Vintage Thrift Haul
[[MORE]]
These are some of my recently thrifted, vintage finds.
The beaded skirt is by far my favorite find, and at just $4.99, it was a steal! It’s unique and beautiful, and fits like a glove.
The blood-orange maxi is a bit Cleopatra, while the silk, printed skirt reminds me of fine art.
A picture of the blue dress does it no justice- it’s fitted on top and flares out on...

My Sheer Romance
[[MORE]]
I’ve been wanting to try a sheer skirt for a while now, and I finally found one!
This definitely isn’t something I’d wear out and about, but to a fashion event? Maybe!
I love the fantasy aspect that comes with dressing out of the ordinary. In this particular runway-inspired ensemble, I felt a bit ballerina.

Casual Charm
[[MORE]]
I adore a classic blue jean dressed-up by the unexpected pairing of light and romantic, with heavy, mixed metal. This type of contrast takes a casual look to a whole other level.

I Heart Ikat
[[MORE]]
Although ethnic prints aren’t typically categorized as sophisticated classics, ikat has the ability to be transformed, which puts it in a category all its own.
It’s the type of print that down-plays a garment, while still elevating it to extreme, stylistic heights.

Beach Chic
[[MORE]]
I’m not typically a short-shorts wearing girl, but for a day at the beach in 90 degree heat, showing a little more skin is necessary.
To maintain a sense of modesty, I layer sheer swimsuit cover-ups over shorter hemlines- preferably like this embellished one found on a recent Miami trip.

Mustard Muse
[[MORE]]
This girly top is one of the best I’ve come across lately. The sheer fabric and tiered, flowy ruffles give it a dressy feel, along with the unexpected mustardy color, which adds a special quality all its own.

Modern Classic
[[MORE]]
The perfect shirtdress is hard to come by, let alone in lightweight denim. So when the people at BeBop Clothing were kind enough to send me this one, they asked me to put my own modern twist on this wardrobe classic.

Luck be a Lady
[[MORE]]
After thrifting at a local vintage shop over the weekend, I was inspired to try out a curve-accentuating silhouette. I felt like a proper 40’s lady, decked-out in a pleated, mid-calf skirt skirt, silky blouse and peep toe pumps. The highlight of my weekend? Finding this nude tone, patent leather LV bag at a consignment store for more than half the original price! Do you...

Power Suit
[[MORE]]
There are times when dressing-up is necessary, and important moments call for strategy in getting dressed. For business meetings where I know I’ll have to speak (therefore all eyes will be on me), I want to feel confident not only in my own skin, but in my clothes as well. This outfit is one that makes me feel equally confident and powerful. Could it be the boldness of an...

Slightly Sporty

I have a thing for orange and anything nautical, so this silky, off-the-shoulder top was an easy choice.
Paired with my recently thrifted, Prada cross-body bag, this look is a bit sportier than I’m used to, but I’m liking the change!
