pinked

hello, long lost friends. i've missed you! my poor, sweet boyfriend, who is the official photographer of all of my style endeavors, has been suffering from a bad case of vertigo. needless to say, he's been in no shape to operate a camera, or even walk straight, for that matter. i've been playing nurse, so i haven't had much of an occasion to dress up, anyway. i did do a bit of thrifting while josh was laying around recovering, though, and i have lots of new treasures to show you in the near future. below are a couple of my aforementioned finds...

pink striped blouse, thrifted. bright pink tennis skirt, thrifted. shoes, sense. clutch, thrifted. sunglasses, thrifted. jewelry, thrifted/gifted.

sailing through time

if there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that i love a good peplum. actually, i realized immediately after typing that sentence that the fact that i love a good peplum is a pretty inconsequential fact regarding my taste in dress shapes. same difference. anyway, peplum: in my opinion, there a few things more flattering and feminine. i got pretty excited when i saw this dress at the thrift store. it's silk, it's vintage and it's nearly flawless. i had all 10 fingers and toes crossed that it would fit me as i was heading to the dressing room and, whaddaya know, like a glove!

spaced out

cat eyes are starting to feel a little passé, aren't they? i thought so. on that note, i give you the alien eye. i think they scream "pretty weird, but in the know". at least that's what i heard when i found this pair in the bottom of the sunglass basket at the thrift store the other day. one of my other new favorites: the senso acacia pony that i got during the great solestruck crisis of '11. perhaps you recall. back sometime around cyber monday, there was a 50% off sale, and the gigantic flock of people trying to purchase shoes for the bargain price of a lifetime caused the entire site to crash. luckily, my old fashioned sensibilities kicked in immediately and i remembered the telephone. apparently hundreds, or maybe thousands of other shoe enthusiasts were also able to recall a time when one placed orders over the telly, and the phone lines were going crazy as well. i was, however, able to get ahold of a guy named ty, who despite the chaos managed to make all of my shoe dreams come true. last but not least, there's an oldie but goodie involved in this here outfit. i'm talkin about the red and white stripe-y, crop top-y little number up top. every time i wear it, i realize all over again that it's one of my favorite vintage pieces, and that it's versatile as shit. i picked it up from myla over at the huntress a couple of years ago at a neighborhood vintage market type thing. i highly recommend you check out her blog and vintage shop. she's knows how to pick em.
