We all know how expensive the holidays can get, between parties, feasts, and gifts. It's a great time to look at second hand to be able to have those fun winter looks you want, with a little less impact on your wallet.
It may be way too late for Christmas, but not too late for New Years and the rest of the season. If you're like me, you may be thinking about getting something sparkly for toasting in the new year, or maybe something indulgent and cozy, if watching the ball drop from the couch is more your speed.
I brought home this jacket (cape?) as a statement piece for when I want to feel more put-together. At just $28 on thredUP, it was over 80% savings off its retail price. Black and white, it can pair with many outfits, but the super-sized houndstooth print and wide wing-like sleeves make for a bold style.
For a daytime or casual look, I pair the jacket with a simple long-sleeve cream colored tee, black chunky necklace, jeans (from Buy Nothing!), and some low black boots (good for some grip in this wet dreary season).
For a dressier look (good for the office, night out, or holiday party), I pair the jacket with a longer black sheath dress, tights, and black heeled booties with gold accents. These are my favorite booties that I keep repairing because they are comfortable, go from day to night, and with dresses or pants.
It's kindof fun watching houndstooth regain popularity in the 2020s since last being big in the 1990s. What looks are you wearing this winter?
