I went on a thrifting binge on Saturday and I stocked up on scarves to wear around my neck. This is one of my new ones. These photos are from Sunday... I was so excited to watch the Mad Men series finale and I think I was channeling Peggy when I was getting dressed. The old fashioned's pictured above were also in celebration for the finale.
I had so much fun shooting these the other week in Atlanta. It was so much fun exploring parts of the city that I had never been to! A special thank you to Alexa (pictured above) and to Dawn for taking these photos.
All of my clothes are Free People
Dress (For Love and Lemons through FP) available here
How cool is this bag? I usually stick to neutrals with my clothes but I love to have a pop of something in my accessories. This bag is perfect for that.
One of my favorite items to get at a thrift store is 100% silk blouses. I don't think I ever leave a thrift store without one. I found this one a few weeks ago and I love it. Everything I'm wearing is vintage except for my jeans and shoes.
Shoes are Acne Studios available here (major sale!)
I love wearing things in ways they were not made to be worn. This skirt is actually a poncho. I love it as a poncho as well and belted as a dress. I made another one of my Free People ponchos into a skirt and I wanted try again. I love the way that it flows. Try something new. Creativity is a muscle.
I love the way that these pants pick up shadows. The color is perfect as well. These were bought as a part of my no more 'relying on your black skinny jeans for everything' plan.
I realized that I have been in a style rut. I have a closet full of clothes I don't wear, tons of accessories waiting to be worn, shoes I forgot I had... And I've decided to do something about it. Sometimes it is best to go shopping in your own closet to challenge your creativity. When I was putting this outfit together I needed something comfortable and for the strange in-between season weather. This light cardigan + my trusty blazer ended up being just right.
I found these vintage boots hanging out in the back of my closet a few weeks ago! I bought them about 5 years ago when I was obsessed with the 1960s & 1970s(still am). I love that the train happened to go by when we were taking these today.
My dress is from Zara.
I'm wearing a sweater from Urban Outfitters, Free People Sunglasses & Jeans, and Acne Studios heels.
Today I'm wearing a Free People blazer and top, Ralph Lauren leather pants, & Isabel Marant leather boots.
Enjoy the process. Enjoy the journey.
Recently I've been challenging myself to see my closet with fresh eyes. Too often I fell frustrated when I look in my closet. This skirt is a gem that I found... I purchased it at a vintage store in New Orleans a few years ago and I love it more now than when I first bought it. I love the contrast with my simple jersey t-shirt & heels. These Zara heels are some of my favorite shoes ever.
