I love old clothes. I guess it comes with the thrifting territory. I'm usually wearing vintage in every outfit I put together. Because I don't want to look like I'm wearing a costume, my retro looks are never all from one decade.
Thrift + Style: Sheer Maxi Dress
Last year, I found a Target maxi dress at Salvation Army for $1.75. I have a fat arm issue and a sun allergy so I rarely expose my full arm in summer. The price was right and so was the purple and pink color combination. It was also new but the included slip was missing. I wore the dress last year…
Goodwill Thrift Haul: Coach and Balmain + Giveaway
I had another great thrift haul at Goodwill. My $5 birthday gift arrived and I ventured out to a location I hadn't been to since last year. Remember the jumpsuit turned romper ? SN: This was probably the beginning of many photo bombs from Ms. Violet.
My haul this year was small but mighty. I l…
Photography For Bloggers Who Don't Have DSLR Cameras: Editing
Since I'm not a photographer and I don't have a DSLR camera, I rely heavily on editing programs to make my pictures look their absolute best. I use lighting tricks but sometimes the photos need a few more touches.
Photography For Bloggers Who Don't Have DSLR Cameras: Lighting
Having nice photos is pretty key for fashion bloggers. Since I'm not blessed with a DSLR camera, I make due with a point & shoot and sometimes the camera on my android.
Before I start sharing my tricks, let me say, I am not an photographer and I don't always get the perfect shot. If you…
Thrift + Style: White Shorts
White shorts are complicated. They are not my friend. Yellow pants , pink skirts , and other brights are more my style. Way too much drama with white. I have very few all white clothing and you will never see me at a white party dressed in all white.
I bought a $3 pair of white shorts from the thri…

Even when I'm not thrifting, it's always on my brain. I read a bunch of thrift blogs, I google thrift related news and I have my own completely random thrift stories to share. Now I give it all to you. Enjoy! 1.
I found a pair of vintage disco ball earrings at an estate sale. I couldn't …
Original Jeans Hem Tutorial
Altering a jeans hem length and keeping the original hem intact is really fast and easy to do. It's one of those projects you can knock out in 10 mins or less. I learned how to do it when I first learned to sew since most of my pants are too long.
My legs are shorter than the average, I suppo…
Thrift + Style: The Pencil Skirt
Raise your hand if you have a pencil skirt in your closet? Just like I thought. We all do! Whether thrifted or bought brand new, it's always in style. I haven't really checked for one since I left the workplace because I didn't think they would be functional for my lifestyle. I redisco…
Pretty and Preppy in Oxfords
I like to mix and mingle with different styles. Even before the days of thrifting, I considered my style pretty eclectic and hodge podge. It's the fashion fickle in me, I guess. Oxfords appeal to my miniscule preppy side. They have always been my thing.
Delicious Smoothies with Berries from Mariano's
As part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®, I made delicious smoothies using berries from Mariano's . It's rummage sale season and V and I have to be up and out of the house pretty early to get first look at the merch. As V is not always into that eating jazz and I'm still functi…
