It’s time for another Thrifty Six collaboration! The theme for February is “Wearing Summer Colors in Winter” and I have to admit that I struggled with this one… I don’t have a particularly colorful wardrobe to begin with, and most of the brighter pieces I own aren’t secondhand.

I was originally going to style the one spring dress I brought with me abroad (which I haven’t worn once, by the way) with these secondhand orange wedges I just bought. But then I realized I don’t have a purse to go with that outfit and didn’t want to post an incomplete look… So I decided to share my go-to going out top instead.
