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

Shimmering Shoe Showdown

Shirt/Dress: Orig. Moda International; Bought at Curio (Size XXL) 

Remember my thrift tip: Don't be afraid to try on random sizes

Todays Feature: Shoe Showdown!

I decided to show you all how you can dress up/dress down a outfit just by a simple shoe change.

What one do you like better?

Boots:  Ross        Wedges: Kohls; Candies

Accessories: 

Red Arrow Belt: Thrifted (.50)

Arrow-Head Earrings: Forever 21

There are actually both earrings in this one ear! 

Since my hair was all to one side 

I decided to only wear a stud on that side and double up the arrowheads!

Tights: Forever 21

I loved the way the tights glistened in this photo!

I absolutely adored wearing these tights! 

They were funky and out of my usual comfort zone! 

Consider that comfort zone broken;  2012 is all about dressing to please myself 

and to have fun with patterns and color!

(anyone willing to take this carefree clothing challenge with me?)
