1920s Hat Box

Here are some thrifted hat finds along with a vintage hat box from the 1920s- a thrift find my Aunt Sandy found and gifted me. (I know this because there was a newspaper fragment in the bottom of the box that dated from the 20s). What a find!

Spanish Moss Favorites

A while back, (here) I shared about a fashion site I recently found and am obsessed with- Spanish Moss. As promised, here are some of my favorite looks. Totally not in my price range but total inspiration!

Outfit Snap: Day Off

Here's a casual outfit I wore recently for hangin around town... featuring a vintage pajama top I thrifted recently. Did I mention that I love wearing pajama pieces for outerwear??! (I've got some pj pants to debut soon!)

Outfit details:
Vintage pajama top- thrifted
Shorts- jeans stolen from husbands closet & cut into shorts
Hat- Nine West @ Belk
Flats- thrifted
Floral bike basket- DIY project- Walmart basket w/ Dollar Tree flowers attached using fishing wire

Reverse Refashion

This was a dress that I was so sick of... I almost gave it away then I decided to just turn it around backwards! This is something I've done before then forgot about, now I'm doing it all the time! If you have a dress (or top) that's either too low, too casual, or too blah then try flipping it around. You will get the beautiful higher neckline in the front and the dip in the back (so 30s!)

 

Outfit details:

Dress- Kristen Davis @ Belk (old)

Straw clutch- thrifted

Sunglasses- Urban Outfitters 

Wedges- Ralph Lauren @ Macys (gift from Therese)

30s on Jones

Here's one of my recent thrift finds that was so old lady but I loved it anyway and was seeing 1930s... so the husband and I were out the door and down the street to snap a few quick photos!

Outfit Details:
Skirt & blouse set- thrifted
Oxford shoes- Payless

Outfit Snaps

Quick outfit snap before work- wearing my thrifted dress I forgot about. It was one of those cheapy looking things that didn't look like much till I tried it on and buttoned the collar up all the way. Im seeing a little 30s inspiration here!

Empress of Fashion

I had a phone disaster yesterday (dropped in toliet!) and I had tons of photos that may be lost! So for now, here are some iphone shots that I found on my husbands phone.You may recognize the dress and shawl from other photos- this is another look I did for a friend's birthday dinner out at my favorite local Thai restaurant- Saigon! The only difference is the accessories and hair. I like that this look has a bit of a Roman empress feel to it. (I would have worn gold jeweled sandals if only I had them- still trying to find the perfect pair I can afford or may do a gold leaf DIY)!

Outfit Details:
Dress- gift from Therese @ Cherry Picked Consignments
Shawl- gift from Therese
Pearl & gold headband worn low- had forever
Earrings- gift from Therese
Beaded purse- borrowed from my mom
