Beg, Borrow, or Thrift Tuesday - Four Ways to Style Sailor Pants

Beg Borrow or Thrift Many of you know that I have been traveling the country in a travel trailer. Living in 320 sq. feet seriously limits how many wardrobe pieces I have on hand at any given time. Therefore, I am very interested in items that can work multiple ways. That was one of the reasons I was so thrilled to find these fabulous Ann Taylor navy blue sailor pants.

A Great Thrift Find Can Equal a Lot of Looks

Here are just a few ways I have styled these versatile pants.

I had fun playing fashion blogger which I clearly am not. Do you enjoy thrifting? Do you have a go-to piece that can be styled very differently?
