Skirt Dress Revisited

So, I decided to actually wear this as a skirt :) With an airy, bright canary yellow v-neck sweater, I threw on a wide belt to give the skirt a high-waisted look. I paired it with my purple patent-leather open-toe wedges and a black Birkin-style handbag (that's for sale in my poshmark closet, fyi). I love how I felt in this outfit and will definitely be wearing it again.

Kelly Cognac Polka Dots

Morning Chica's! It's almost spring right? Well, it doesn't matter either way to me because I love bright colors. Today's outfit is the very essence of that. I can't wait for spring so I've already started :)

I paired my blue polka dot dress with a kelly green cardigan and chandelier necklace. I threw on my cognac boots for comfort, but also because they are a neutral shoe.

I am loving the result! What do you think?

Pretty In Pleats

Afternoon Chica's! I am super in love with this blue vintage a-line skirt I thrifted. I paired it with my black sheer top and gold accessories. The pleats and the length of the skirt made me feel almost like I was transported back into the Victorian era, but with a modern edge.

There's not much else to say except that I will definitely be wearing it a lot more with different tops. Check out the other outfit that I put together with this pleated skirt (below) for a lighter feel.

Fab February Find #23

I found this vintage bib necklace while thrifting. It's a cream and smokey blue color. I don't know what the material is, but the blue remind of me small pieces of slate, which give the necklace a very cool and rustic feel.

$0.99 Chica's!

Vintage 80s Skirt Dress

Chica's, this is my outfit from yesterday. I found this vintage skirt from the 80's... yes, I said skirt... at the thrift store, but it was way too long for my frame. The length made me look short, but I bought the skirt anyway, thinking "oh I'll just hem it to the length I want."

I got home and remembered that I lent my sewing machine to my mother... bad hit! So, as I'm standing in the mirror, trying on different things with the skirt. I pulled it all the way up to see what it would look like shorter.

It looked exactly like what I wanted and even had a hi-lo effect that you see on trendy dresses and skirts. Then it hit me!

Just wear it as a skirt dress! So I did :) I added a belt for some structure and to break up the print. I paired it with tights, boots and a cropped 3/4 sleeve cardigan.

Geek Chic Specs

I love geek specs. There are so many different shapes, colors and patterns that it's virtually impossible to not find a pair... or several pair that suit you. I like to have fun with them and a little secret... They make you feel smarter! Lol.

You can't be a geek chic chica unless you've snagged a pair of geek specs to accompany your outfits! I personally have three pair and looking for more shapes and colors.

The first pair (left) are vintage, thrifted of course...  I think they were $0.99. These are also reading glasses, which I needed anyway.

My second pair of geek specs I found on ebay for $3.96. They were the largest I could find without lenses.

And last but not least, the pair I wear the most :) There were formerly a cheap pair of sunglasses that I got at my cousins wedding (a treat in one of my daughter's goodie bags). I just popped out the dark lenses and put them on... haven't parted ways with them yet!

Which pair do you like???

Fab February Find #10 & #11

Chica's, I know I've been slacking on my daily Fab Finds. Life gets in the way of my blogiberty (blog+liberty = blogiberty) :) Here are a few new additions to my jewelry collection:

While out thrifting today, I stumbled upon a new thrift store near the mall called Chic2Chic. Everything in this store is under $5... EVERYTHING! All the items I got today were only $1 each!

Silver Tribal Cuff: Fab February Find #10

Earrings: Fab February Find #11

Fab February Find #5

Afternoon Chica's! It's cold here (South of Boston), expecting 1-2' of snow this weekend, but I'm just trying to stay warm and keep up with homework. I apologize for my late updates, but here is Fab February Find #5.

These vintage gold earrings have become a staple with my outfits. Whenever the outfit doesn't call for a necklace, these gold link earrings always come through; giving each look a bit of elegance.

I spotted these at a Salvation Army thrift store and had to add them to my collection of costume jewelry.  At $1.98, I'd say they're worth it!

THRIFTAHOLIC!

So, I've set out on a mission to commit to 28 days of thrifting every single day of February. Yes, I admit I have a slight addiction to thrifting and this may not be the best therapy, but who doesn't love finding fabulous clothing and accessories at dirt cheap prices?!?! LOL Check regularly to see my updates beginning Friday, February 1 at 2:28 AM!
