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.

More Vintage Guys!!!

One thing you all know about me is that I am a vintage lover; hence the name of the blog - Something Old, Something New.  Recently, I scored a few pre-loved vintage pieces from a family friend.  In this post I am wearing a dress that actually looks like 2 piece top and skirt, but in actuality it's a dress.

Not So Basic

Hey guys, I want to introduce you all to this amazing nineties print jumpsuit that I scored while visiting my bestfriend in Texas.  She has fabulous clothing just laying around, and whenever I'm around I definitely reap the benefits. 

Since it's starting to warm up, I wanted to get out and take loads of pictures in fun outfits to inspire you guys. So before I started with the fun outfits, I wanted to do a post on a few basics that I recently bought.  Sounds good, right??  Nope.  None of my basics worked together.  I had a fantastic pair of patchwork jeans, a crisp white button down shirt, and my brand new pair of Stans all perfectly paired, but I couldn't get the items to work together in an outfit.  My photographer helped me come to the conclusion that maybe basics don't suit me.  So that's when I went and grabbed this cute little jumpsuit, and opted to pair it with a basic. 

Breaking Down Basics

1.  Instead of attempting to wear all of your basics together, opt to pair them with seasonal prints and colors.
2.  Understand that all basics just might not suit you, so don't force it.
3.  Basics aren't always black, white, or neutrals - they are your go-to or statement pieces.
