Metallics with The Thrifty Six

When Emma announced metallics for this month’s Thrifty Six theme, I immediately thought of this ombre velour dress. I thrifted it at my favorite secondhand store in Las Vegas, Alt Rebel, a few years ago.

It was my turn to choose the Thrifty Six theme this month, and I landed on Taylor Swift eras! Perfect timing with the release of her new concert movie, right? Now, I decided on this theme a long time ago, even before all the Travis Kelce drama… so I get that people might be over the whole T-Swift thing at this point. But I made this eras-inspired Reel over the summer and realized several of my outfits were secondhand… so I thought it would be a creative (and versatile) theme for our group. There has to be something for everyone with all of her different styles over the years! Continue reading “Inspired by Taylor Swift Eras”
