Classic look on a cloudy day and 5th avenue shopping

Today is a cloudy day and I felt like a classic look was in order...so here is my look :

Blazer: Tristan & Iseut - local goodwill (February 2012) 5$
Jeans: F21 (February2012) 12.50$
Shirt: Zeller's (April. 2012) 18$
Shoes: (April 2012) same as yesterday 14$
Belt: Joe Fresh (March 2012) 5$

Total cost of outfit: 54.50$  What do you think?

The key with shopping in places like Zeller's, Wal Mart and goodwill is to go for pieces that are shaped well.  You have to be picky and you can't always expect to find what you are looking for.  Going often, especially in the case of your local goodwill store, will help you...they receive new things everyday and good pieces go quickly. Also, always keep an open mind. Something that might look odd on a hanger might end up looking fabulous on you!  And if you are hesitant to buy clothes in these stores, just tell yourself that no one has to know and you will just end up having more money to spend on something else...

So the belt I am wearing is Joe Fresh.  This is one of my favorite sotres.  I get my Joe Fresh at Maxi et Cie, but if you are reluctant to get your clothes in a grocery store, they also have many stand alone stores.  And if you need a little more convincing, do know that they just opened a Flagship store on 5th Ave. in New York...feeling better are you?
