Fall is here, which means it’s finally time to pull out all the cozy long-sleeve pieces! If you find an oversized button-down at your local thrift store, don’t pass it up. One simple shirt can become several cute outfits without spending extra money.

The Front-Tie Look

For an easy everyday outfit, unbutton the bottom few buttons and tie the ends at your waist. Pair it with high-waisted jeans and sneakers, and you’re ready for coffee with friends or a casual day at school.

The Cropped Look

Want something a little trendier? Crop your button-down to your favorite length. Leave the edges raw for a relaxed, vintage feel, or hem it for a cleaner look.

The Off-the-Shoulder Look

Heading out with friends? Unbutton the top a little and pull the shirt off one shoulder for a fun and stylish look. 

Who knew one thrifted shirt could do so much? This fall, get creative and give your thrift finds a second life! Thrift tip for girls and guys: Check the men’s section for oversized button-downs. Trust me, they usually have the best options!
