Vintage Animal Print Jumpsuit
I don't blog often but when I do, you can bet it's to show off a fabulous thrift store jumpsuit. I only wore this yummy animal print once before it was quickly snatched up out of one of my online closets.
Vintage Denim Bib Overalls
I thought I was done with overalls after the black ASOS pair but these Liberty ones spoke to my vintage denim loving heart. I don't feel like I'm heading to Gymboree in this one. They have a close fit but it's not too tight. It shows off curves but in a casual and relaxed way.

How to Upsize A Shirt Dress
I bought a shirt dress on Poshmark that was exactly the style that I turn to in summer. It's long. It's cotton. It's easy to throw on. Plus, it has pockets. The measurements seemed about right in the description so I took a chance on it. The chest and back area turned out to be too ti…
Too Old for Bib Overalls
One of the great things about thrifting is that you can feel good about experimenting with styles and trends that you normally would not try. For me that is overalls. I love a jumpsuit but I've never owned a pair of bib overalls.
