Seeing spots

I stalked this dress at a vintage store for five months. It was floor-length and I had it shortened.  It's kind of amazing.

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.
