Cobalt Blue: The bright color that looks good on everyone

June 2, 2015 by Double Minted

Few things in your wardrobe can make a statement quite like bold, bright colors. This spring we’ve been on the hunt for one of our favorites: cobalt blue. This color is actually pretty easy to find thrifted. We suspect it’s because it looks good on everyone, whether you’re pale like us or on the tanner side, whether you’re blonde, brunette, or black haired.

Cobalt blue is also a very versatile color. It pairs well with neutrals, like black, white and tan – as well as with other brights, like yellow and pink. And while it’s definitely a bright color, it doesn’t have any of the strong connotations that wearing red does (it says “look at me” and not “hey, baby, look at me”). Plus, there’s the whole royal blue thing, and who doesn’t want to feel like royalty.

Below we have picked two of our favorite cobalt blue thrifted finds, which both happen to be dresses. Devon’s is a bit more on the casual side and Britt’s is a bit…foxier? Both were a lot of fun to find and model!

Thrifted Wardrobe Basics

May 5, 2015 by Double Minted

We’ve seen a few thrifters say that thrifting is worthwhile as long as you’re looking to get big-ticket items for cheap, such as fancy dresses, coats, and shoes. We respectfully disagree! Thrifting for fashion basics is just as worthwhile, as long as you keep and eye out for quality (see our Thrifting Tips for more on that).
 
Here are a few of our favorite wardrobe basics that we’ve found. By basics we mean timeless pieces that can be used to put together many different outfits and can be dressed up or down depending on the situation.
 
 
Devon’s Layered Basics
Classic Tan Trenchcoat – $13.99 from Goodwill
Tan Plaid Scarf – $2.49 from Goodwill
Black Ralph Lauren Pumps – $14 from Goodwill
Etienne Aigner Crossbody Bag – $5 at Salvation Army

Put Together: More Festival Style

April 27, 2015 by Double Minted

Festival style is having a serious moment right now and we couldn’t help but get caught up in it. Since we were in the desert anyway for our family reunion, we decided to indulge in the full-on hippie-chic side of the craze. That’s what Coachalla is known for, after all, and we could practically smell the clouds of dust, tobacco and other substances wafting over from the next valley.

For the outfits below, we mixed a few pieces we already owned with some of our favorite thrifted finds. Comfort is always a factor for festivals, so we kept our eyes out for soft fabrics in flowing silhouettes.

The metallic tattoos we used are called Hot Jewels – they’re like Flash Tats, but you can get them at your local Walgreens drugstore for $9.99 a pack.

Brittany’s Outfit
Crop top – $3 at Goodwill (full price equivalent $20)
Patterned skirt – $5 at Goodwill (similar $20)
Scarf – $7 at H&M (similar)
 Gladiator sandals – $65 at Macy’s (full price equivalent $60)
Necklaces – H&M and made by Devon
