A Get to Work Look with Abby Road Thrifts

Abby has put some new items in her booth that we think make the perfect Get to Work Look! Show your professional growth by coming to work in style. Along with the perfect work fit, we threw in a few new Abby Road Thrift daily work accessories as well. Read on and Get to Work in style!

Daily Accessory: Cabrelli & Co. Rolling Tote

This Cabrelli & Co. snake-skin rolling tote is an absolute must-have! The black and white snake-skin look can match almost any outfit, making it perfect for any workday. Carry like a purse or work bag or roll it into your next meeting. For just $48, this practically new tote can be yours!

Work Fit

This vintage fit is perfect for a professional setting! The outfit includes a purple periwinkle coat, black top with butterfly accessory, long plaid wool skirt, and black dress shoes. Let’s break down this look!
The purple periwinkle coat is an eyecatcher and the perfect piece to start with. Abby guesses that this OBO New York coat was made in the 80s. It’s a size 3XL and is only $45. Under the coat is a 90s Charlotte Vanhorne collard blouse. It's styled with a $15 butterfly pin brooch. The blouse is a size 14 and is only $16.
Another eyecatching piece to this outfit is the 80s Pendleton plaid wool pencil skirt. This skirt is in near-perfect condition, made in the USA, and is only $48. You can’t get to work without a comfortable, yet stylish shoe. This outfit features a pair of 80s Selby Comfort Flex kitten heels, still with their original box. For just $12, these shoes would fit a size 7 and can go with many professional styles!
To complement the entire fit, Abby has styled this look with a 90s Talbots Black Sequence Purse, for only $18, made of 100% Silk Lace. Who doesn’t need an extra black sequence handbag?

We hope this outfit not only inspires your next meeting outfit but also inspires you to take a trip to Central City and shop local for your fashion needs! Get the outfit featured today at Village Antiques & Art, located at 610 W. 14th Street, Huntington, WV.
