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. 

 Dress: Banana Republic (old, but similar style here), Scarf: Anne Taylor (old), Belt: vintage, snakeskin, Sunnies: thrifted, Ring: (vintage) Club Monaco flagship store, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet: Stella & Dot

Turban

I'm becoming quite creative at disguising the need for a haircut…

From My Collection...

With all this crazy weather we've been having, shooting for my blog has been "limited." I thought I'd share a few of my favorite (vintage) things with you to give you an inside look at my personal style (which changes almost daily). Back to my regular shooting this weekend!

Vintage brooches and clip earrings. Bracelet and earrings set last seen here. 

The loveliest mirror compact given to me for my birthday.

A statement vintage cuff bought at an antique market. Love it here.

THE BEST high-waist pencil skirt restyled from a vintage floor-length gown.

My favorite 1950s party dress. 

Horsing around...

I love this horse sweatshirt. It gets dressed up with a full skirt or dressed down with denim, oxblood heels, and a chunky knit infinity scarf.

Sweatshirt: Urban Outfitters (past season), Denim: American Eagle, Infinity Scarf: GAP (past season, similar here), Shoes: Audrey Brooke (similar here), Earrings: Banana Republic (similar here in gold), Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelets: Stella & Dot, Forever 21, Jonathan Buckhead, Ring: (vintage) Club Monaco. 

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...)

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).
