crazy hectic

Sorry I've been so bad about posting outfits lately! Life has been crazy hectic...my man has been working nights which completely changes our entire home life and schedules, we've been super busy here at the shop (yay!), the weather has been 80 degrees one day and then subzero temps and snow storms the next, we just entered wedding season and have lots of friends getting married over the next few weekends, and on top of all that...we just adopted a second dog! You all have seen our little stinker, Micah, because she's snuck into more than a few pics posted here on the blog...well she now has a brother! Jackson, the cutest most awesome boxer pup ever! Needless to say, life's been a little crazy these days. Not that I'm complaining :)
Anway, moving on...
I picked Kev up last Wednesday night for another of our Ugly Betty slumber parties, but made him snap a quick pic of me in the alley behind his house first. I just HAD to show off my new purse! Jenna and I went shopping the night before and I snagged this bad boy from Aldo for my new purse of the season. It is so perfect; the colors, the print, the long strap to go across the body, the shorter braided strap to throw over your shoulder, and the fact that both straps are detachable so I can rock it as an oversized clutch. Swoon! Jenna picked herself up a great new purse from Aldo, as well. Not only did we both purchase fabulous new bags, but we also had entirely too much fun shopping and laughing together! Its just so good to have her back home in the STL!

Happy Monday, Kiddos!!

stripes, ponchos, and bells

I love random and unique vintage pieces, and this scarf poncho is the perfect example of such a piece. I orginally put on my super high waisted green pants in celebration of St. Patty's Day, but then couldn't find anything to pair them with. So, off came the pants and on went the poncho....which does have some green in it so no pinching!
We are enjoying a beautiful day here in St. Louis! It rained and snowed something nasty on Monday, so Mother Nature decided to throw us a bone today with sunny skies and temps climbing into the uppr 70s. I love seeing all of the people out and about enjoying the weather. Sunshine always brings out the best in people, as we've had tons of great customers today! So loving it.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy Friday! Happy Weekend!

unexpected

Went for some color to brighten up this rainy Thursday. I love unexpected color combinations, and have rocked the purple/green combo before...but never quite as loud as today. I added a little bit of leopard print and some bling to complete the craziness. Its bright, its bold, its fun!
Wearing vintage pants and blouse from tag*, F21 leopard strappy sandals, Target socks, and thrifted vintage belt. Topped the look off with some vintage necklaces and bracelets, also from tag*.

desperately longing....

I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Life at the store was super busy over the weekend (yay!), and then I wasn't feeling well earlier this week. But, my mom (being the awesome mom that she is!) worked the store for me yesterday so I could go home and get some much needed rest. And rest I did! What a pleasure it was to wake up this morning feeling rested and happy.
I've been dying to wear my long summer dresses again, so this morning I decided to put one on and layer it up for the chilly weather. While this will do for now, I'm still desperately longing for the days when I can shed the layers, trade the boots for sandals, and bask in the warmth of springtime... 
Wearing F21 maxi dress, thrifted denim western, vintage belt, bracelets and necklace from tag*, etsy feather earring and Payless boots. Threw on my vintage faux fur vest on the way out the door for additional warmth.
Total cost of outfit: about $35

sunshine daydream

Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees,
Going where the wind goes, Blooming like a red rose,
Now come on over sweetly,
Ride out singin', "I got you in the morning sunshine."
Sunshine, daydream, Now come on over daydream
Sunshine, daydream, Hey come on, Never gonna sweet dream
Sunshine, daydream, Wading in a cold stream.
-Grateful Dead

The weather here is gorgeous! Its been warming up over the past few days and today its sunny with temperatures in the 70s. Simply lovely! Decided I wanted to wear something colorful and comfortable. This little  vintage kimono dress is perfect. The material is lightweight and cool, the print is awesome, its roomy and has pockets! Went with a bare leg today and paired it with little Payless booties. (Definitely felt weird getting ready this morning and NOT putting on tights or leggings!)
Wearing vintage dress from tag*, Payless booties, F21 ring and Target earrings.

Can't believe another weekend is almost upon us!
I'm super excited because one of my favorite ladies ever is coming in town tomorrow and I can't wait to play!

wednesday

This crazy print shirtdress came in a huge lot of dresses we recently got in at the shop. The buttons were missing and the size was way too big for me but I loved the print and colors so I bought it anyway, knowing I would figure out a way to rock it. I decided the best way was to wear it open like a jacket.
Vintage shirtdress from tag* layered over Walmart leggings, and F21 tank. Topped off the look with F21 hat and jewelry, thrifted fur vest, and favorite slouch boots.
Total cost of outfit: about $120

cute little mini

A quick outfit post today so I can show off one of my new vintage dresses. We got a delivery of over 100 dresses here at the shop yesterday, and I ended up buying a few for myself. Loving the 60s print and cut to this cute little mini!

can't believe its already friday again...

I scored this fabulous vintage kimono robe at an estate sale this past summer. And wait for it....it cost 10 cents! It was dirty and needed some serious mending, but who cares?! I took it home, soaked it in some oxyclean, took a needle and thread to it, and it is now one of my favorite vintage pieces.
I love this outfit because its amazingly comfortable and laid back, yet still stylish and chic.
Wearing vintage kimono robe, Walmart leggings and hoops, old F21 tunic, vintage belt and jewelry from tag*, and fav slouch boots.
Total cost of outfit: about $85
I can't believe its already Friday again! I swear, the older I get the faster time just flies by. Lots of stuff to keep me busy here at the shop today and then heading home for a quiet Friday night on the couch with my man and our pup.

Just went for comfy cozy today. With lots to do inside the shop and freezing cold temperatures outside, nothing sounded better than a big chunky sweater.
