BEADED

WHEN IT GETS THIS HOT, MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE AIR CONDITIONING! OF COURSE ITS DEFINITELY NECESSARY, BUT SOME PLACES ARE SO COLD THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO COVER UP. I USUALLY GRAB THIS TRENCH BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT GOES WITH EVERYTHING. HOWEVER, I ADORE HOT WEATHER AND WILL REFRAIN FROM ANY MORE COMPLAINTS! ENJOY THE WEEK!

MEMORIAL

THESE PATRIZIA PEPE SHOES ARE MY FAVORITE NEW PURCHASE FROM DAFFYS. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

MEMORIES

I PURCHASED THIS DRESS IN 2003 AT MY FAVORITE THRIFT STORE. WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT TOGETHER. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE NYC WEATHER HAS BEEN PERFECTION. HERE'S TO HOPING IT LASTS! HAPPY HUMP DAY!

UPSIDE DOWN

THE NAME OF THE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED THIS DRESS COMPLETELY ESCAPES ME. THE SHOES TOO. BUT I DO REMEMBER IT WAS IN THE BOROUGH OF KINGS. THE CLUTCH AND CUFF ARE VINTAGE. HAPPY MONDAY!

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

WHEN THE RAIN FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK THE OTHER NIGHT, I PUT TOGETHER A QUICK OUTFIT AND WENT FOR A BITE (AND DRINKS) THE LAST PICTURE WAS SNAPPED AT THE END OF THE NIGHT AFTER I HAD TOO MUCH WINE! ENJOY THE REST OF THE WEEK!

RANDOM

SOME OF THE OUTFIT PHOTOS THAT NEVER MADE IT ONTO THE BLOG. THE MAJORITY OF THESE ARE EITHER VINTAGE OR THRIFTED. I RECENTLY PICKED UP SOME THRIFTED PIECES THAT I HAD ALTERED AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE THEM. IT HAS BEEN RAINING SPORADICALLY IN NYC SO IT IS VERY HARD TO SHOOT. HOPE EVERYONE IS ENJOYING THEIR WEEK! LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!

GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE

GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE
YOU OLD GLOOMY SIGHT
GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE
THOUGHT WE SAID GOODBYE LAST NIGHT
I TURNED AND TOSSED 'TIL IT SEEMED YOU HAD GONE

BUT HERE YOU ARE WITH THE DAWN
WISH I'D FORGET YOU, BUT YOU'RE HERE TO STAY

IT SEEMS I MET YOU WHEN MY LOVE WENT AWAY
NOW EVERY DAY I START BY SAYING TO YOU
GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE, WHAT'S NEW?


BILLIE HOLIDAY

TRUE STORY

THE NEED TO STYLE THESE LACE LEGGINGS APPROPRIATELY HAS BEEN AN ALL CONSUMING PASTIME. DAYDREAMS OF VARIOUS PRINTS AND JEWEL TONES SEEM RIGHT, BUT BECOME HORRIBLY WRONG ONCE WARDROBE PLAYTIME ARRIVES. SINCE I TEND TO UNWIND BY TRYING ON CLOTHES, THE COMBINATIONS HAVE BEEN QUITE VARIED. HOWEVER, THE ELUSIVE PARTNER TO THESE LEGGINGS HAVE YET TO BE FOUND. UNTIL THEN, I DECIDED TO WEAR THEM WITH A THRIFTED JACKET VEST WORN BACKWARDS AND A THRIFTED MENS BELT.

CHANEL FOR MY WOMEN FRIEND

MY ENTIRE OUTFIT IS THRIFTED AND SEVERAL YEARS APART. I PURCHASED THE CHANEL BAG FOR $4 BACK IN 2002. RECENTLY, BUDGETARY CONCERNS AND LACK OF CLOSET SPACE HAVE INDUCED ME TO IMPOSE A BAN ON MY SHOPPING ADVENTURES. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
