The Most Casual Monday

Hey There Bestie!

Today I found myself with zero motivation to get put together. I I just wasn’t having it.

I did manage to get a bunch of errands done, and had some spare time to putz around in TJmaxx.

While it’s true that I try to only buy second hand/thrifted clothes, I do occasionally buy new clothes if they’re discounted. So I always check the clearance racks.

I tried on some khakis and a white tank top, both were not winners for me. But good opportunity to take an outfit selfie!

……don’t judge my sloppy hair mmmkay?!

Cardigan – Shein small (thrifted)

Tank top – Apt. 9 petite small(kohls, discounted)

Joggers – Rachel Zoe small (Tjmaxx, discounted)

Shoes – Dr. Scholls time off size 8 (ebay)

The Shein cardigan…trust me, I know. I don’t like Shein either. And lately I’m finding their clothes at all the thrifty stores. I try to not buy as much as possible, but this cardigan was thrifted for $2 and I’ve enjoyed wearing it these past few months! However it’s probably time to pass it on to the next owner.

The tank top, I purchased with discount thinking I was investing in a petite sized tank top for spring and summer. It’s been washed once and already looks stretched out and pilly and thin. Big learning lesson!

The joggers were a splurge, I bought them to wear at the airport last month, and it was $20 well spent…they do kind of have a strange smell though. I’m also not convinced they’ll hold up for 20 or more wears but, maybe I’ll be surprised. *fingers crossed*

And lastly, these Dr. Scholls shoes. So cute, so comfy.

BUT they attract dirt and stains like a magnet. Would NOT recommend!! However, I spent $30 on them and I’m determined to get my money’s worth. Even if that means scrubbing with a magic eraser after every wear.

All in all, the outfit is cute and working ok, but the pieces individually would not be worth repurchasing.
