Thrifty Thursday for March

So, going into this week's post I  just want to reiterate that I  don't find every month's finds in one trip.  A lot of it is just pure, dumb luck, then I take pictures and put them into seasonally appropriate posts for the month.  Okay, for the most part.  Definitely not going to be posting sweaters in July.  Usually. Anyways here are the finds for the month!

This was a moment of "Oh this is SO pretty and it looks cute on."  Got home.  It's dry clean only.  Generally I make an effort to buy clothing that I can wash at home.  This one slipped through and has been sitting in my "to be dry cleaned" pile for a minute.  But still so pretty!  It'll be good for a date night out as we head into the weird transitional weather.
Lilly Pulitzer Elsa Top:  Originally $158, paid $10

Lately I've been really into leopard prints.  That's what caught my eye first.  When I saw it was also Tory Burch and in my size I grabbed it, hid it in the clothes already on my arm and didn't let go!  The sweater's in awesome condition (can be hard to find in wool, especially if there are buttons involved), and the wool is SO lightweight it'll also make for a good transition piece.  
Tory Burch Wool Cardigan:  Originally $228, paid $20

This season I've been very into cowl necks.  I have a short haircut and having the extra fabric to cover my neck helps keep me warm.  The fabric is really soft and it even has pockets and thumbholes!
Athleta Studio Cowl:  Originally $89, paid $8

We've been lucky to have a mild winter, so this jacket has been great!  It's just heavy enough on days that I can't justify wearing a down jacket but still need some warmth.
Mountain Hardwear Pyxis Jacket:  Originally $110, paid $7

Herringbone has been big in the last few months, but apparently Athleta was slightly ahead of the trend!  The fabric is pretty thick and it's more of a straight leg than tapered, so I think these will be for wearing around the house or even errands.
Athleta Herringbone Mercer Tights:  Originally $89, paid $6

I have a cousin who was on her equestrian team in college and still tries to ride whenever she can.  Let's be honest though:  It's not a cheap hobby so whenever I find tights for riding in her size, I grab them immediately.  These ones are even fleece lined so that made me very excited to find these!  (Fleece lined athletic leggings are SO hard to find.)
Kerrits Flow Rise Performance Tights:  Originally $70, paid $4

So those are my finds for the month!  Did you have any good finds this month?  Any good races coming up?  I'm in the home stretch of training for the Shamrock Dolphin challenge!  (It's an 8k on Saturday, half marathon on Sunday.)  Start the conversation and leave a comment below!
