Just a few quick things....

I have been having some pretty up and down luck with my vintage shopping these days. I'm having a hard time finding the items I need for projects at my day job. But I have been finding some pretty good personal items....

Both the purse and vest were only $5 a piece!!!!!! I almost passed out from excitement when I found them. As for the beautiful bracelets, one of my wonderful aunts gave them to me. May family has also been unloading vintage treasures on me which is surprising and amazing at the same time! I recently got two of my aunts 70's wedding dresses. They are both Gunne Sax dresses and have only been worn once! I will be posting pics of the dresses as soon as possible and may even end up selling one of them, we will have to see.....

I also got this cute little plant from a special friend that just sits in a bottle of water and looks cute. I put it on the window sill in my shower so my crazy cat can't get to it and eat it. My cat loves all vegetation for some weird reason..... XX Dolls!

~ Purse thrifted $5
~Vest thrifted $5
~ Bracelets were a gift

When Clouds Cover the Sky

I have the biggest weakness for long floral skirts. In fact this may have graduated to a full blow obsession. Every time I'm at the thrift store I go straight for the long skirts and pull at least 5 in the first 10 minutes!

This is just just one of the five beauties that I picked up on my last trip to the thrift. It buttons up the front and almost hits my ankles. I wore it to work today with a camisole I got from my Mother (I call her Meesa fyi) and my favorite cowboy boots that I have had for years. Now if only the sun would come out...

* Champagne camisole $0 from my Meesa
* Floral floor length skirt $5 from Value Village
* Cowboy boots $30 from Red Light Vintage (bought 7 years ago)

Brilliant Blues....

The sky yesterday was just a bright perfect blue it was close to unbelievable. It is June and here in Seattle we have still had less than 10 days total of nice weather. To celebrate this rare glimpse of the sun, I decide to spend some time baking/reading on the deck (while I still have one.) I also got to break out this beautiful blue tunic with silver accents. It's almost sheer with long slits up the side....

The best part of this tunic happens to be that fact that I got it for about 65 cents!!!!! I would never joke about a deal like this so don't worry, these are the facts. Hope you all are having a lovely weekend...

A 2nd job isn't all bad...

Yesterday my 2 pals and I did our first photo shoot for the new online vintage shop we are starting. We have already started an inspiration blog so people can start getting to know our personal styles. We are all very different, but you can check out our inspiration blog HERE. I will post a link to our site once we have it up and running. I'm so excited I have wanted this for years and to be doing it with such good pals, I couldn't be luckier.

If this is how a 2nd job is going to go, I'm sold :)
