Thrifty Girl Thursday: Wedding Edition

July 9, 2009

Hey-oh! It's another Thursday!

I'm going to show you a couple of outfits that I wore during shenanigans for Beardy's cousin's wedding (aka my future brother-in-law...hee!) The first outfit was worn to the rehearsal dinner.



Please try to ignore Beardy's saggy pants. I cannot understand why he wears them like this.




Black scoopneck tee: Old Navy via Goodwill - $3
(Super teeny) white belt: An 80s relic via blueviolet - $0
Black skirt with white zigzags: Willi Smith, hand-me-down from aunt - $0
Pink shoes: Payless - $20
TOTAL: $23 y'all!
Photo creds: Beardy's mom!








The next outfit was worn to the actual wedding. I bought this delicious dress in order to be fancy enough to stand by Beardy, one of the groomsmen. This outfit was a bit of a splurge, but it was a wedding. How often do those happen? I mean, really.



Beardy is beardless! (This makes me sad.)

Black and tan dress with handkerchief hem: T.J. Maxx - $20
High heeled gladiator shoes: DSW - $35
TOTAL: $55

While I was writing this, my cat Penny was meowing for me to pay attention to her so I told her I would include her in my post:

You always look so cute, sweetie!

Penny looks like she's pleading with you and her nose cracks me up.

I love good thrifty finds! You have got quite the eye for putting it all together.

P.S. Penny is cute too!

Both outfits rock! I really love the last dress. Sexy Mommy!
Your cat is beautiful!

Why oh why, why oh why did Beardie shave the beard? Is he even "Beardie" anymore?

You look smashing sweetie and your little kittie too! I like the Willi Smith hand me down, it's tres sweet.

Justine said...

Ooh, Beardy looks even better without the beard! And at least his suit pants weren't droopy!
and as usual, you looked great!

I've been meaning to ask, what the hell is "good towel"??????????

Justine :o )

Both outfits are great! I love TJ Maxx -- they're so affordable and stylish! Good finds.

Jillene said...

You look AMAZING in both outfits!! TJ Mazz ROCKS!!

I hate it when my hubby shaves off his goatee. It makes him look like he's 10!!

The Bee said...

Both outfits are great! I gotta say beardy looks much better WITH the beard.

Outstanding choices! You always look so stinkin' cute - you are your mother's daughter! ;)

That dress is HOT! The shoes are great too. I can't wait to lose all this weight so I can look hot in a dress too. :)

You two make the cutest darn couple EVER!

Oh and yes - awesome bargains and outfits!

I love the black and white outfits! I've really been liking those color combos lately. You look cute with your man!

Banteringblonde said...

Great finds!!! Aren't those always the ones that you feel best in?!!

Rosie said...

cute outfits! I have a few Willi Smith items too. Love the Kitty Kat!

Julia said...

Nice transformation! Impressive. I think I kind of like the beardless one!! And we have a cat named Shmoe who acts the same way. Cats. Demanding little creatures aren't they?

Vickie said...

Both outfits are great! Nothing wrong with Goodwill. I love to shop at our local Salvation Army. If you take your time, you can pull out a nice outfit!

The price for the second one is not to bad. The price included shoes. I am thinking..pretty good:)

Helene said...

Love both the outfits...esp the 2nd one!! Very classy!!

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of you....you're gorgeous!! And you look so young...I had to re-read the beginning because I was like "is that her daughter?". Seriously...I'm not kissing butt here...I honestly thought that was your daughter.

THE BLUEST BUTTERFLY said...

I thrift shop a lot, too. Just got a pin today. Nice to meet you....found you via the June Comment Challenge. :-)

LadyStyx said...

Cute outfits!

Penny's gorgeous. Reminds me of my baby Fizzi. She'd be 18 now. Don't know if she's still around or not to be honest.

Carissa(GoodnCrazy) said...

Okay the kitty kat?? She MATCHES your outfits!!!

Kristen said...

I love that dress! I need to go to TJ Maxx and dig around!

Lin said...

Oh, very cute. And that Penny! She's HOT!

Momisodes said...

Both outfits are gorgeous.

But most of all, I LOVE those gladiator shoes. Love them.

Tammy said...

The outfits are great. I wish I could shop like that.

conversationswithmoms said...

You look gorgeous in all the pictures. Great outfits.

Brittany said...

Not only is that first outfit rockin' but a steal! Go girl! You are fabulous!

Bee and Rose said...

You pull together the cutest outfits! I think the dress and heels is still a really great deal!

Penny is obviously aware that she fits in with the fashion choices in this post:)
