13 and Down

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are all having a lovely week, it is officially spring time and the rain is everywhere so it seems. 

One day it's raining, the next I am wearing a dress. 

Anywhoo's

Arlina Rose Photography and I did these shots in December at Ruby Hill Winery.

Every piece in this outfit cost less than $12.00!

Jacket: Vintage $6.00 @ Goodwill

Jeans: Cello Jeans $13 @ Ross

I love this jackets stellar shoulder pads!

Tie Blouse: $3.00 @ Goodwill

Look at the awesome buttons!! One of the features that drew me into this jacket!

I adored the roped texture that surrounded the white polished stone.

Steve Madden Heels: NEW $7.00 @ Goodwill

Hat: Swap-meet $6.00

What Inspired This Look?

Threadsence! 

From this outfit you can probably tell that I am in love with Goodwill. 

Although this is true I find them to be a wee bit pricey when it comes to thrift stores.

 This being said, I usually only go when they are having 50% off Apparel sales.

Find your Local Goodwill Store

Something old, new, borrowed, and blue

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

No, I am not getting married - but this phrase is perfect for this ensemble! 

Behind-the-Scenes story: 

The dress that I am wearing for my New Years celebrations is actually a vintage skirt that my Grandma gave me. Last week my Grandparents brought over some of my Grandma's old attire and gave it to me! So I pulled up the skirt above my chest flipped under the waist belt and sashed it with a silk scarf!

My new Steve Maddens!

  I decided they went with everything and splurged on them. They were on the clearance rack (+ a coupon) at Macy's and they are going to be a new staple item to my wardrobe.

(silly one for the shoot) 

Leaf Necklace - Forever 21

I hope you all are welcoming in the New Year with open arms and make the most of it! 2012 is a new year to change your style, attitude, outlook, and life. Don't waste anytime being someone you aren't

My fashion new years resolution: 

1. Hang up all my clothes 

2. Not care if people think what I am wearing is 'weird.' If I like it, that is all that matters.

Any New Years resolutions?
