Obsessed With: Velvet

by thriftyfashionista on October 26, 2010

Ever since watching Gretchen on project runway rock a burnt orange velvet dress I have been lusting after a long sleeve swingy skirt number for myself. For the first time in a long time I am on a thrifting mission — Velvet separates or BUST!

Here is a Polyvore set of some items that I wouldnt mind adding to my wardrobe although after this past weekends closet clean out with my little sister she might yell at me if I collect anymore then just ONE of these velvet beauties.

Hey Meg!

I am soo into velvet too. I really want velvet shorts – SO BAD! I just wrote a post about this crushed velvet dress I thrifted from goodwill: http://www.stylespotrun.com/2010/10/texas-throwdown.html.

I am going thrifting on Friday so hopefully I score more pieces. Can’t wait to see what you find!

I have a velvet cocktail party dress I wore to a fancy event like 5 years ago – It’s about to go up on Etsy so I need to replenish!
