This shirt almost wasn\u2019t mine. \"BlogDestiny\" <\/a>While shopping one afternoon at the Goodwill in Phoenixville, I noticed a woman pluck this very shirt off a rack, look it over and dropped it in her cart. The brief moment I saw it, I fell in love. The patchwork style, the bohemian feel, the \u00be sleeves, cropped length and the buttoned-up back were so unique. Ok, I didn\u2019t notice all those details until later, but I saw enough of the shirt to know it was cool.<\/p>\n

The woman walked away with the shirt in her cart, but a little while later, it turned up on the return rack! As I was walking toward it another girl grabbed it off the rack and disappeared into the fitting room. Gone again\u2026 I lingered outside the room and a few minutes later she walked out and placed the shirt on the return rack. This time I grabbed it. I knew it was destined to be mine!
\nThis look, which started with that shirt by DIVIDED (a division of the trendy and economical H&M company from Sweden \u2013 kind of like the IKEA of clothing) is a fun, casual look for a day out. Cropped shirts have been in style on and off for years. But, this is the close I\u2019ll come to wearing something overly revealing.<\/p>\n

Casual rolled-hem shorts by Seven already have that soft, broken-in feel. The neutral, fringed sandals with silver studs by Fergalicious are trendy and comfortable for walking around town. \"BlogDestiny2\" <\/a>And the navy and rattan tote carried all my purchases. I added my own silver earrings, pendant and stacked bangles.\"BlogDestiny3\" <\/a><\/p>\n

Perseverance pays off at Goodwill. Checking the return racks is a great way to discover a fantastic find and the staff keeps the regular racks full by constantly bringing out new merchandise. Keep shopping and you\u2019re sure to find something special.<\/p>\n
