Fiesta is about to kick off here in good ol' San Antonio which means parades, colorful outfits, Fiesta Medals, and lots and lots of FOOD! This will be my first year going to Fiesta so I'm totally excited! Not to mention that I'm the festive type so today I challenged myself to find an outfit and accessories for NIOSA (Night In Old San Antonio) at where else, Goodwill!
Goodwill has so many options to choose from so I'm going to dedicate TWO blogs to possible Fiesta ideas for my readers. Sizes, colors, styles all varied and each screamed FIESTA!
So for this first entry I wanted to focus on the outfit portion of a fun and festive Fiesta/NIOSA ensemble.
When I hear the words "festive" "fun" "fiesta" I think of pops of color, sparkles, and the gaudier the better!
The first item I stumbled upon was this racerback tank from Express size large (price 14.99). What I love the most about it is that the sequins are just as dramatic in the back as in the front. I personally prefer any adornment done to an article of clothing to be "complete" in that sense that the pizazz and flare flows to the back instead of kind of just ending at the side seams in the front. This would make a great tank for someone who's looking to sparkle and stand out and still be cool and fresh outside (hey, South Texas heat is no joke!)
This Charlotte Russe (size medium, price $4.29) spaghetti string tank was another item that caught my eye that could be Fiesta-ish. It's full of color, patterns, and has that gorgeous embellishment on the bust.
So this blue tank stood out to me the minute I laid eyes on it. I love that shade of blue (reminds me of a peacock) and then with those gold sequins YAS! The brand is Star City (never heard of it) and it's a size Medium. This ended up being something that I purchased for myself at a whopping $4.29! It's definitely a contender to be my blouse for NIOSA.
Truth be told this white with gold sequin blouse is a line for girls but hey it fit! I broke my own rule on this one about the drama and flare of the blouse ending in the front but since it was so cute I was willing to let it slide. The brand is Dreampop and it was $4.29.
I also came across this super duper colorful skirt size XXL for $4.29 also. On the right person I could totally see this at Fiesta! It's loud, colorful, and whimsical. Festivals are all about being comfortable and whoever wears this would definitely be able to walk around, dance, eat, and drink without feeling uncomfortable.
Lastly-if the sequins and loud skirt isn't your cup of tea then you can't go wrong with colorful pants and Goodwill has a slew of them! On one of my previous blogs I showcased a pair of pink floral jeans I purchased for less than $5. The key is to just try things on.
Don't forget to get your Fiesta Medal at any of the Goodwills around town! Only $7! This is my first official Fiesta Medal and it couldn't have been more suiting that it was a Goodwill one!
