The DC streets are once again my runway for vibrant and preloved workplace looks that fuel my creative fire without draining my wallet.
It’s so funny. Without realizing it, I am showcasing a look featuring a Goodwill dress that I wore in my last workplace ‘fit feature. Below!
Nearly two years later, I am happy to see that my susty style sensibilities have not changed and that I am still using two belts to style for multiple purposes:
- Belts add texture and extra dimension to any look
- Belts are a cheap way to alter/fit a clothing item without pins or sewing
Here’s a breakdown of my punky pastel outfit from years ago:
- Vintage Dress: About $12, I believe, from the Denton, MD Goodwill
- 54 Denton Plaza Denton MD 21629
- Vintage Belts: $4 total from the Clinton, MD Goodwill
- Shoes: Old jellies from Poshmark (I can’t remember the price), $10?
- Earrings: Old, thrifted. Probably around $1
