THINGS FALL APART

SOMETIMES THE EASIEST THING TO DO IS TO WEAR A BLACK UNIFORM. I LOVE COLOR AND PRINTS, BUT IF I DON'T HAVE "THE RIGHT SHOES", I TEND NOT TO WEAR THEM. DURING YET ANOTHER THRIFTING ADVENTURE, I FOUND THIS GREAT BEADED CLUTCH. EVEN THOUGH IT'S FALLING APART, IT HAS BEEN WELCOMED INTO MY WARDROBE REPERTOIRE.

ERRATIC WEATHER

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE LOVELY VISITORS WHO HAVE LEFT COMMENTS ON THE BLOG. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE LOVELY WORDS :)! IT FEELS NICE TO RECEIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR SOMETHING AS MUNDANE AS GETTING DRESSED. I CONTINUE TO FIND WONDERFUL FINDS AT ALL THE THRIFT STORES THAT I HAVE BEEN FREQUENTING. HOWEVER, THE WEATHER IN NYC IS TOO ERRATIC FOR PROPER PHOTOS. HOPEFULLY, MARCH BRINGS MUCH WARMER WEATHER THAT LASTS.

VESTED

VALENTINES DAY INSPIRED A MELANGE OF DIFFERENT HUES OF RED. EVERYTHING IS THRIFTED, EXCEPT THE NECKLACE ( I MADE IT FROM A BROKEN PURSE STRAP) AND BOOTS. HOPE EVERYONE HAD A NICE VALENTINES DAY! :)))

SILKY ELEMENTS

TIMELESSLY TAILORED MENSWEAR GAVE INSPIRATION TO THIS OUTFIT, ULTIMATELY SMOOTHED OUT BY TOWERING, ARCHITECTURALLY HIGH ANKLE BOOTS AND SILK PANTS. I FOUND THE VINTAGE SILK CHRISTIAN DIOR TIE AT A THRIFTING TREASURE HUNT!

Daydreams of Summer

THE SNOW IS MELTING. THAT DIVINELY TAILORED, MINIMALIST RETRO RAINCOAT I FOUND AT THE THRIFT STORE IS IN ORDER. THE LACE TURTLENECK TOP IS A FIND FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET CATALOG FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I CRAVE SHEER FLOWERS AND LONG, CURVY DRESSES. OH, SUMMER, WHERE ART THOU?
