Orange and Black

Halloween came early this year…

Slightly Obsessed...

I'll admit, I have a slight obsession with other people's glasses. If I see a stylish pair, I just HAVE to try them on. Of course, when I get older and actually need them, I won't want to wear them.

Fringe Benefits

I originally bought this scarf because of its size and its amazing color and fringe. Then I realized this is A LOT of scarf. I'm "fun-sized" and it literally was just too much for my small frame. I didn't want to get rid of it, so I found a new way to incorporate it into my wardrobe.

Crop top

An all black look is anything but basic with a crop top, satin trousers, and a vintage brooch.

Friends, with vintage

I follow some pretty amazing vintage-lovers on Instagram and wanted to feature them on my blog. I asked them to tag a fellow vintage-lover and I got some GREAT photo submissions. I'd like to share my top four with you. They truly are friends…with vintage, naturally. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos (I'll do this again, so keep those pics coming)! Enjoy!

Navy flares

I've really been into hats lately. No, SERIOUSLY into them. Probably because of the single digit temps in Atlanta and having no hair. I've come to love them as only my mom (the "hat lady") would (as seen here, here, and here). I'm loving this monochromatic navy look…with just a pop of color. 

Sweater: J. Crew (thrifted) (similar style here), Pants: The Limited (old, but similar here), Hat: Gifted from mom, Necklace: Old, from my collection (similar here as a watch), Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Ring: Vintage, Club Monaco flagship store, Lips: MAC "Ruby Woo."

Remix

After some major alterations, this floor-length dress was made into a high-waist skirt. Tailored just right for the perfect fit, in my favorite color. My very own style remix.

Original dress. A consignment store find. 

After some MAJOR tailoring, my new high-waist skirt. 

Bugle bead detailing.

Skirt (consignment store find), Top (American Apparel, also seen here), Shoes (Nine West), Watch (Michael Kors), Brooch (vintage)

Easy breezy

I usually like to play around with proportions, full on the bottom, fitted on top (or the other way around).  But this roomy look just works. Plus, it's super comfy.
