I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve had this thrifted dress sitting in my closet for well over a year, waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it. But right now everything about it feels so perfect–the cobalt color and the mid-length are both very hot right now–that I decided I don’t need an occasion. Plus […]
DIY Sequin Collar
The month leading up to Halloween is both the best and the worst of times when it comes to thrifting. The best, because thrift stores put out vintage stuff that they’ve been holding back for the rest of the year, but the worst because they tend to jack up the prices and the thrift stores […]
Imaginary Outfit
Here’s the imaginary outfit I would buy if I got to go on an imaginary shopping spree. Except that I probably wouldn’t actually buy that belt, because even on sale, that’s a ridiculous price for a belt. I’m not about to spend that much even for pretend. Those shoes are another story, though, and the […]
Pink Patent
The other day I saw these shoes (via Creatures of Comfort) and started thinking about what a perfectly wonderful and reasonable addition to my closet patent pink brogues would be. They’d really be quite versatile, don’t you think? You could wear them with pants and go for a simple, almost preppy look… 1. McQ Cropped […]
The Great Outdoors

The problem is that I have no dedicated photographer, and I’m shy about setting up a tripod outdoors to photograph myself with other people around. If I had a yard it would be perfect, but alas, I […]
Friends
This weekend Steven and I decided to go sit in a nearby park and read. I wore my newly-studded shoes to make sure I had installed the studs properly so that they didn’t poke my feet (they were fine). I also wore a vintage dress I bought in Portland. It needed some small repairs, including […]
Spotty Coverage
I usually don’t bother to include my purse in my outfit post, because it’s often the same one, but this time I got more creative. Though I have a pile of vintage purses, moving my stuff from one purse to another is usually too much trouble. I literally stumbled across this one, though, and it […]
Out of Season
I know this looks like an appropriate outfit for early fall, but it’s from just last week, when it got unseasonably cold here. Like in the 40s. Everyone’s been saying that this winter was especially bad in New England, and that this spring hasn’t been very nice, either, but it finally seems to be warming […]
