It would have retailed for around $79. I loved the combination of teal, burgundy, mustard and a few neutrals. According to Wikipedia \u201cColor-blocking is thought of as the exploration of taking colors that are opposites on the color wheel and pairing them together to make interesting and complementary color combinations. It is commonly associated in fashion as a trend that originated from the artwork of Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I paired it with a rust-colored suede jacket from Calvin Klein.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0974.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0974-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3759x5262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0974-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0974-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0974-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0974-840x1176.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/> <\/a> My cost was $10, but this would have sold for around $159. It\u2019s a perfect layering piece for fall. It would look smart over a t-shirt and jeans on the weekend and just as well over a blouse and trousers for work.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s boot weather and I was ready to break out these slouchy brown leather boots from Matisse. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1010.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1010-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3045x4263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1010-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1010-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1010-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1010-840x1176.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/> <\/a>I have featured them on the blog years ago, but they are such a classic, I had to bring them back. I love re-using items in new and different ways. My cost was $9.97; retail was $275.<\/p>\n<p>The bag was a great find from the Goodwill Keystone Area Outlet Center on St. Lawrence Avenue in Reading.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1005.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1005-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"2239x3134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1005-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1005-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1005-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_1005-840x1176.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/> <\/a> The merchandise at outlets is typically sold by the pound and I estimate that I paid around $1.00 for this gorgeous oxblood Adrienne Vittadini purse. It was new-with-tags with the original price listed as $295. The necklace was $1.97 and was new-with-tags from Target.<\/p>\n<p>This whole look came together nicely and the color blocking gives the outlet a fun and stylish look. Incorporating styles of art into fashion and finding an outfit that retailed for over $800 for less than $30 at Goodwill is priceless!<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0992.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4184\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0992-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3121x4370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0992-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0992-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0992-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0992-840x1176.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>From my closet to yours,<br \/>\nKirsten<\/p>\n<p>Dress: $6.50<br \/>\nJacket: $10<br \/>\nBoots: $9.97<br \/>\nBag: $1.00<br \/>\nNecklace: $1.97<br \/>\n<strong>Total: $29.44<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Retail: $825+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/KirstenBlogHeadShot.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2276\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2276 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/KirstenBlogHeadShot.jpg\" alt=\"KirstenBlogHeadShot\" width=\"200\" data-size=\"266x246\" \/> <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About The Blogger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kirsten is a 40-something mom, wife and marketing professional.
