Outfit: Flower Child

skirt – vintage from Daisy Exchange, white tee – hanes, belt – vintage, platforms – BCBG, right hand ring – mom

I found this delightful vintage skirt at the Daisy Exchange in Fayetteville. This is a perfect example of why I like shopping there. It was $4. No offense, but the people that run the place have no idea how to price quality vintage items. The same skirt at cheap thrills would have been at least $20, which still would have been reasonable. It wraps around and clips in the back, it’s extra long and it also has pockets!

Gooooood morning! I’m back in the gym, taking GPOYs and definitely not working out. Yesterday I wore a black & white ensemble that reminded me of a tuxedo and realized again how much I love trousers.

top – BCBG, pants -Forever21, heels – oops forgot the brand but purchased at TJ Maxx, earrings – vintage (Grey Dog), sunnies – Ultra

I wore a dress with a train.

What I wore: Dress – TJ Maxx, Blazer – Vintage (also seen here), Heels – Michael Antonio

Oh hello…

Here I am, casually looking casual in the gym. Not working out but rather, using the mirrors to take pics of my outfit. I wore a dress from TJ Maxx that I’m slightly obsessed with. It’s a jersey/stretchy fabric in a tawny color. It’s totally comfy and it has this amazing train. I wear it way too often. The heels are also one of my favorite pairs. I picked them up at Shoe-nami on Magazine in New Orleans for like $12. I’m also working a bit of a tan. I laid out in my backyard for probably 30 minutes on Saturday and looked like a lobster for it. Thankfully, it’s finally died down a bit.

I will soon be posting pictures of the new digs!

I Wore Suspenders

What I’m wearing: glasses – Ultra Studios, suspenders – Claire’s, long sleeved white tee – Forever 21, high waist black pants – New York & Co, blazer – vintage, heels – Forever 21, flower – Forever 21

Sorry I’m not sorry for my GPOY. But I thought you guys should know that they sell suspenders at Claire’s in your local mall and they are worth every penny of the $8.00 I spend on them. They are total outfit-transformers. You could literally wear an outfit one day and wear the exact same thing the next day (add suspenders) and no one would notice you hadn’t changed! No guarantee on that one.

Do you grow tired of my bathroom mirror photos at my corporate office? I hope not because they shall continue…

I Wore A Turban…

What I wore: turban – vintage from Cheap Thrills, blazer – vintage, jeans – Banana Republic, heels – vintage

I mentioned here that I was a fan of turbans but had not yet tried one out. A few weeks later, I found a vintage one at my favorite shop in Fayetteville – Cheap Thrills. I must say, I got a few ‘complisults’ at work. People said things like, “only you would wear that”. Haha.

Who cares, that’s why I love fashion – the ability to experiment. I do realize I’m taking a risk by posting a photo of myself after brutally judging the attendees of the met ball. Oh well!

So now that you see me in a turban, would you wear one?

When People Stare…Just Smile

October 20, 2010October 20, 20101 Comment

I am someone who tries (but does not always succeed) to be fashion-forward, I try outfits that I consider to be chic. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t but it’s the thought that counts, in my opinion. That’s how you develop your sense of style – by trying new things and standing out. Not everyone appreciates this. Some people will stare or laugh or point but that’s usually because they’re dressed in crocs and do not want or try to understand fashion. I appreciate all those that take pride in the way they look and I realize that most of us (myself included) cannot do it every day. If you are discovering your style and dress against the norm, just smile at those that look at you like you’re crazy. A smile is prettier than a frown anyway. xx
