By pairing a textured top with jeans, the outfit has a statement piece, without taking attention away from our model, Jayda. She could easily dress this outfit up for a special event, or dress it down for a casual day.

Get the full fit for under $40, including top, bottoms and footwear.

The model is wearing jeans for a day time look, however, by pairing a skirt or dark pants with the top, the outfit can be dressed up for the evening.

Fashion that’s versatile and sustainable

VERSATILITY

Our model, Haley Mancarella, is wearing a look that is perfect for a fall day. You can rock this look in the cool fall weather, or add jeans and booties as the season begins to change. Layer this fit with a scarf to carry it into winter.

SUSTAINABILITY

By selling or purchasing items from secondhand stores, customers are playing a role in improving the environment.

According to the Council for Textile Recycling, five percent U.S. landfills consist of textiles. By purchasing secondhand clothing items, shoppers can save money and assist in lowering the number of clothing items that take up space in our nation’s landfills.

Plato’s Closet will purchase used items from customers to sell in their shops and most thrift stores offer tax deductions in exchange for donations.
