Le Thrift Falls for Fashion

Looking for the perfect fall look?  Le Thrift has plenty to offer your fall wardrobe including designer boots, comfy sweaters, perfect jackets, and accessories galore.  I styled this look using a mix of modern and vintage pieces to create a versatile ensemble.  Pair this look with tights and it's suitable for work.  Or swap the sweater for a black sleeveless top for a night out.  Tired of wearing the same old necklaces?  A helpful styling tip: wrap a sequined scarf around your neck and secure it with an interesting brooch (we're digging our vintage gold owl!).
