My Awkward Denim Shirt

A few weeks ago I was given this short sleeve denim Gap shirt. It looks a little outdated and reminiscent of the 90s and early 2000s, but being the weird person that I am, and being someone who loves to free hand-me-downs, I was super excited. The second I got home I tried it on and started to thinking about how I could wear it. Here's what I came up with, worn last Thursday.

 Top: Gap (Free, from friend)

Skirt: thirfted and altered from vintage old lady skirt, $3.50

Boots: Deb, $10

Necklace: Rugged Wearhouse, $1.99

Belt: thrifted, $1

Hairclip: DIY (virtually cost-free)

Not too bad, right?

Mini-Hiatus

I'm taking a quick trip out of town, I should be back on Saturday with new posts.

See you all in a few days!

The Weather Is Bipolar

Top: JCPenney, $6

Blazer: Express, via Goodwill, $3.50

Jeans: TJ Maxx, $7

Boots: Ross, $18

Headband: Rugged Wearhouse, $1

Today it went from sunny to snowing to pouring rain, and then right back to sunny again (all within about ten minutes). This continued through the day, with some gusty wind thrown in every once in a while too. It was absurd. Thank goodness I didn't wear a skirt?

Springtime Classy

a. Pink/coral striped button down with lace trimming, $3.50; b. Eddie Bauer striped blue button down, $3.50; c. Eddie Bauer dusty blue shorts, $3; d. Forever 21 sheer polka dot top, $3.50; e. baby blue belt, $1; f. J. Crew shorts, $3.

This is my latest Goodwill haul! I didn't realized until I was checking out that all of the items color coordinated, and the whole lot just looks so springy and preppy, it's wonderful. :)

Item A is rather large and shapeless, I liked the color and the lace detailing so I bought it to experiment with some alterations.

I also got these two jackets.

Old Navy canvas jacket, $4 via Goodwill

Etienne Aigner trenchcoat with leather trimming, $7.50 via Goodwill

And last but most definitely not least, I got this gorgeous wrap dress! I love a good classy dress.

Merona Wrap Dress, $4 via Goodwill
