I have been wanting to complete the $20 thrift challenge for the longest time, however every time I tried to do it, I could not seem to put an outfit together. With Valentine’s Day coming up, and my desire to find a cute outfit, I decided to attempt the challenge one more time.  For this challenge, I created a day and night look perfect for Valentine’s Day.

These are the four thrifted pieces I ended up buying for a total of $16. I thought these pieces would be perfect for a day and night Valentine’s Day look. I paid $2 for the pink crop top, $5 for the blue denim skirt, $4 for the black tank top, and $5 for the black lace skirt.

Look 1:

I paired the pink crop top and denim skirt with some thrifted pieces I already had in my wardrobe. I went for a very casual, daytime friendly look here. This would be perfect for a casual lunch date or even a Galentine’s Day get together.  

Chokers are definitely trending right now. This is a choker I bought years ago from Charolette Russe for $2.  

This quirky belt really tied this look and colors together. I thrifted this belt a while ago for $1.  

I was excited when I finally found this cute pair of flats at Goodwill for $10. 

Look 2:

I am loving this outfit, even though it’s not your traditional Valentine’s Day look. For this nighttime look, I opted for an orange blazer, simply because I don’t own a red, pink, or white blazer. This look is perfect for a Valentine’s dinner. It’s always a good idea to throw in a pop of color.

I thrifted this blazer a few months ago, but I can’t remember the price of it for the life of me.  

Usually, I do not like wearing heels, but they work so well with this outfit. I thrifted these heels for $7.50. Plus, I am a sucker for anything pointed toe.  

The lace details on this skirt had me almost drooling  

With or without the blazer, this look is definitely Valentine’s Day appropriate.

Which look do you prefer?
