Pompons and Tulle skirts

Hello, 

Here I am blogging about my summer looks, as always leaving everything till the end. Although, I kind of like this idea. 

Okay, so have you ever rediscovered something from your closet you had forgotten about or thought you wouldn't wear again? I have! I had already placed this skirt for sale on my IG store and after two weeks nobody bought it. So I took another look at it and wondered how I can make it unique. That's when I remembered that I had some pompons and I sewed those suckers on. Pompons are not that difficult to sew in. Sadly, I didn't take pictures of the process. I wish I did! 

To buy a similar skirt click here, and the pompons can be found at your local crafts shop. You can also try different sizes or colors. Have fun! 

 

Dress Transformation

From this 

To this

Ahh, I'm still not sure but I feel that it is a bit short. I found this dress while thrift shopping and thought I could sell it. Once I brought it home and decided to try it on, bam!! I liked it. 

Sunday's Threads

Eyeglasses and Camouflage shirt F21, Vintage Dress, vintage belt, and vintage yellow heels all Thrifted

Hello all!
      Here is a funny story, I have been hunting for a strapless dress since the Fall of 2013. I even added it to my "Look For" list. Yes! I have a list I take with me when I thrift shop, mental list that is. It keeps me from buying things I don't need. So it wasn't until Saturday that I discovered this 80's vintage dress in my very own closet. I completely forgot about it since it was put away along with other summer pieces. I must have thrifted this dress about three summers ago.

     Initially, I have been wanting a strapless dress to style it with a white collar slouchy button up shirt. Once I found my dress, I started looking through my closet for the perfect white top to wear it with only to find out that I don't own that kind of top. Ha! All of my white blouses are vintage, with funky collars, eyelet details, and silly collar trims. So I wound up wearing it with my camouflage shirt from F21.

To get a better idea of a classy way to wear that strapless dress in your closet, take a look at some style Pinspiration:

Most of these are styled with a white collared shirt, but don't be afraid to add a little twist. You can wear a fun printed top, t-shirt, or a turtle neck sweater for the fall.

Top vintage thrifted, skirt F21, Heels Amazon,

With summer around the corner, I decided to take a risk and get a pair of white heels. Why a risk? Because white shoes don't stay white for too long. Eventually after a few wears they get dirty. They are not my first pair of white shoes, but these by far are my favorite! 

Enjoy your weekend!

Well, have I gotten lazy with blogging... Can you believe this weekend we will enter into the month of March??!!

A few weeks have passed by since my last post. I have been busy trying to finish up school. I'm still nervous because I haven't received a letter from the university confirming my graduation day. My advisor said everything looks good so I'm hopeful coming this May I will graduate. 

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, it's been a long road.

Sunday's Best

Dress: Vintage Neiman Marcus, Vintage Belt: thrifted, shoes: thrifted, Vintage purse: thrifted, Eyeglasses c/o of bonlook 

Hello! 

 

With all the snow and below zero weather we are having in Chicago, not only were my classes canceled but also my church's Sunday service. I didn't let that stop me from wearing this dreamy vintage dress on Sunday. We spent most of the day watching tv and I was able to catch up on some orders from my shop. 

The funny thing is that when I realized that my winter break would only last 3 weeks I kind of dreaded going back to school, but now after spending so much time stuck at home I'm anxious to go any where! 

Stay warm and toasty...

New Year Resolutions

New Year's Eve Outfit

Blouse: Ebay, Vintage Belt: Thrifted, Vintage skirt: Thrifted, Petticoat: Ebay,

Glittered heels: Thrifted 

Hello,

 

Enjoying the new year so far? I know I am! I spent all night cleaning out my closet. As I was cleaning I was contemplating on whether or not I should share my new year's resolution on the blog. Since last year's were quite successful, I think sharing them this year will help me be even more successful.

So here they go: 

1. Thrift Shop Less: I must have gone thrift shopping almost three times a week er every other week this passed year. Sure most of the times I would walk out empty handed and I always tried to have a budget.This year, I would like to go maybe once every other week. My goal is to appreciate and make the most out of what I already have. 

 

2. Read More Books: My goal is to read one book a month.

3. Stay Organized: This means no more piling magazines in random corners of the apartment/house. I need to take care of anything that will pile up if I don't right away. 

4. Eat/Live Healthier: It hasn't been easy but I have finally cut off drinking sweet drinks on regular days. I need to drink more water, eat less junk food at school, learn new recipes, eat out less, cook more, make wiser decisions when eating out, stop having seconds, and set exercise regiments.

5. Lose 40lbs: That is how much I gained when I got married. Talking about weight loss is not easy, but there are tons of reasons for me to lose the weight specially after my health scare last year.

6.Use Savings Account: I never learned how to save money, crazy! This is the year. 

7. Send More Greeting Cards: I always thought about mailing cards to different people last year, but I didn't do it.

8. Hangout More: This means spending more time with my family and friends.

9. Spent Less, Give More: This not only relates with how I manage my money, but also with how I manage my time. I want to volunteer more. 

10. Spiritual Growth: I want to continue to grow in my faith through prayer and reading the Bible.

Do you have any tips for me? Please do tell. What are your resolutions for this new year?

God willing, I look forward to looking back at this in the upcoming year.

New Year's Eve Outfit!

Hello all!

It's been a while since my last post. One of the reasons I haven't blogged is that I have been thinking a lot about changing my perspective on blogging. Well I don't want to talk much about that yet. 

New Year's Eve is around the corner and who doesn't love to receive the new year with style?! 

I'm still not sure what I will wear for our New Years church service. Having in mind what I have in my closet, I searched pinterest for outfit inspiration. 

The Fringe Dress 

Mine is black but I think it would be perfect with some silver accessories. 

Sequins 

I have all three similar styles. Sequins have been or become a traditional pick for NYE dress code. 

Tulle Skirt

Lace 

Full Skirt 

I think I'm leaning more towards a full skirt with a simple chic blouse.

Find these looks and more on my Pinterest board.
