Looks Inspired By Pinterest: Thrifted Leather Skirt + Blazer

Happy Monday!!! I’m so excited to start this week off with a cute thrifted outfit inspired by Pinterest.

So, I follow this blogger with amazing style, name Samyjo Valentine. She always posts these fly outfits made up of some super expensive designers, and a lot of fast fashion designers like Zara. The look below was one of my favorite looks that she posted recently. I loved how simple, yet classic and elevated the look was. So, I knew for sure that I wanted to recreate it.

It looks like she has on a black button-up shirtdress underneath her blazer. Since, I don’t have a black shirtdress, I decided to just stick with all black. I paired this black t-shirt and my black leather skirt together. Sidenote: I also purchased this leather skirt from Goodwill. Its real leather y’all!!! And it fits perfectly!

Samyjo’s blazer is super fly! It has an hourglass shape that hugs her perfectly. Now, I don’t have one of those blazers. So, once again, I stuck with the color scheme, and found this amazing blazer in the Men’s section at Goodwill. It’s a nice neutral color that is going to complete so many outfits for me in the future.

I added my favorite OTK boots from Steve Madden and my cute little black handbag. As you can see, the entire look came out terrifically!

Lately, I’ve been having so much fun finding cute thrifted pieces to add to my wardrobe. The main thrift store that I frequent is Goodwill. I find that I can get so many pieces without spending a whole bunch of money. And the pieces that I purchase are usually ones that I can wear on an everyday basis.

I think one of my biggest tips for thrift shopping is to purchase pieces that you can wear immediately if you wanted to. If you know that a certain piece is not a part of your typical personal style, don’t buy it. It will be a waste of money (even if it is inexpensive).
