National Velvet Inspire Outfit

It's been a while since I've posted a casual outfit. Mainly because I'm a bit lazy when it comes to taking photos before I leave the house. I did however manage to snap this one. The look is inspired by the classic film "National Velvet" with young Elizabeth Taylor.
I'd admit the choice of shoes could have been better. I was in a bit of a hurry to get out the door that day. Hope ya'll enjoy!

 

 

Everything is either second hand or from Goodwill.

 

Thanks!

Silly Me! I Lost the Camera...

Yes, I did... Hope to find it soon so I can post to ya'll the photos of the previous coords.  However, I do have a photo of an outfit taken a couple weeks back.

Another Dolly-kei sort of look. Super comfy and layered.

Vintage coordinate & Super Cute Yorkie Pup!

I LOVE our family Yorkies! Cheerful, smart, and waaaay too distracted. These little dogs are charming.

 In the photos I'm holding our youngest of the bunch, Olivia (a.k.a. Olive). I've never met a puppy so happy and cuddly.

 

 This adorable vintage dress was purchased at Big Sandy's Goodwill for $9. There isn't much to see in that particular town. Stepping into their secondhand shops you could easily make the assumption that the population is mostly elderly. Which in the case of vintage shopping is perfect!

Catching Up Part 2 : Dolly Kei

Another photo shoot shot a while back. This has to be one of my favorites. Though, my hair was a bit of a mess. That day was super hot and muggy! It was supposed to be well into Winter. Oh, well... that's Texas weather for you.

 

The look was inspired by the fairytale character Red Ridding Hood. I'm really liking the dolly-kei style as of late. I hope to arrange more looks of this style. What do ya'll think? "Love" or "Not too fond of...", Let me know in the comments below.

Thrifted & Vintage Jewelry Collection

Quiet a bit I get asked, "How do you find such unique accessories?" My to go to places for jewelry are forever 21 and secondhand stores. Both are affordable and carry a wide variety of styles. My favorite of these two has to be secondhand stores! Where you most likely will have to do some digging, but they sell any where from new to very old.
I love the collection I've obtained over the years!
I love browsing through other ladies' collections! It's some silly girl thing I suppose. I like to admire and get inspiration for my own wardrobe.
With all this being said, I thought ya'll might like to view my vintage/thrifted collection. The best part of this collection is that most of these pieces didn't cost above $5!

Here are most of my favorite pieces!

  

(necklace on the left) My mom found this for me at the goodwill for $4!(on the right) Estate sale $4                

 

Also from the Goodwill $3. I adore this looking glass!

A gift from a former boss!

 

All of these were $5 and under. Where they came from... different second hand stores, garage sales, and Goodwill.

If you enjoyed this post and would like to see more like it,(my vintage hat collection, vests of skirts, forever 21 jewelry...) Comment below or on my face book and I'll make it the next post!
-Thanks
