The Thrifty Six are Vested!

December 15, 2025

This is the last Thrifty Six challenge of 2025…the year has gone so quickly! Sally chose the theme of Vested to see the year out. My immediate thoughts were of sleeveless T-shirts or the crochet vests that I’ve featured here before. But the term vest means different things depending on where you are in the world.

For the latest Thrifty Six challenge we styled pre-loved chiffon. This top with chiffon sleeves and frill detail was a fab Vinted find, it's like having a built in scarf 🧣 I've teamed it with a blue corduroy co-ord that's super comfy 💙🧡

AD | My first made to measure suit from @sumissura 💛  I got to customise everything - colour, style, buttons, pockets, collar, lining...and I've even got my initials monogrammed on the inside of the jacket! The whole design process was so easy, with visual guides to assist. The only difficult part was picking a fabric because I was spoilt for choice! 😍

I've been packing away my summer clothes and realised I've got lots of outfits that I didn't get around to posting. I chose this orange jumpsuit for last month's Style Not Age theme of Autumn Hues, although the photos were taken in Madeira where it always feels like spring! I bought the jumpsuit in a charity shop for £6 several years ago and it's still a holiday favourite 🧡

One of my favourite outfits from my recent trip to Funchal. It was quite a rainy week (nothing on the current deluge here in the UK right now though). It was a bit breezy too, as I realised when a gust of wind blew my lovely hat into the sea! 🤦‍♀️ I wore a baseball cap for the rest of the week! #holidayoutfit #stylewithasmile #styleinspo
