Look of the Day: Denim Shirt Dress & English Tan Coach

Yet another dress I bought with the intention of listing on Etsy, but, instead, have given it a home in my closet. Such a perfect fit in a lovely indigo blue.

Look of the Day: Debbie Downer & a Feather Vest

 Ugh. I'm grumpy. I'm mad at my hair. I'm mad at myself for eating crappy food. And I'm mad that this vest isn't as flattering in photos. It's so flufffffyyy.

It's kinda been one of those weeks where you pick out things about your body to rag on and then, when you say them out loud, you realize how ridiculous it is. For instance, my knees have muffin tops. How dumb does that sound? That's not even a thing. Thanks a lot, sub-conscious insecurities. 

Thank goodness for amazing bloggers like Dana Suchow of Do The Hot Pants. She's a huge inspiration and voice of reason, especially when it comes to body image and body love. She calls out societal bullshit but isn't afraid to discuss her own instances of low self-confidence and negative body image. It's just so comforting and reassuring to know that someone this gorgeous struggles with the same things that I do. Not that I want her to be miserable or that I think that it makes the negative thoughts okay, but it's nice to feel like you have a comrade. The solution? Love thy self and do things that make you happy and fulfilled!

Everything is thrifted from Value Village!

Look of the Day: Wool Loden Coat & Madewell Tunic

Man, I cannot think of anything to write. Not that I ever have tons to say! I'll just keep it short today. Three out of five of the items I'm wearing are thrifted. The jeans, the shawl collar coat, and the Madewell shirt! My coat closet is exploding.

Look of the Day: Petite Étoile

Since my birthday landed on a Tuesday, I took the weekend off and spent it doing whatever I like. I went shopping, hung out with a friend and my dad, and ate more Taco Bell than anyone ever should. This top was more than I like to pay at H&M, but it was my birthday, so I splurged. I just love the little stars and the flattering convertible neckline. If your birthday hasn't come yet, you can look forward to the NARS lipcolor I'm wearing for your Sephora Birthday reward :)

Look of the Day: Black Floral & Boyfriend Jeans

I bought these jeans at Value Village about a year ago, with the intent to sell them. All of a sudden, though, I've fallen in love with them. I really never thought I'd say "I love my ripped boyfriend jeans" EVER! The biggest benefit is the comfort. Also, I think it's pretty cool that all the rips and fades happened because these used to be someone's favorite jeans. They've even got a wallet fade on the back pocket. So killer.

Look of the Day: Thrifted Floral

It's been one of those magical weeks when it comes to thrift shopping, so I was inspired to get my camera out. I took photos of three different outfits! First off, this dress! It's from Old Navy, but I found it for $6 at Goodwill. Not exactly the best fabric for the 80 degree weather we've been having, but I couldn't not  wear it. I love it too much!

My second outing to a thrift store resulted in 3 amazing denim finds. First off, a pair of vintage Wranglers in fabulous condition. Unfortunately, they're a size 1, so they're up for grabs on my Etsy. Second, a pair of Acne skinny jeans for a whopping $4! That's like a savings of $246. The third pair was found in the boy's section (my favorite place to look since I'm small). They're a pair of raw denim jeans made about 10 minutes from me in Ballard. They're from the sadly-closed store, Blackbird. They used to make jeans and sell a great selection of men's wear, but have since moved to selling perfumes, incense, and super-cool beard oils online and wholesale. The jeans are another size tragedy, but they were too good to pass up.

More outfits coming soon!
