Happy Monday

How was your weekend?? Mine was alright, can't complain considering whats going on in Japan.  I'm thankful.  I'm gonna show you Friday and today's outfits:

Here's Fridays:

vintage vest: thrifted, ($6)

scarf: h&m ($12)

blue shirt: old f21 ($10)

gap jeans: thrifted, ($14)

And for today's:

 

cream cardigan: thrifted, ($10)

nude blush striped shirt: target, ($10)

j brand jeans: gab bros. ($20)

american eagle boots: thrifted, ($16)

Notice my glitter nails?  You can't really see the, but there will be more on that tomorrow!  For now, I'm going to go munch on some red velvet cheesecake.  Tata!

Hot Pants

These technically aren't hot pants, but they are HAWT pants.

From here I changed my lens to the 50mm one that I haven't even had much of a chance to try using! Do you notice anything different?  Hmm, maybe that it's a tiny bit out of focus.  Also, I noticed it takes the picture a lot faster (faster shutter speed somehow?) and the pictures were more true to the colors.  I always end up having to edit and lighten my photos, these I didn't touch.

boys christian dior blazer- thrifted ($3)

mustard j crew shirt: thrifted ($8)

j crew cords: thrifted ($12)

fiona brand shoe (payless?)- thrifted ($7)

Oh, this color j crew shirt I have been wanting FOREVER! I went to j crew in the mall and it was on "sale" for $30. Best believe I turned my self around and walked out that door empty handed! Shoooot.  The next day I went to Mustard Seed in Bethesda- (which is a more expensive thrift store that I still love because they are fair for their prices) which unfortunately for my pocket, is right across the street from my job.  I frequent it way too often, but especially when I am specifically looking for something in particular, then I go several times during the week.  But anyway, I went and they had it for $8 and I was thrilled.  I'd been wanting it for a while!

So that's that!  I'm proud of myself for my color combos the past two days!  Tomorrow is Friday, I might take a super comfortable route.

Long Day Play

I have several outfits from last week I wanted to share, as well as today's... and my mr.mans who, once again, is taking lessons from his mama on style.  See below (but keep in mind that I save best for last).

I apologize that you can't accurately see the color of my boots.  They are maroon, and they're timbs!  They look more combat bootish, but are all man made materials.  The leather is super soft, the rubber looks like it was a million bucks.  I don't know if it's supposed to be an eco friendly thing or what, but there was something special about them.  Many thought they were ugly, but I got a lot of compliments on them today.  I love them!  They were $30 from Gabriel Brothers.


Favorite Thrift Find:

I'm not sure you can accurately see the shimmers of gray and barely-there-electric-blue  in this vintage Ann Taylor vest, but it might just be one of my favorite thrifting finds.  It was $7.50 (on sale at a pricier second hand clothing store, cuz no one else seemed to want it).  Also, these are my fancy $50 j. crew lounge sweatpants that I ordered.  I loooove them!  They are super warm.  I must say though, I'm already getting loose threads and those little lint balls in between my thighs- and that was after wearing them on the first day.  Do you really get what you pay for??  Not completely convinced yet.


Oh, you fancy huh?

I love wide leg jeans.  I wore this after I wore a very casual outfit the previous day.  Once I realized I don't take as much advantage of the ability to wear jeans to work, I decided to make an outfit with a mix of casual, cute, and work dressy.  I guess it's mostly in the shirt.  Anything with ruffles like that reminds me of "work clothes."  Oh, and I used to be really weird about mixing blues with jeans, but I'm starting to really enjoy it and accept it. 



 No Namer

 A little bit about this outfit...I had been wanting to wear it for a while, but it's been way cold.  Finally I sucked it up and wore this extra long J. Crew tunic that I got thrifted.  I actually wore it with a charcoal gray legging, but everything else was the same.  Except, in this picture the tunic looks a little hoochie and short, I promise it isn't.  And I guess the pictures don't do it much justice, but I felt cute in a preppy way.


Best Below

 Here is my main man.  Yes, that is a tear under his eye.  He was not thrilled to take photos but quickly got over it when I handed him his book.  He loves flipping through books!  And now, he babbles like he's reading, it's so cute!  I just wanted to share this cute little vintage child scarf I found and had to get.  It has little pockets on the bottoms with buttons, so you can button each end together.  I can't get over how cute it is!  I want to find moreeeee.  Geez I love vintage stuff....and my little man who makes these clothes look so cute.

p.s.  I woke up super early.  Going to bed early was well worth it.  I would like to do the same tonight, but I'm watching "The Social Network."  I really like it so far!  Sorry if my post is scatter brained!

Happy Sunday!

Tomorrow is Monday already. ALREADY! I hope your weekend went well!  Mine was alright.  Friday I went to Goodwill with my dad-  he was kind enough to get the clothes for me so Michael wouldn't yell at me, I got the PERFECT pencil skirt, another one, a couple pants, a couple shirts, a belt and a purse I love (haven't bought a purse in a year!).  Saturday, I had a nice date with Michael, we went to the Leesburg outlets in Virginia.  The way we went was a very scenic route, and the weather was perfect!  I didn't buy one thing.  Michael even said "So what?  You only by used clothes now?? You're not even looking at anything!" I thought it was kinda funny.  Anyway, wanted to share Friday and Saturdays outfits:

{Everything from Forever21: dress ($14), jacket (clearance $16?), sunglasses ($4)}

{belt: thrifted ($2)}

Saturdays outfit:

{jacket: rugged warehouse ($4), white tee- Forever 21 ($4), trousers: thrifted (5), belt: thrifted ($2), shoes: Nine West ($70)}

 {purse: thrifted ($5), bracelets: thrifted ($2), necklace: gift}

This outfit is really one of my favorites.  The only downside to these vintage high wasted trousers is that they don't do a lot for my butt.  Either way, I loved this outfit!  When we went to the outlets, I switched the shoes to the sandals seen here.  The outfit looked just as cute.

So, that's all folks! I hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to a good week!
