Black Hat: Part One

I'm back!!! Sorry I've been such a blogging slacker friends. It's not easy juggling the beginning of a new school year with blogging, trunk shows, and a social life. I have GOT to do better with time management... Enough of that. Back to the blog!
Lately I've been obsessed with this black hat. I throw it on with just about everything (and it's PERFECT for growing out my hair, such a process)! I've decided to dedicate the next three posts to it. Enjoy!

Hat: BCBG, Denim Shirt: (vintage) Express, Scarf: Gap (past season), Skirt: Urban Outfitters (on sale here), Watch: Michael Kors, Ring: Stella & Dot, Bracelets: Stella & Dot, gifted, Lipstick: MAC (Ruby Woo, Russian Red).

Vintage baubles

Sorry friends, I've been MIA for a minute (I still have to get used to being back at school). Until I can get caught up on the blog, I'll tide you over with a few of my favorite vintage baubles... New outfit posts soon!

Earrings and brooch: "borrowed" from mom.

"Cuff" earrings: trunk show find. 

Earrings and bracelet: "borrowed" from mom. (Don't worry, she knows.)

Brooch: Antique market find. 

Necklace: consignment store find.

Necklace: another one from mom. (It always reminds me of her when I wear it...)

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.

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.

A little something extra...

This jacket is over the top and shows off a lot of leg...and I love it.

Friends with Vintage Trunk Show and Sale!

If you're in the Atlanta area and love vintage fashion and accessories, please join us for our trunk show on Saturday, August 3rd, 2013. We'd love to meet you friends!

Favorite silhouette

I love a full skirt paired with a fitted top, especially one with pockets. And a bold cherry lip is just the right finishing touch...

Details...

I'm an admitted accessories junkie.  I'll wear one or two (or more) bracelets with every outfit, even if I'm just running errands. I pile on my brooches like nobody's business (see proof here).  I like to keep my accessories out in the open. I figure if I see them, I'll wear them. I needed an inexpensive way to display my bracelets and this hand towel rack that one of my besties was about to toss in her move came in handy.  I've had some of these pieces for nearly twenty years.  One of my most versatile necklaces, which doubles as a scarf, is also displayed (a gift from another good friend).  My two favorite pictures are here too, so I can see them everyday when I wake up.  

Some of my favorite bracelets on display. (Stella and Dot, Forever 21, Target, vintage)

Beaded necklace (gifted from my bestie), personal pictures of my family and my Michael Kors watch.

My go-to accessories (MK watch, Stella and Dot bracelet, vintage ring). Oversize clutch (Gap, gifted from my 17-month old nephew).

My growing brooch and pin collection, vintage cuff, and hot pink feather clips (to add a pop of color to any outfit).

Brooch collection (vintage).

Feelin' blue

Easily one of my favorite summer dresses. I love the bright blue. Easy, effortless, and a standout in the crowd.
