 Dress- Thrifted

Earring- Papaya

Shoes- Steve Maddens from Ebay

Lipstick- MAC Red

I’m insanely in love with these shoes. The pictures don’t do them much justice, but they’re covered in silver glitter. I snagged them off ebay a couple months ago but haven’t had much chance to wear them until recently. The velour dress was thrifted, and originally a maxi but I decided to cut it into and ultra mini. It got quite a bit of wear during the holiday season. As soon as I went outside to take these pictures I instantly regretted my outfit of choice as it was frikkin cold! I’ve always lived in Washington, but the winters still seem far too cold for me. I’ve been playing around with my clothes trying to find outfits that are both warm and chic. (This was obviously not one of them.) I have to say I do miss shorts season! & if the title of this post had you curious, the overcast day brought to mind Nirvana.

Patchouli

 Dress- NastyGal

Hat- Thrifted

Purse- Grandmothers Closet

Boots- Gifted

Bangles- Papaya Living

Ring- Gifted

Earrings- Forever 21

 I often match my fragrance to my outfit. I felt very 1960's in this Joplin dress, with cowboy boots and a tapestry bag. So I decided to go for patchouli. Lots of patchouli. And then I began to forget that I was living in 2012, and kept imagining myself dancing at Woodstock, with flowers in my hair... The purse was one of the many amazing items of vintage clothing I've inherited from may grandmother, Loretta Mae. In fact I've inherited an abundance of pieces from both of my grandmothers, and I must say, the ladies had taste.

Making a conscious effort to get as much wear out of my summer pieces as possible before the cold weather hits, although I'm a bit eager for cool enough weather to wear the sweater I thrifted for $2 today.

Target did me well

Dress-Target

Hat- Target

Bracelets- Swap-meet

Moccasins- Nordstrom

In love with this denim dress. Got it a few years ago from Target, but never wore it much until recently. It's late and I've got to head to bed soon (well, admittedly I'm going to watch Olympic gymnastics for a bit first), so not much time to type atm. Did do my midterms today, doing Summer quarter online, so a bit less on my plate now (can't help but the notice metaphors!) & more time for blogging.
