outfit du jour: in your mind

A lot of times when I buy new clothes (or new to me clothes), I hold off on wearing them for a long time because I hate when they lose that new feeling. But the things I thrifted and shared in last week's Thursdays are for Thrifters link up, I can't seem to stop wearing. I knew there was something I loved about this shirt the minute I saw it, but it looked huge. Still, I carried it to the dressing room and tried it on. It's a size medium, but could fit about four of me in it and comes almost to my knees (when it's not belted). I'm not sure exactly how it's meant to be worn, but I'm belting it and wearing it as a dress. And I'm pretty sure this thing was made for me, whatever it is.

Remember that tomorrow is the next Thursdays are for Thrifters. Can't wait to see your finds and outfits from this week!

    So cool, I'm a big fan of 'shirts as dresses; the longer and baggier the better :)
