Black Floral Birthday

Vintage Dark Floral!

I found this pretty vintage blouse at the thrift store the day before yesterday for $1.50 and decided to put together an outfit with it for my birthday today! In the A.M., I paired the blouse with black slacks, red heels and a black blazer. For the P.M. and out to dinner, I matched it up with a black pleated polyster skirt, the same heels, a yellow clutch and a side bun with vintage sunglasses. (Also, the lovely little vintage coral clip ons I thrifted here, a while back.)

100% Thrifted--everything!

Well, I lied. The bright green cocktail ring is a NEW, cheap, fun piece of costume jewelry...but it was only 1.50...had to add something funky to "throw off the scent"...

It's a Plaid World!

It's a plaid, plaid world!
I love this outfit. SO much fun. So festive! But, you don't have to wait for Christmas time to rock plaid! As you can see from the picture above, I took this thrifted vintage Cathy Daniels plaid blazer (I bought this at Hope's Outlet in Grand Haven, MI for $1.59!) and paired it with dark skinny jeans, a purple vintage rhinestone brooch, the snakeskin Micheal Kors belt (all thrifted items, ofcourse) and red Nine West Platform heels. I did red and gold nails plus a fun cocktail ring with this outfit, along with a dark blue vintage clutch. My favorite part was the fun purple eyeshadow. I dig the way it worked! Very fun and colorful, yet "put together". I'll apologize ahead of time for the "flash"-y photgraphy and lovely (kidding) background of my back porch coat rack, haha! However it was late evening and I was headed out for a performance with my solo acoustic act(Ida's Rope). I didn't want to miss an opportunity to catalog a favorite outfit with you all...so I compromised the photo quality a little in this post. Have fun--get out there and pick up some plaid at your local thrift store!
