Nude, Navy and Grey Today

GREY, NAVY, STRIPES AND NUDE PUMPS TODAY

Today's outfit is all thrifted with exception of grey Carolyn Taylor cardigan and shoes...it's one of those neat removable fur sweaters. My mommy got it for me for Christmas--thanks, mom! The collar is actually a statement necklace--remember my DIY?--that I made from another shirt.

Have you tried navy, grey, white and nude together? It's a color combination I really love. I also dig the apricot tones in my nails and the light purple--found in one of the double stacked rings on my finger below--along with vintage rhinestone pin accent and vintage clip on earrings.

The Tommy Hillfiger handbag was a .25 cent find at a garage sale this summer! It happens to match my nude pumps perfectly. I love these matte CityClassified shoes; I wear them a lot! They were an Overstock.com purchase that is no longer available as far as I can tell, but if you are in the market for a leg elongating nude shoe, check out these shopping results from Amazon.com!

P.S...I use L.A. Colors nail polish and accent brushes available from many stores for $1 each. I really like their nail art products!

 

Stolen off the streets: Plaid and shorts!

STOLEN….OFF THE STREETS!

I was out to dinner with the fam last night and saw a girl sporting an outfit cute enough to steal! I immediately thought it would be fun recreate this outfit with thrifted items! In the future I might be brave enough to snap a picture of my “victims” before I rob their fashion sense, but between you and me, this one’s under the radar!

HER LOOK: A loose fitting plaid shirt, worn with shorts (fairly short in length) and a brown braided belt.

MY ADDITIONS: white straw fedora and accessories! My outfit cost total (shirt and belt was a gift from my birthday this year): $7.50. Shorts were actually brand new with tag from Goodwill for $5! White straw fedora was new…one dollar from Dollar Tree! Bought a blue as well, for that price, what the heck! Vintage clip ons: $1.50 from Lakeshore Rescue Mission Thrift in Grand Haven, Mi, and bangles/purse were a yardsale find for $1.

The actual shorts pictured here look longer than they really are, due to the impossibility of dressing a one legged dress form in shorts to begin with. Haha! That was tricky…

Have you seen a look that you’d like to see me steal and “thrift trick”? Stop by my Facebook page and post a picture to my wall…I’m always up for a challenge!

Also, keep your eyes peeled for some guest spots in the early part of next week and some thrifting adventures this weekend. I’m heading down to Lansing to visit some NEW places with my favorite thrifting partner, my mom! J

Collections

It's a hoarder friendly way of saying, "I'm obsessed!"

But really...sometimes I just love to get all my items out and put them in a big pile and roll in them.

OK, maybe I just roll in it with my eyes.

What do I collect?

-Vintge clip on and screwback earrings

-Vintage Brooches

-Owls and Mallard Ducks

-Marushka Screen Prints

And all kinds of household items. Behold, a feast for the eyes! I probably don't need to tell you that all of these items were THRIFTED (not antiqued) for less than a few dollars each. The most expensive item was the Marushka print, at $4.50.

(BY THE WAY, that's a wooden DUCK PHONE you are looking at. And if you aren't already jealous enough, THE FREAKIN' eyes light up when it rings.)

Thanks for peeking at the blog today. I'll see you tomorrow for an outfit post!
