying white for very long! xxx

Hahaha, what is it with stains. I never drop something on my clothes. Well……hardly never. Last year I put a cherry tomato at breakfast in the b&b, and yes……I was covered.
Glad you got the stains out because I really like the cut of this skirt. Lovely outfit and I need to do black and white soon: it has been a while.

I am appreciating it more and more. Thanks Mireille!
Shelbee’s outfit rocks my world. I love wearing white this time of year – it reminds me that sunshine is on the way!
Author
Haha, I only wish. But I don’t see you wear white that often!
I’m telling you Nancy…the belt with that skirt is made in heaven. The white skirt pulls out the white thread on the belt and it’s so fabulous. I’m thinking maybe white should be your new best friend, haha.

Haha, well Jodie……this skirt is in the donation pile and the Zara one was stupid! So I don’t think so, lol. But I do love this look!
I think you did a fabulous job with winter white even though you don’t like it! And, I love black and white together because they’re just so stark against each other. I can’t wait to see what you’re doing next!

Looking at my photo I am loving the black and white, while I never did. Women are weird right, lol.
This is a fabulous outfit! I love how you tied the belt. I’m still not convinced about wearing white – at any time of year. I’m just too messy and spill things all the time!

Haha, I am not but just not keen of wearing white.
You all look fabulous! I am also very happy that you are able to get the stains out of that skirt! I hope that you are having a great week so far too! XO
