Overcast

Corset details on side.

H&M romper, Target cardigan, Aldo Mignogna wedges, and Kathy Van Zeeland bag.

So maybe I was a bit over zealous (something I am quite often) when I bought this romper during the after Christmas sales, mainly because I couldn't wear it for four months.

I love its perfect airiness and the flow of the old fashioned shorts. The combination of girlie with gritty cord ties make it a really fun piece.

I had been waiting for the perfect time to wear it since thigh highs and tights don't look quite right with it. Well that perfect time came when the weather was almost warm during my weekend rituals with my boy. We head downtown to our favorite restaurant for lunch and just bask in the glory of having nothing to do.

People around town didn't seem to like my romper as much as I do. They gave me strange looks, probably because they think it's not warm enough for bare legs. Anything 50 and up works for me!

I've noticed that I wear these wedges quite often even though I have loads of shoes to chose from. They're too comfortable to say no to when styling an outfit, I even brought them to NYC knowing they would be great to hit the sidewalk in. Even though they probably qualify for the world's greatest shoe, I will make an effort to show more of my expanding shoe collection.

I think this rainy day has finally caught up to me, so I'm off to bed. Have lovely dreams and don't let to boogeyman get you!

Favorite Things

While gathering these photos for this post I realized it's my 100th post! What a fitting time to share some of my favorite things with you. I feel like I've kept my blog life at an arm's length from my real life, I want to change that.

1. My bedroom

2. Where I get ready, which includes: jack-o-lantern cosmetic holder, a picture of me and my best friend, my kitty cat lamp, and a heart shaped box from my mom.

3. The top shelf of my bookshelf that contains some of my favorites. It also holds my collection of elephants, I'm a little obsessed with elephants.

4. The view from my bedroom window.

5. Basic girlie necessities, my grandpa's cigar boxes that I keep jewelry in, and my grandma's jewelry box.

6. My kitties Plinko and Sig.

7. Eyeball

8. Kitty cat ring holder.

9. My windowsill.

Silly Betsey

Hello lovelies! I recently acquired this amazing Betsey Johnson Tea dress at a ridiculous low price. I've always wanted one of these tea dresses and find them super dreamy. It might be juvenile, it might be super girlie, but it makes my heart pitter patter. (I'm lame I know.) Unfortunately it didn't fit so I'm selling it. Hopefully it will make a lovely girl as happy as it makes me.

I also wanted to show you guys what I'm really like: a silly, crazy person.

Well right now some fettuccine Alfredo is calling my stomach's name. So I'm off to indulge.

xoxo,

Black & White

Thrifted silk shirt, H&M skirt, Charlotte Russe belt, vintage Ferragamo flats, American Apparel hair-bow, Icing sunglasses and bracelet, and vintage skeleton key.

Ever since I picked up this silk shirt for $1.50 last summer it's been a staple in my closet. Whenever I don't know what to wear I find myself reaching for it. It can be styled a million different ways and feels luxurious. For the first time this year I could wear it without a coat!

I'm loving the warmer weather it's great for bare legs.

Also, I'm loving this hair bow I got when I was in NYC, we don't have American Apparel where I live so I was excited. I wanted to buy the whole store!

Is there a store where you live that you wish you had?

Details

Thrifted crochet top, Vintage Levi's shorts, Kathy Van Zeeland bag, Icing sunglasses, Charlotte Russe camisole, Target tights, and Aldo Mignogna wedges.

My boy and I spend most of our days on the weekend down in our little city. So when I realized I have never taken outfit photos downtown it perplexed me. So we snapped some on a little street corner on Saturday.

I picked up this crochet top for 3 dollars at Salvation Army and wasn't sure how I was going to make it work, but now I'm having visions of wearing it millions of different ways.

I'm so happy it's getting to be the weather where I can wear my jean shorts! They definitely are a warm weather staple.

I'm leaving you with a shot of my beautiful photographer!

Turn Back Time

Vintage wool skirt, vintage scarf, Forever 21 tee, JC Penney wool hat, and Metaphor pumps.

I've been experimenting with new things the past two weeks, especially hem lengths. When I spotted this beautiful pleated skirt at Salvation Army for 5 bucks, I felt like I found the holy grail of thrift finds. Even though it's long I decided to get it anyway and experiment, especially because it fit me perfectly. This outfit is the essence of what I want to transform my style into for Spring and Summer, 1940's and 50's inspired looks. I can't wait for nice weather!
