Vintage Floral

Happy Sunday, Chica's! I'm on my way to church today and thought you guys would love to see the outfit I chose today after trying on everything in my closet :) I ended up choosing this vintage floral print dress that I thrifted several months ago and haven't worn. Today, is her debut :)

I paired the dress with my tan blazer (for church, but could easily be worn without it), my gold-tipped pumps, coral necklace and white leather purse. I also added an acrylic bangle in pure white (after I snapped the photo apparently).

What do you think of my look? :)

Sincerely,
A GeekChicChica

Fab February Find #18, #19, #20 & #21

Chica's, I've been shopping up a storm online and at the mall... I have a slight addiction to shoes. Just a slight one lol I love all heel heights, most colors, and vintage-esque pumps like the champagne and gold tipped shoes I blogged about earlier today. I'm still swooning over those lovelies. Here are a few pair that I bought on PoshMark this week.


Jessica Simpson - "Fade to Black" Peep Toe Pumps

Suede Guess Pointy Toe Booties

Mesh & Leather Guess Peep Toe Pumps

Nine West Leather Cutout Wedges
I made out like a bandit purchasing the first three pair at 3/$25 on PM and the Nine West Wedges were part of another bundle where I got two pair of shoes for $20 (so they were $10). I did say that I had a slight shoe addiction right? Ok :)

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.

Sincerely,

Fab February Find #15, #16 and #17

Look what I found on POSHMARK!!! I think I'm a little addicted... no comment lol

This is the gold clutch I was blogging about in my last Fab February Find post... cute right?

I'm still waiting on these in the mail as I just ordered them last night :)

I am a sucker for chandelier earrings and these deep coral earring are to die for.

And these vintage-inspired earrings are my life right now. They are sooo... sexy! I can't wait to dress them up and down and all around.

Oh and did I mention? I got this entire bundle on PM for a whopping $10!!!! Yes, I am a bargain-deal-making diva :)

The Rack Party

Morn-ting Chica's (in my Madea voice) lol. I do apologize for not updating you with my fab finds for February. I've been having internet issues with my computer. Please forgive me, ladies... and gents if you're reading.

Well, I am delighted to tell you all that I'll be hosting the first Rack Party in April!


What's a Rack Party?
A Rack Party is an event I created and developed where you can shop my closet. There's vintage, there's brand-spanking new and everything in between. You will enjoy light refreshments while shopping in a cozy environment and networking with other like-minded, fashion-obsessed Chica's :) Other items available at the Rack Parties will include shoes, jewelry, handbags, accessories and even fragrances... all at affordable prices.

Can't make it? Don't worry. All of the items available will be listed at www.chicchica.weebly.com just before each event.

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???

Sincerely,
A GeekChicChica
