Something Old, Something New

Something Old, Something Older featuring vintage blouse and Girbauds

Hiya!!! Back to feature this beautiful vintage embellished blouse.  Lucky for me at this point, all of my family, extended family and friends know I am the thrift/vintage fashion girl, so whenever someone comes across something remotely vintage looking they grab it for me.  I actually received this beauty a few weeks ago from my cousin's mother in law...random right??

Initially I wanted to only take pictures of the blouse to post on my shop page, but when my boyfriend brought in an authentic pair of Girbauds (that he wore during high school), I couldn't resist.  I had to try them on at that moment, and when I looked down at my outfit, the contrast of everything just kind of worked.  So this post could actually be called Something Old, Something Older.

Ruffles and Rainbows

With warmer temps on the rise; brighter, lighter clothing and sandals are obvious.  I recently updated my wardrobe with a few pieces for Spring from H&M, and it should be no surprised that I rushed for this ruffled sleeve knit.

Over the past year, my personal style has changed so much.  I remember a conversation with one of my tutors from fashion school telling me how drastically my style would change as I settled into my new career...and boy was she right.  I dress much simpler than before, placing a lot of attention on details and singular statement pieces.

These Boots were made for Walking

Hey guys, I wanted to formally introduce you all to my new babies.  I have actually had them for about a month and I've been wearing them non-stop, but I haven't been keen on taking outfit post pictures due to the insanely cold weather.   However, on this day the weather cooperated, so I got my photography to snap a few shots of this look.

So as you all know I am obsessed with black, white or any combination of the two.  This outfit, I paired a basic white rollneck with an old pair of culottes from my college days that I have been practicallyliving in.  They are the comfiest material ever.  To sort of bring the look together, I topped off the look with a cozy, black fur jacket.
