My Thrifty and Pre-Loved Finds / www.vanessahwood.com

I’ve been a thrifter since high school, and I love finding one or two pieces that I can add to my existing wardrobe or that special trinket to place on a shelf. So today, I wanted to show you a few “thrifty” pieces that I’ve purchased recently. StateMint Style Finds This past weekend was the bi-annual StateMint Style consignment sale, and although I didn’t purchase a lot, I did find a couple of tops that I really am excited to add to my wardrobe. This butterfly blouse is from Old Navy, and the Louis lip t-shirt is from Gypsy Junkies. […]

Dress Form Outfit: Paris in January

January 28, 2020 No Comments

Sorry if the title of today’s post made you think that I went to Paris this month and had some cool dress form outfit to show off. I didn’t go to Paris, but I still have a cool DFO to show off. Obviously I’m obsessed with Paris and the Eiffel Tower, so this month’s dress form outfit features a Catherine Malandrino blouse with a distinct Eiffel Tower pattern. And you’ll never guess where I purchased it or how much I paid for it! Thrift Store Find Yep, you read that right… it was a thrift store find! I paid less […]

This is something I’d wear on a weekend, or {because I wear scrubs during the week}, I’d wear this on a day off from work. I purchased my coat from a Goodwill in Lenoir City, and I purchased my olive green top from the StateMint Style Consignment sale in September. My jeans are “vintage” because […]

Dress Form Outfit: My “Thrift Shop” Drop Waist Dress

April 24, 2019 No Comments

I have been looking for a drop waist dress for years – one that I not only liked, but one that fit and was comfortable. This Breton striped drop waist dress is perfect. I purchased this dress a few weeks ago at one of the Goodwill thrift stores in Knoxville, Tenn. This Old Navy dress was only $4! Talk about a bargain find! I paired this dress with my Born sandals {which I purchased this past March at the StateMint Style consignment sale}, but I would also wear a pair of white sneakers with this dress. I can style this […]

Dress Form Outfit: Date Night in Gingham

August 20, 2018 No Comments

I love styling my dress form, changing the outfits and trying new looks, especially for date nights with my husband. Last month I posted a dress form outfit featuring a pair of black shorts styled for daytime. At the end of that post, I said that I would show you how I styled them for a date night. I have been looking for something gingham for quite some time, and being a thrifty shopper, I headed to a thrift store in Chattanooga and scored this gingham wrap top, from Beach Lunch Lounge Collection, which features voluminous bell sleeves with ruffled […]
