OOTD: Walmart Chic

Hello Beauties!

I hope that you all are having a wonderful day.  I was thinking about something earlier and wanted to share...  Have you all noticed that thrifting is now the new popular thing?  I know many of us have been thrifting for years, but it seems that many people have finally caught on to what all the hype is about.  I choose to thrift for two main reasons:

1.  I am a fan of older patterns and staples.
2.  To save money.

When it comes to wanting to spend your money wisely, thrifting is a great way to do so.  Also, I have heard many fashion experts say to shop your closet.  Instead of running out to buy something, take a look at your closet and see how you can rearrange an outfit or find an item you haven't worn in awhile.

I am striving to spend my money wisely when it comes to clothing so I decided to shop my closet.  In my closet, I found a sheer shirt I purchased from Walmart over a year ago from the Miley Cyrus line they once had.

This is how I wore it (...I know you all love my camera photos, LOL):








What I Wore:
Shirt:  Miley Cyrus via Walmart
Pants:  Its Fashion Metro
Shoes:  Its Fashion Metro
Earrings:  Aldo
Ring:  Forever 21

Lips:  Wet & Wild Mega Last Lip Color in "Cherry Picking"
Nails:  Wet & Wild's Mega Last Nail Color in "I Need a Refresh-mint"

All of the pieces I wore (minus the earrings) are over a year old.  I just took them, reworked it and went with it.  Also, I found it funny that sheer pieces are in now and at the time I purchased this, it wasn't a huge trend.  Shopping ahead I think!

Have you ever shopped your closet?

Thanks for reading & God bless!
