ThriftMyStyle Keeps Up with The Slogans with Nike, Adidas, J Crew and Comme des Garcons

Hi everyone!! I thought I would share one of my favourite wardrobe staples with you- the slogan tee. Whether I look subconciously or not, I always seem to be drawn to tees with some type of slogan on them-it's the sort of feeling that a lot of bloggers have for their Breton stripes- they can never have too many, whatever the style or detail! 

One of my favourite summer finds last year was this Nike Ken Griffey tee, which was from a neighbouring town's Sue Ryder charity shop for £1.50. It got its first wear earlier in the week with my new-ish H&M skinny distressed jeans which were in the sale in January for £9.99 and my recently thrifted Papillio Birkies:

 The tee is a really soft material and the cut is ideal, fitted but not too tight and not overly loose either. I think the orange Birkenstocks just give the whole casual look a pop of needed colour:

My next tee is a J Crew charity shop find that I've had a while: 

E' Tale Vita aka Such is Life

My next find is from years ago when I first started blogging, I found this Comme des Garcons tee at my local boot sale for just £1:

One, Two Three

This next find was from last year and scratched the itch for a red tee as well as the slogan too

Drink Coca Cola

This last one is a real Adidas original which belonged to my eldest son from around 8 years ago. It has languished in the cupboard and been resurrected by me for Summer to add a pop of colour when worn with my favourite jeans of the day:

What is the weakest link in your wardrobe? Are you mad over Breton stripes or do you go crazy for the perfect pair of black trousers or the must have grey marl tee, I'd love you to share!!

Wishing you all a really fabulous weekend, whatever you get upto!!

Outfit post for Thrift Inspiration-Yayoi Kusama style!!

Hi everyone!!! It is well documented that Louis Vuitton's latest artistic collaberation is with Yayoi Kusama who is an 82 year old Japanese artist obsessed with polka dots and has produced a really awesome collection including leather bags, shoes, accessories and jewellery.

Her exhibition is currently showing in New York:

I was suitably inspired to wear my H&M and Comme des Garcons collab shirt that I thrifted last year in my local Salvation Army. As we are having such in-between weather it's the perfect layering piece over vest tees when a jacket is not required:

I am also wearing my thrifted J Brand Earhart khaki crops which were just £2 from a neighbouring towns Sense charity shop. My navy and white floral pumps are from Primark, £4.

And for all of you who remember me with long hair, it's all now cropped off!!!

Whats your thoughts on polka dots-do you like the large or little variety-do you actually like them at all??

Feeling Blue in Comme des Garcons Spots and Stripes

The last couple of days since being back from Canterbury have been spent just catching up on chores and generally relaxing and also trying to catch up with my blogging too!!

For not doing much requires a fairly casual outfit, plus I fancied wearing all blue (could be as its that time of the month) so I'm wearing my Levi's flares with a Jane Norman striped cami top and my Comme des Garcons & H&M shirt-all thrifted from local charity shops.

I bought these flip flops for Robert when we went to Clacton last year and have now decided to wear them myself-I find cheap flip flops really comfy and cool during the summer and these ones remind me of when I was young and were about the only style of flip flops around!!

More relaxation is on the cards for today and I wish you all a very nice week ahead, whatever you get up to xxxx

Double denim-biker style!

Double denim is quite a controversial trend-you either love it or not. I'm willing to try it once, or more if it works!

I purchased this Topshop Moto biker denim jacket from Cancer Research charity shop a couple of weeks ago for £3.99 and I'm wearing it with my grey Comme Des Garcons tee, which was £1 from the boot sale a few years ago.

I'm also wearing my denim leggings from the local market last year, a few months before denim leggings, jeggings and treggings really became on trend!!

How about trying double denim this season?

Thrift Inspiration, Alexander Wang Style-round 2!

Inspired by Nic at She's Dressing Up, I thrifted this leather skirt last weekend and like her, wanted to wear it dressed down. Again, I was inspired by Alexander Wangs RTW Summer Collection to do an outfit post, mixing grey marl and leather, similiar to the model above.

I'm wearing my Comme Des Garcons grey marl t-shirt, 99p, Collier Row boot sale, Zara long sleeved grey tunic £3.50, Sue Ryder Care charity shop, leather skirt, £2.99 Sense charity shop, stud belt, 50p, Collier Row boot sale
