I’m super excited today to be teaming up with VIVAIA, a relatively new footwear company! I’ve been wanting to work with them for a while now, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw an email from their marketing team in my inbox. The company was founded in 2020 and was initially known for their flats. Now they have expanded to include heels, booties, tall boots, and even some accessories and clothing. I had such a hard time deciding on a pair for this collaboration, but I ultimately went with these black booties. Continue reading “These Boots Were Made for Walking…”

I landed on this funky knitted jacket! Continue reading “The Thrifty Six Style Autumn Outerwear”

The theme for this month’s Thrifty Six collaboration is “Inspired by Travel”—what a fun prompt, huh? Immediately my mind started racing with visions of Parisian chic looks, tropical accessories, easy floral dresses perfect for the Tuscan countryside... But as I started to picture outfits I could create using pieces from my own closet, I realized none of the looks incorporated secondhand items, ha! I had forgotten the whole point of the collaboration… I shifted gears and decided to embrace a much cozier option inspired by a recent vacation of my own—the mountain getaway I took to Breckenridge a few weekends ago! Yes, it might not be as romantic as some of the European-inspired outfits I was imagining, but the girls I saw in Breck were sporting some very cute sweaters and booties, making me very excited for fall. It was the perfect excuse to break out my secondhand camo button–down! Continue reading “Travel-Inspired with The Thrifty Six”
