Here's my final outfit for the ThredUp Summer Shopping Challenge! How did I do?  This is the most expensive item I purchased, and it is also the one that contains the least fabric. BUT, it is an adorable Marc Jacobs tank top, so I 'd say it's worth the $33.49 I paid. Or am I crazy? It is super soft and perfect for those hot Summer days!  Can you spot the hidden logo? I also wore the Sam Edelman sandals again, these are definitely going to be a Summer staple, so comfortable! And my favorite color, who doesn't love purple?

We're back at the library again today. I just couldn't resist the marble steps and door for these photos as well. I feel like this outfit would be perfect for a nighttime reception or gala...maybe not though. For this third ThredUp look I styled a MICHAEL Michael Kors caftan that I got for $28.49 (I found the same one on eBay for $54.) I was going to wear it with white jeans, but my old self got the better of me and I reverted to dark gray ones.  They make my legs look skinnier and I don't have to worry about getting them dirty! Ha ha.

Here is the second outfit in my ThredUp Summer Shopping Challenge posts! This is something I never though I would find myself wearing: an almost ALL WHITE look! What is happening to me?  I picked up this adorable Studio 1 blouse for only $4.99! I'm very into prints come Summer time so it's great to have more options now. Tomorrow's outfit will also have a great graphic print.

Also, can we talk about the door behind me! Lydia's town library is so perfect for photos! We made sure to go back and use it again for another outfit (tomorrow's, in fact.) I never mind driving the 35 minutes to her for photos because there are so many great locations, and it's more fun taking photos with a friend than with a tripod.

This month I am participating in ThredUp's Summer Shopping Challenge. I was given $100 to shop the store, and let me tell you, it took me FOREVER to go through the site searching for items to buy. There was so much to choose from! Rather than buy a full outfit with my gift card, I decided to buy a few pieces to spice up my Summer wardrobe! Over the next 4 days I'll be sharing the looks created with those items!

ThredUp offers slightly loved clothes for up to 90% off retail. For example, I found a Marc Jacobs dress I got a few years ago for a mere $79.49 on ThredUp; it retailed for almost $300. There is another Marc Jacobs dress I've wanted since I saw Keira Knightly wear it for only $48.99! They have amazing designers such as Rag & Bone, Burberry, Tory Burch and, of course, Marc Jacobs!

Not in a purchasing mood? You can also send some of your clothes to ThredUp to earn some extra cash! I sent a bunch of my unwanted clothes last week and am waiting for them to be evaluated so I can make some extra shopping money. Also, if you sign up with this link, you'll get a $10 shopping credit - what are you waiting for?!

For this outfit I styled a Free People top I scored for $10.99 as well as a pair of Sam Edelman sandals I scooped up for $14.49. How do you beat those prices? Also, while looking at the photos, sing Summer Breeze in your head since that's what I was doing.

Since September I have been participating in Marshalls Project Fab program (I participated in a challenge in August and was chosen to be one of 25 members.)  Sadly, my post featuring outdoor entertaining, was my last challenge of the partnership. I, along with the other bloggers participating, are super sad that it has come to an end. But, since Marshalls is so awesome, they sent one last package. An outfit styled specifically for me!

Before this year I had not been a fan of white jeans, but for our confidence challenge I styled a pair and they've begun to grow on me; much to Lydia's amusement because I still claim I won't buy more white pieces. Now I have this second pair with a little more edge thanks to the zippers and moto-style seams near the knee. Look forward to some more white jean looks soon!

There are no words to express how grateful I am to the Marshalls team for allowing me to participate. It has been one of my favorite stores since I began hunting for bargains with my mom in my pre-teen years. To be able to actually collaborate with a brand I love is a dream come true. Thank you Marshalls!
