What I Wore: Golden Girl

what I wore: dress – vintage from cheap thrills, belt – vintage from grey dog, earrings – kate spade, heels – vince camuto
This dress. Ahhh. It’s one of my favorite finds EVER. The brocade gold fabric is so luxurious. There is a little peter pan collar in the back that my go-go-gadget arms could not capture in photo. I’ve told you how into maxi dresses I’ve been and I wasn’t lying. I’ve worn several over the past few weeks. I also feel like vintage clothes are another art form.

What I Wore: Winter (Black &)White

what I wore: blouse – vintage via potter’s house, skirt – vintage apertif via cheap thrills, coat – my grandmother’s (seen here), tights – hue, slip – vintage, blazer & platforms – forever21, earrings – vintage via mae’s, rings – right purchased on a trip to France & left – dillards
Ahh winter white. I thought of this outfit in my head and was pleasantly surprised when it came out just as good on my person. That does not always happen. More often than not, a collection of pieces looks far better in my mind’s eye than on my body. It’s always nice to prove yourself wrong. Anyway, I love wearing white. I think it looks good in the summer when you have a bit of a glow and it looks great in the winter because as pale as I may feel, I’m never as “white” as white. I think the black really makes it pop. On a personal note, my girlfriends and I went to see Bring It On: The Musical last night. I was completely floored! It was so good! I highly recommend it.
PS: I finally made an extra hole in the ankle strap of my platforms (with a large safety pin). It made all the difference and now I don’t feel like I will die in those shoes one day.

What I Wore: Blue & Green

what I wore: dress – vintage from cheap thrills, bolero – vintage from potter’s house, purple heels – quipid, earrings – gift from Ro (charm & chain)
Look! It’s another transitional maxi dress! This time it’s blue, green and purple – oh my! Seriously, I am taking my maxi obsession to a whole new level. When I saw this dress (it has a low back by the way – can’t wait to bust it out this summer) I knew it would work with both my teal bolero and my padded purple-people-eater blazer. I chose the teal and I loved the combo.

What I Wore: To The Max

what I wore: dress – vintage via cheap thrills, booties – gianni bini, earrings – kate spade
I’ve been enamored of long vintage dresses lately. I love this one in particular. It’s so different than anything else I have in my closet.

What I Wore: Cotton Candy

(what I wore: dress & belt – vintage from cheap thrills, sweater – vintage from potter’s house, tights & earrings – forever21, platforms – bcbg)
I felt like a confection in this outfit. I threw it all together but I think it worked. The sweater (also seen here) is absolutely divine. I hope you’re having a good week! xo

What I Wore: Boxy Blazer

(what i wore: skinny jeans – lee from tj maxx, tshirt – walmart, strappy sandals – charles david, earrings – vintage from mae’s emporium, boxy blazer – vintage from cheap thrills also seen here)
I was pretty much obsessed with this outfit, it felt very 90s but also seasonally appropriate and fun. I whipped my hair back and forth all day!

What I Wore: Clown Pants

(what i wore: pants – riffraff via cheap thrills, flats – gap, shirt – walmart – jacket – tj maxx, scarf – forever21)

Some days you just feel like wearing something that could pass as pajamas but is still appropriate for work. Even someone who adores clothes and the process of dressing needs to take a break once and a while. I feel that everyone should have an outfit that is extremely comfortable but still chic. This is my attempt at such.


What I Wore: The Purple Power Suit




(what i wore: suit – vintage from cheap thrills, heels – charles david, earrings – mae’s emporium, pinky ring – forever21)

I realize that this suit looks quite blue in pictures but I assure you, it was very purple. And delicious. It was $15 at cheap thrills and I absolutely fell in love. Obviously, the jacket and skirt can be worn separately or together. I paired with straight-as-I-can-get hair and black strappy sandals.

What I Wore: She’s a Lady

(what i wore: dress – vintage from trendy mindy’s, heels – steve madden, ring – vintage from cheap thrills, earrings – kate spade)

I went into this little consignment store called Trendy Mindy’s a few weeks ago. They happened to have a load of vintage dresses in exactly (if not a little smaller than) my size! This dress has TULLE SLEEVES! Isn’t it divine? This dress was $15.

What I Wore: Game Day


what i wore above: blazer – vintage from cheap thrills, button down – new york & co, chinos – banana republic, oxfords – forever21, lipstick – covergirl outlast longwear in everreddy
I always have a lot of fun dressing for gameday (especially if our team wins). Rather than wear a team t-shirt and jeans, I like to take the color (red) and run with it!
