What I Wore: Fancy Florals

blouse: thrifted, levi shorts: thrifted, bdg tennis shoes: uo, tights: walmart

I hit up the thrift store...again. I have been looking for a really flowy floral top as of late and wouldn't you know it, the first thing I see when I walk into the thrift store is this floral gem. I don't about you, but I suffer in hot weather. Don't get me wrong, I love summer. LOVE. But there is something about 100+ degree weather that kills me. It doesn't help that I pair tights with shorts...but I'm not subjecting the innocent public to my legs.

AND OH MY WORD.

You guys, the pairing of my blue tights and red shoes looks awfully familiar...I AM SPIDERMAN.

Daily Outfit: Plaid and Stripes

 

coat: thrifted, shirt: thrifted, jeans: thrifted, boots: ebay, belt: forever21

I am SO lucky when it comes to shopping for clothes at thrift stores. Well, I guess some days are better than others, but lately, I've been finding some really great vintage pieces. Take this coat for example; cute cut, adorable plaid print AND it's warm. It was just sitting on the rack at the thrift, just sitting there waiting to picked up and loved. And boy do I love it. And Em, thanks for taking the pictures. Look at those angles-good eye!

Daily Outfit: Vintage Houndstooth Coat

coat: thrifted, skirt: thrifted, tights: walmart, shirt: thrifted, belt: thrifted, boots: ebay

Ok, do you want to hear an AWESOME story? So I'm at the thrift store today, right? I went in search of specific items telling myself all the while to NOT deviate to the clothes. All I can say is that I tried...I really tried not to look at the clothes. BUT had I not, I would not have walked away with the hounds-tooth trophy I am wearing. And to make the story better? This coat wasn't even in the coat section. Some girl had hidden it away in the vest section...odd, I know. I spotted the coat, snatched it off the hanger and watched as the girl who hid it wander aimlessly around for a good ten minutes before realizing that I had the coat in my hands and was walking directly to the cash register. Yes, sometimes it pays to be cruel. To all the kids out there, don't listen to me.

Daily Outfit: A Furry Little Bow

dress:thrifted, bow:vintage (given to me by cheryl), tights: thrifted, socks:dollar store, boots: thrifted (ebay), belt: h&m

Not too long ago I got an email from Cheryl, a dear friend from my Bunco group. Cheryl is a lover of all things vintage-yay! She thought she had some stuff that I might and enjoy, and boy did she ever! As part of the little bundle of treasures she gave me, the mink fur bow pictured in pic number two was included. I about died when I saw it. It is just so dainty and adds an adorable flair to any outfit. And what better way to show it off then having to say to the closing prayer in sacrament meeting today? Sure, it was absolutely terrifying, and sure, I was shaking a good 40 minutes after, but people got to appreciate the bow? Am I right, or am I right? Thank you Cheryl for the amazing vintage piece!

Daily Outfit: A Blustery Yellow Skirt

shirt: thrifted, sweater: buffalo exchange, skirt: thrifted, belt: thrifted, tights: forever21, boots: ebay

Utah isn't located near an ocean. So can someone please explain to me why we experienced hurricane-like winds all over the state today? I mean, really, 120 mph winds? I kind of wish it just would've have snowed instead, you know, to celebrate the first day of December. Now THAT would have been cool, not semi's blowing over on the freeway... 

Anyways! I (along with my sister, Emily) braved the winds to take these pics. I found this skirt at the thrift store during one of my "snow white" highs. The skirt screamed "snow white" and so I kind of sort of just had to have it. It goes with anything and everything and I absolutely love it. The sweater was purchased at a thrift store in California during one of our many trips to Disneyland. And the tights? Well, who doesn't love a pair of floral loveliness?

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: Magenta and Houndstooth

 

sweater:thrifted, skirt: thrifted, hat: forever21, tights: thrifted, brooch: planted earth, shoes: poetic license

The clouds outside seemed a little on the gray side today, so, I thought to myself, why not brighten it up with a nice, bright, magenta sweater! I found the skirt just the other day at the thrift store and have been practically dying to pair it with a cute vintage sweater. I have had my eye on that ridiculously cute Sarah Coventry brooch since I started working at Planted Earth. On Saturday, I finally made it mine. Happiness. I've been searching high and low for decently priced Poetic License heels. When I found these on Anthropologie's website, I passed out. Not only because they are incredible, but they are also incredibly PRICEY. Thank you eBay! And to my little sister Sarah, seriously, I hope you are enrolled in photography, you have an eye for it!

Treasure Tuesday!

Drum roll please. I am about to introduce to you the most incredible, keel over, amazing sweater you will ever see...

 

Can you say, HOLY SMOKES WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FIND? This little beauty was discovered late one Saturday evening at my place of employment, Planted Earth.Seriously, if you haven't stopped by the adorable little Victorian house on St. Street, now is the time to do so. I found this sweater upstairs in the clothing section, and boy did I whip it off the hanger! Penny, the store owner, (I don't know how she does it, but she KNOWS the history behind each item in her store...amazing) told me that I won't find anything like this. This sweater was made in Hong Kong with each bead carefully hand-sewn on. It's almost to amazing to wear!

Daily Outfit: Our Guest, Sarah

 I would like to introduce my gorgeous little sister Sarah. I know I shouldn't be jealous of my little sisters...but I kind of am. My little sister Emily can play the guitar like it's nobody's business, and my little Sarah, well, she is tall, she is slim, and she looks like she just stepped out of Vogue magazine. Alright, I'll admit it, I'm jealous.  If you haven't already checked out Sarah's blog, visit it at http://adaybeingsarah.blogspot.com/. I promise you'll love it as much as I love her!
