Katie Daily Style – Matriculation in Silk

  • Silk shirt – thrifted
  • Pants – Gap
  • Tank – Target
  • Shoes – Softwalk

It’s EBEW Thrift Day!

If there’s one course at Thrifting University I’ve aced, it’s Silk Scarves. With a collection of Chanel, Hermes, Dior, Vera, Liberty and Valentino numbering solidly in the double digits, I’m basically that annoying type-A overachiever who always sits in the front row and raises her hand for every question.

But there’s always more to learn and now that I have one degree under my belt, it’s time for the next. What to study after silk scarves? Why, Silk Shirts, of course!

Enter this beauty:

I snatched this brand new DKNY, 100% silk shirt at Buffalo Exchange for a whopping $5.00 and it’s true love. Not only does is have the most perfect shades of purple, red, cream and gold, but it makes me feel like a giant finger painting. This one definitely gets an “A.”

Here are some other ways I’ve worn my favorite thrifted silk pieces:

Interested in pursuing your own degree in silk thrifting? Check out my post on finding and caring for silk scarves over at My Edit.

And, finally, I have five words for you: Pantsless Flapper-Dude Silk Scarf.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to write my term paper at Goodwill.

  1. that is one fabulous top! you’ve had some great scores!

  2. Gorgeous top – it looks amazing on you!

  3. You’re absolutely right, professor of silks. That IS a beautiful silk top. And I love how you’ve styled it with the slim pants and red shoes. What kind of shoes are those red beauties, by the by?

    • Funnily enough, they’re a pair I was thinking about buying over a year ago! I forgot about them, found them again, and they’re mine. They’re Softwalk, and are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had.

  4. Gorgeous top for a gorgeous lady! I also love those red shoes :)

  5. This top is lovely on you. And I’m so impressed at all the great silk pieces you have found through thrifting. I never seem to have that kind of luck. – Katy

    • I think I find them because I live in a somewhat farming/ranching/cowboy community and not that many people are look for silk. Chaps, yes. Silk, no.

  6. That is a fabulous top. Well thrifted! And then I clicked on the Pantsless Flapper Dude link. Oh my. That scarf is something else.

  7. Your scarf collection is impressive, but you just kicked it up a notch there with that top! I forgot that it was EBEW Thrift Day today, and now all I want to do is go look for something fabulous. It may not be as awesome as that shirt, but we can’t all be that overachieving student :)

  8. You are the undisputed queen of silk scarves. And this silk top–excellent and cool, no doubt.

  9. My favourite scarf thrifter…. you look dynamite. this deserves finger snaps… I only bust those out on very special occasions.

  10. Those crop pants fit you perfectly. If you like thrift store shopping, I host a thrifters link up on my blog every week and would love for you to come over and participate!
