Frugal Fashion: Lime Green

Joining my friend, Jen today for Friday Frugal Fashions, since she and I are thrifty sisters and love the clothes deals.

You first saw this sweater a couple of weeks ago when Judy and I went shopping together. I wore it with a pair of lime green and white patterned capris I already had in my closet. And it pairs well with other things too….

Wore this to church recently, so thought I’d show another outfit that was thrifty purchased. Each piece was $1. Yeah! Can you believe that? I found the white skirt at my neighbor’s yardsale last year at the end of the summer (the one with the consignment store), so this was the first opportunity I’ve had to wear it. It’s so pretty up close with softly dotted fabric and it’s own built-in slip. Perfect condition and looks brand new. The lime shoes I already had in my closet.

With my love of lime green, the green rolled neck sweater top I found recently out yardsaling for $1. Love this color and have collected many things in it. It has a little edge detailing in white and looks great with the white skirt.

So, check out Jen’s party to see what thrifty fashions other fashionistas have found recently!

    You look beautiful! I have a few tops like that with the cowl neck. I need to bring them back out. That skirt is gorgeous!

    I bought a beautiful sage green suede jacket at Goodwill for $6.00. I will look great in the fall. Have a great day! Nancy from OHIO

    yay, Rhoda! This is the outfit that I loved! And the top pairs perfectly with the white skirt too! Oh, to have access to yard sales with such beautiful things! I know I must persevere, but sometimes all I see are old playpens and tire rims!

    Great finds, Rhoda! Love the color and the price…

    You look great. It was fun to see you with the camera in the mirror.

    Have a great day!

    Rhoda,
    You look chic enough to spend the day in Paris! It just goes to show it is all about what you select and how you put it all together.

    Everything always looks great on you – what wouldn't with your shape!!

    I love this shade of green too – can't wear it with my hair color but like touches of it around the house – dishes, candles, and of course the potting bench on my front porch! Actually that green paint is peeling and now showing a brilliant turquoise underneath – now that's a vibrant combination! I was going to refinish it but have decided I love the look so it stays!!

    Enjoy the weekend Rhoda.

    What a great top; I love the color! The skirt is pretty, too. White skirts are so versatile.

    I am a lime green lover too! Most of my wardrobe is thrift and yard sales- and I love telling them the total cost of an outfit when I get compliments which is very often. You don't have to have a hundred bucks for an blouse to look like a million bucks!! I love it!

    Hi Rhoda! You look great in your awesome finds!! I love that color, but I have to love it from afar…LOL! People would drag me to the hospital if I came out with it on. Pale red-heads and lime green just really do not mix well. I envy the ones who can wear it like you! Jealous, jealous, jealous. I do have lots of it in my house though. I squeeze it in where I can! Have a great weekend.

    I love your haircut! You just made me want to go yard saling. Those clothes look brand new!
    I love the skirt and would pair with navy or royal blue. The green looks pretty on you though.

    I don't buy a lot of thrift store clothes. I mostly go right to the housewares. However, I did get a brand new London Fog raincoat for $6.50 last month.

    I have the sweater in black, think I got it at Kohls. I don't look near as cute in mine as you do 🙂
    I am afraid of color, chosing a lot of black and white, navy and white for summer. I do love the lime and apple greens though.

    Love your outfit but I keep getting distracted by those arms! I have GOT to get to the gym! A stop at the thrift store afterward would be a nice reward…
