Look of the Day: Blue Boho

This royal blue top is another treasure found in last week's thrift store outings. It's handmade, probably circa 1978 or so. Elastic in the gathered neckline makes it perfect for wearing off-shoulder. And guess what? It's for sale in my Etsy store!

 I get so easily obsessed with new accessories. Right now, it's these grey Forever21 sunglasses.

 Oh! And my new star bracelet! I've worn it everyday since I found it at Value Village. It's marked as sterling, but I'm gonna show it to my dad and get a second opinion. Either way, I'm crazy about it! I've been lusting after star pieces since the Rodarte headpiece debuted in 2012. So you know, for 3 years or so.

Bag is vintage, shoes are JCPenny (last year), and pants are Gap (thrifted).

Look of the Day: Bare Shoulders

I see a pattern emerging. I bought this blouse back in January sometime. It was too cold to wear it, but I've been thinking about it ever since. I've also been looking for more like it, and really anything in an off-shoulder style. I plan on wearing it for the rest of the summer. You will probably get sick of it.

The other day I was "Facetiming" with my mom and had two bits of news to announce. First, I bought Birkenstocks! Her response was "You bought WHAT?" I'm pretty sure I bemoaned my parents' choice of footwear my entire childhood, so I understand. I did own a pair of the close-toe Birkentstock after high school, but now I've switched over to the classic Arizona style. I wandered into Nordrstom to check out their annual sale and found these amazingly comfortable soft footbed Birks instead! They're a little trickier to style than I expected, but I've been gathering ideas from blogs like The Chic Curve and pins like this one! Even thought I'm still working out what to wear them with, I'm so glad I'll have them for my trip to New York.

That's my other bit of news! I can't give many details, but trust me, you'll be hearing about it!

Look of the Day: Off-Shoulder Floral

 I wish it was warm enough to wear this. I'm so tired of winter already, and it's not even February! I shouldn't complain as we've had a very mild Winter so far, but it's still chilly and I hate the amount of effort that goes into layering. I prefer simple dressing.

I'm very much looking forward to wearing more off-the-shoulder pieces, like this floral dress. It shows off my favorite features while hiding the parts of my arms that drive me nuts.

Thank you, to my camera, for cooperating and taking some lovely photos.
