Photo Shoot

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!! We sure did! But, as always, it went by way too fast and today its back to reality...

I did a photo shoot a few months back for the Bakers Shoes fashion website, Shoeternity.com. Just got the pictures and thought I'd share a few. All of the outfits are from my closet, which of course means a majority of the pieces are either vintage or thrifted.

I'll be back later this week with more daily outfit posts.

Flannel

Snapped a quick pic tonight kind of as an afterthought.  I didn't really pay much attention when I got ready this morning, just grabbed comfy and warm pieces...but I walked by the full length mirror at the store just now and decided it was post-worthy.  Nothing special, just a typical Laney winter outfit....although I did just realize I accessorized with mannequin clips still attached to my vest. Ha! The clips are what I use to fit clothing to the mannequins and I've been busy dressing them today and totally forgot they were still clipped to me! Typical.

Leggings, my trusty vintage boots, Target vest and socks, vintage flannel and jewelry.

Total cost of outfit: about $60

I can't believe its already the week of Christmas!  I don't know where December went...it must be with November somewhere because they both got away from me!  Cramming all my Christmas preperation into this week, nothing like waiting to the last minute!

I might be cutting it a little close, but its still a wonderful and blessed time of year!  I love Christmas :-)

Happy happy holidays!

Warmth and Coziness

Working on some projects here at the shop, so just a quick post today!

Its freezing outside so all I want to wear is layers that provide warmth and coziness :-)

Boots, legwarmers and a poncho.....

Its a poncho kind of day! Love this crazy tacky 1970s poncho!  I've had it in my closet for awhile but had yet to rock it...looks like today is the day!  Mom and I are hanging holiday decorations and doing some work around the shop today so I had do be comfortable.  This outfit is classic Laney....leggings + legwarmers + vintage boots + stocking cap = all of my favorite comfy everyday pieces.

Steppin' Up

Ok, so I totally have to geek out for a moment and apologize for it in advance...

I loooove dancing movies like the girly dork that I am.  I was cleaning my room last night and came across a pair of black legwarmers I had completely forgotten about.  I was instantly determined to wear them today and wanted to go with a "dancer" vibe. I texted Kevin and asked for his thoughts on how to rock the look. Now, let me go back a few years....

Step Up came out while Jenna and I were living together and around the time we first met Kevin.  What a fun time in my life that was!  Anyway, I of course bought it as soon as it came out on dvd and proceeded to make Jenna watch it with me like 100 times.  The more I watched it, the more I fell in love with all of Nora's outfits.  Tights, leggings, legwarmers, bodysuits, flowy skirts, soft sweaters, layers, boots, scarves....swoon. I remember the first day I decided I wanted to dress like her, I told Kevin that day at work, went home put together a dancer-esque outfit with pieces I already owned. I wore black leggings, black round toe platform pumps, a flowy white babydoll dress with a soft cardigan over it and a long scarf wrapped around my neck.  I remember walking into work and Kevin laughing and clapping because I really did come to work dressed like dancer :-)  It wasn't as cool as Nora, but I did the best with what I had. Sorry for the history lesson but just had to share where and when my love for this all begin...

This morning I decided I needed to set the mood for the day, so I popped in Step Up while folding laundry.  It did the trick! (Plus, it never hurts to start your day off with a little Channing Tatum...hottie!)
Wearing gray pumps, black legwarmers, vintage skirt, old tank and cardigan, H&M infinity scarf and vintage jewelry.

Happy Happy Friday!

Caped

Hi Everyone!  Sorry for the lack in posts lately, I kind of took a little holiday/birthday break from blogging.  But I'm back and showing off my fabulous thrifted navy cape I just purchased over the weekend!  Jenna and I celebrated my birthday a day early and spent Sunday eating brunch, drinking mimosas, thrift shopping, and just having some quality best friend sista time...and it was such a great day!

My man and I both took off Monday (my 28th birthday!!) and enjoyed a lazy day around the house, then met my parents to see Morning Glory, followed by dinner at Zia's.  It is my all-time favorite Italian restaurant here in St. Louis.  If you ever get a chance to go, be sure to order the Baked Ravioli, its my favorite! 

Wearing thrifted cape, old F21 leggings and tunic, and vintage belt and jewelry.

Total cost of outfit: about $60

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!  I'm so excited the holiday season is upon us!
