growing the hair out can be SO ANNOYING! I’m a person who LOVES change, and to have made the decisions to a)grow out my hair and b) keep it to my natural color (no hair dye involved) has been toturous, not to mention boring! I’m dying to do something drastic, maybe instead I’ll just get a tattoo. I’ve been thinking about it a lot! I’ll share some ideas and inspiration soonish!

love,

curls!

In this outfit, I am wearing one of my favorite scarves, thriftes, along w/ my favorite flannel, thrited and a jean vest also thrifted. The belt worn at my waist is my favorite black braided belt (an outfit must for me), which is thrifted (shocker!) The striped tank is from H&M forever ago, the leggings from Walmart and the boots DSW. The bag is a new addition to my thrifred canvas bag collection and it’s my new favorite!

That’s all for me tonight, hope your weekend is magical!

So comfy (I’m not a big fan of jeans, I just hate to be uncomfy) and stylin’… I love to pair them with a big sweater. In this outfit, it wasn’t cold enough outside to wear a big sweater, so I wore a thin one that was long enough to cover my tush. I do not like to show my butt off in leggings, I gotta have a top covering it :)

this blazer was picked up at a thrift store near my little sister’s house one saturday morning while thrifting. She wants to be a little Asain school girl for Halloween so we were looking for a uniform jacket for her, and I found one too! I love this blazer, it was a little too warm out when I wore this, but the weather is here and I will be sporting this baby again.

The brooch is my mother’s, just another piece to her amazing jewelry collection that I inherited (well most of it anyways, I do have 3 other sisters that I have to share with).

These earrings were a fabulous find on one of my regular thrifting visits. They were $1.50!!! Such a great find for soooo cheap!

Will be back soon with more posts, oh how I love to blog…I’ve missed it!

Until next time loves!

But good news, FALL IS HEEEEEERE!!! I’m a girl that loves her 4 seasons. It gives me a chance to mix things up, which I’ve realized is key to my sanity :) For me, today was one of the first days that really really felt like fall, YAY for long sleeves, layers, and scarves!

This top is thrifted from last winter, it’s so comfy! It’s actually Argyle brand and so soft! I fell in love with the florals on it, the deep colors and realistic look of them, I think it’s just beautiful.

The scarf is actually my aunt’s (keeping my fingers crossed that she doesn’t read this and ask for it back!) I believe it is from South America, not quite sure where though. It’s so unique, and the colors are the epitome of fall. LOVE IT!

MUSICA

now for the music portion of my post.

I have discovered the new album collaboration of Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson called Break Up. I didn’t think I would ever say this but Scarlett Johansson isn’t half bad at singing! She’s no Zooey Deschanel, who is my all time favorite and I will blog about soon, but she passes the test. Her voice is soothing and simple and collaborating with the amazing Pete Yorn was a fabulous idea! All in all it’s a good album and is great to sing along with!

Hope you have a wonderful night and I will be back soon with more outfit posts!

I will now light a candle, curl up and bed, and finish watching the movie Mexico with Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. Great movie!

The boots are a recent purchase that I have been wanting for SO LONG! I made it a point that for the fall I would have a pair just like these, and i’m so happy to have finally gotten them! They’re just so versatile, can’t wait to keep sportin’ these all autumn and winter long :)

dressnboots1

The bag is vintage and it belonged to my mother. I want to say it’s from another country (i’m leaning towards Peru) but I’m not entirely sure. I’ll have to check up on that and let you know! I’m wearing another belt from my ridiculous collection, it is thrifted ( I believe that all the best belts are!) and so elegant, I love it.

Well that’s all for today! Rain is supposedly in the forecast, and if that’s the case, then put on some cute rainboots and go singing in the rain! It’s a lot of fun :)

I figured I would brighten up somebody’s day, if not just my own, with my bright orange pants (I refuse to call them ‘capris’ merely for the fact that I don’t like that word, so ‘pants’ it is!). They were an accidental find at my favorite thrift store one day while shopping with my once upon a time roomie Natalie (whom I miss oh so much). We were about to leave and it was CRAZY crowded because it was a sale day, when I spotted them two aisles away. It’s like it was meant to be! I didn’t even try them on, I just snagged them and hit up the register, and look how they fit!! Like a glove :)

The shirt is a find from a Texas thrift shop last summer. I got lots and lots of great short sleeve button downs like this one, all different patterns. It made me so giddy. And it works great with these capris for the 50s vibe of high waisted pants and rolled up shirts. Except you won’t ever catch me showin’ off the midrift, unless we’re at the pool. Gotta keep it tan anyway. HA!

orangepantsgnl2

On a side note, let me just tell you! My hair had a mind of it’s own today. That little buger of a curl (to the left of the center of my forehead) was hangin’ down all by its lonesome all day! Would not do what I wanted it to. So I just said forget it and hoped that It would just add character. Or channel a 50s Grease vibe and I could join the T-Birds, sah-weet!

Anywho….right now listening to Wolf Parade’s Lousy Pictures song.

They’re a fun band to rock out to, if you ever feel the need. I know I do, quite often lately :)

oooo I’m getting oh so sleepy.

Another day at work and hang out time with Polish! We might do something a little crazy… and if we do, we’ll be sure to blog about it!!!

Have a blessed night!

The ring is another one of my mother’s fabulous treasures. Its got a victorian aged woman carved in amber set on a black stone.  I think the embellishment around the stone is divine! The earrings are from Forever 21, one of my favorite places to shop for accessories, and the aviators and sandals are a thrift find.

Im in the middle of watching Sister Act 2…ever seen it??? It was my favorite growing up! I’m going to get back to watching; have a blessed evening and happy Labor Day Weekend!
