Daily Outfit-Nerd Glasses and Red Socks

skirt: thrifted, shirt: h&m, cardigan: thrifted, tights:thrifted, boots: thrifted, socks and tights: thrifted, belt: thrifted, nerd glasses: walmart

You know, the more I look at these pictures, the sooner I come to realize that I have...how do you put it...a large forehead? Yikes...Anyways, I wear these boots a lot, and I mean more than I probably should...but aren't they awesome? I don't buy accessories or clothes at Wal Mart because I am usually too busy in their book or movie section...but on my way to the cash register one day I scored these glasses! Sure I get a few, *cough*, several weird looks when I wear them, but if i didn't love them, who would?

Daily Outfit: A Dash of Pink

 

blouse: thrifted, skirt; thrifted (pendelton), shoes: UO, headband and tights: forever 21, necklace: thrifted, crazy little sister: priceless

I thought it was going to be chilly today so I made sure to bundle up. Well, about halfway through work the heater really started heating up and I was getting WARM. But, on the bright side, it was a gorgeous day outside. Mom and I ran some errands ( she asked if I wanted to go to Savers, I am still in shock), taking Emily to guitar lessons, visiting Grandma and Grandpa (no, that's not an errand, but a pleasure), watching Vampire Diaries (they can't really expect me to wait till January to see the next episode, do they?). Both the skirt and the blouse in this outfit have amazing little details which you can't see...and yes, my little sister always looks like that (haha kidding, but I love her anyways)

Daily Outfit: Pleasantly Pink

 

sweater: thrifted, dress: thrifted, jeans: thrifted (forever 21), belt: thrifted, shoes: thrifted (MIA), necklace: thrifted, headband: forever 21

I don't know if it's just dumb luck (if it is, keep it up!) or what, but I have been coming home lately with some fabulous thrift finds. The dress was way to large in the bust area, but too cute to just give up on. Solution? Throw on an adorable cable knitted sweater over the top, cinch up with a braided belt and layer over some skinny jeans. Stylish AND warm.

Terrific Thrifts Tuesday

1. Two words. Vintage. Bambi. Made of wood!! Isn't it completely melt your heart worthy? I found it at my local thrift store, and for a buck (no pun intended), I couldn't pass it up. It now hangs adorably on my wall.

2. I'm a sucker for Peter Pan. I am also a sucker for peter pan collars. I think I might have drooled just a bit when I saw this gem on the rack at the thrift store. I'm not a huge fan of 60's wear, but c'mon, you would have bought it too. 

3.You know that feeling? When you find something that you instantly fall in love with? You know, your heart starts beating really fast and you start thinking that if you don't grab it right then and there it will be lost forever and your life will never be the same? Basically that's what happened when I found this book. That, and I might have hyperventilated a bit. I LOVE ALICE. 

4. There is nothing I love more than 1940 era dresses. Styles back then were just so classy. It's blue, it has ruffles, and the skirt actually goes past my knees. Thank you modest cuts! Can you be in love with a dress?

5.Vintage MIA shoes. Don't know what that stands for, but I know that these wedges are totally retro, totally cute, and totally match with almost any outfit.

Daily Outfit: Flawlessly Fall

 

dress: thrifted, shoes: thrifted, tights: forever 21, brooch: thrifted

I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it. It's a 40's shirt dress, complete with full skirt! It's very rare that dresses fit me perfectly, this one fits like a glove! The shoes get their own post. Basically, one of my favorite thrift finds. And thank you Forever 21 for making amazing tights. Seriously, they have hundreds of styles. Amazing. The End. 

Daily Outfit: Stripes and Zig-Zags

 

tank: old navy, skirt: cooperative: cardigan: h&m, oxfords: cooperative, socks: vintage

 Sarah (my gorgeous little sister) and I ventured to Old Navy the other day and were most pleasantly surprised to find that they were having a 75% sale...on...everything...*GASP*. I quickly snatched up my $2 dollar yellow tank and a few (several) other items. My amazing friends, who seem to know exactly what I would have picked had I gone on a shopping trip to Urban Outfitters, purchased the adorable skirt for me as a birthday present.And I'm sorry, but who doesn't love knee-high socks? 'Nuff said. 

Daily Outfit: Fab Fifties

skirt: h&m, shoes:cooperative, socks: thrifted, shirt: thrifted (derek gould for black chandelier), necklace: forever 21

Fabulous Fifties! Honestly, the 50's would have been the time to be a teenager. They had amazing style, and really knew how to have some wholesome fun! I love anything with a peter pan collar, and when I saw this at my local thrift store, I about passed out. I researched it online, and apparently the designer only sells to one store, Black Chandelier. His clothes are dang expensive, and now I have my own at the very negotiable price of 3 bucks. *warm fuzzy feelings all over*
