drew barrymore's nifty thrift

Try saying that five times fast! So, Drew Barrymore is making headlines after her recent trip down the red carpet of Nylon + Express's Denim Issue party where she wore $760 Yves Saint Laurent pumps and...a $25 thrift store dress!

I adore this dress and I applaud Drew for making such a fantastic and refreshing choice. I enjoy Oscar season as much as the next gal, but I think it’s important for people to be reminded that it's not always a question of who you’re wearing. This dress certainly reminded me. I love everything about it. The colors work so well on her and the shimmery metallic texture is divine. It's something different and new; oh, and let's not forget the really cute detail on the back. That's so unique. I myself have never been "thrifting" but I've seen these sorts of fantastic finds time after time on so many fashion blogs. On countless Outfit Of The Day posts I've scrolled down, ready to click-click-buy that adorable top or that brilliant necklace and countless times I've seen "necklace: thrifted", "top: thirfted" - or, for heaven's sake, handmade! (You all really are ridiculously talented.) From the beginning of my blog-reading days I've wanted so badly to be graced with the knowledge and wherewithal to be a successful thrift shopper. I've never been quite sure how to give it a try on my own, though. Maybe Drew has inspired me?

I also need to address my hair envy, because it's a bit out of control after looking at these photos. Her hair is gorgeous! Extensions? Bump-It? Inquiring minds want to know, darn it.

Just in case you're not won over by her killer style, contagious smile, monumental hair and (regardless of the pro-nameless theme of this post) YSL pumps, here's a little bit of Drew being adorably Drew...




I'd also like to thank everyone who commented on my last post. It's so inspiring and refreshing to see so many fashion-forward ladies with a healthy attitude towards size. Happy Sunday!
