Yankee Swap

Jacket, Forever 21 (swap). Tank, YS USA (swap). Skirt, Parallel (swap). Shoes, Nine West. Bag, Deux Lux (it’s my new favorite). Studded choker worn as a bracelet, thrift. Brooch (on back of jacket), SAC (thrift).

My swapped items aren’t actually from a Yankee Swap, but from a Wardrobe Swap Shop swap. (Well, three Wardrobe Swap Shop swaps.)

Continuing with the thrifty theme, my accessories are all secondhand or sale items. This isn’t a $20 outfit, but it certainly is an under $50 outfit.


I’m using this thrifted Sarah Coventry brooch to adjust the waist of my jacket. This is one of my favorite tricks for cinching blazers and cardigans.
This tank has an attached “necklace.” It’s my first piece of clothing with built-in jewelry. I think I’m okay with the concept.


I was initially going to wear a solid black blazer (also a swap), but I like to clash.


Speaking of clashing…
