Hi Friends!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

what:

Top, Target

Trousers, Vintage, thrifted

Belt, Thrifted

Shoes, Vintage, thrifted

Earrings, Made by me

Clutch, Vintage Eel Skin

why:

After a long night of taking care of a sick puppy and a boring day of watching him sleep and recover, Nate and I needed to get out. We had dinner, saw a movie, and met up with friends for a drink. I am loving the high waisted, pleated trousers lately. Something comfortable that is easy to throw a sweater over in a cold theater is perfect in my mind!

the scoop:

I have been thrifting up a storm recently! I love it when I find a pair of pants just like the ones I almost bought at Nordstroms for $5.99! It feels good to know that I am buying something that's "recycled." I have also decided that it is high time I started making some of my own jewelry. I am hoping to learn more of the basics ASAP.

Happy Monday!

What to do with this scarf?

Hi Friends!

What a beautiful day we had today! Sunny, warm, kids could play outside, so no crazy behavior! 

 I had on a sweater, and this scarf looked super cute with it. Then the thermometer crept up, the sweater got stuffed in my purse, and the scarf looked lame. I still couldn't resist putting it in these photos. It is so pretty and perfectly spring-y. I realized, with the exception of the necklace and scarf, everything is thrifted. I think this outfit cost Shoes (5.99) + Top (3.99) + Skirt (5.99) + sales tax = approx 18.00! Wow I should calculate my outfit totals more often! The lining of this skirt shows a bit, but it is dark, and I kind of like it.
