“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.”

Nothing says Audrey Hepburn style like a little pink! The first “I believe in pink” outfit consists of a Banana Republic light pink button down cotton blouse, a Gap high-wasted glitter tulle skirt, and a Gap black long sleeved crew-neck sweater. All three pieces can be found on the Like Twice online consignment store for a total of $42!! When layering sweaters and blouses, it is important to wear a blouse that fits tightly to your body and a crew-neck style sweater. If the blouse is too big the layering will look sloppy and unflattering. The crew neckline, like the sweaters shown below, will layer effortlessly with a collared blouse and create a perfect space for the statement necklace. A shirt and sweater ensemble can be worn with anything—jeans, pants, and skirts. But if you are looking for a preppy style, try a high-wasted tulle skirt to dress up your look!

Yes, there is snow on the ground but am I ready for spring? YES!!! The second look is all about pink florals! This is great ensemble that consists of a Lauren Conrad floral chiffon blouse from Kohls and Gap distressed legging jeans from an online consignment site called ThreadFlip. When wearing a chiffon blouse or tops that have similar shape, wear a fitted skirt or skinny jeans. This will help flatter your figure while still offering a lovely carefree style. Add a pair of light colored flats and bracelets and you’ve got the perfect pink outfit! The top is on clearance at Kohls; and the outfit totals to $32!

The next outfit is a similar dress style like our lovely lady is wearing in the feature image. While the price of this dress and shoes are not as exciting as the last, it is still worth the look! When wearing a fit and flare style like this Liz Clairborne dress at JCPennys, it is necessary to wear pumps or heeled sandals. Flats will hide your legs and make the dress look too large, too long, and shorten your overall perceived height. The sandals featured are one of the top selling styles for spring! Beige matches everything and creates a soft look to any outfit. Feel free to add 3-5 chunky bracelets to add color and sparkle to the outfit. Wear a necklace OR multiple bracelets–never both with a dress like this. It will look too gaudy and not provide a simple elegant look. Check out those bracelets on Mindy Mae’s Market!

Stay tuned this weekend as I look at the price differences when shopping department stores verses consignment shops. Are you getting a better deal? What do you NOT buy at second-hand stores? Take it from Audrey will uncover the secrets for consignment store shopping!
