fall finale

I've been trying to work this leaf and acorn print cotton top into my fall wardrobe rotation all season, but I just didn't know what to pair it with.

Finally I tried these vintage wool trousers (and yes, for some reason they are trousers and not pants).

Perfect.

scarf : vintage, estate sale
novelty print cotton blouse : vintage, estate sale
wool trousers : vintage, estate sale
shoes : steve madden, thrifted

It's not officially winter yet.

I managed to squeak it in.

Barely.

 

I love, love, love vintage novelty prints.           The perfect high waist wool trousers.

brown and gray

Hello, again.

Here's an experiment in brown and gray. I was inspired by the 50s dress I wore the other day.

I like how it turned out.

Now that I'm feeling better (finally!), I want to start posting again on a regular basis.

So here's my goal: Post everyday for 21 days.

hat : banana republic, from years ago
white blouse : vintage, estate sale
vest : vintage, estate sale
pants : refuge, thrifted

They say it takes 21 days to create a habit. We'll see. :)

Day One - check.

looking at the bright side

So bummed I missed out on my favorite holiday yesterday. Came down with a cold. :(



                          

 Which is not why I look so sad and pensive in these photos from last week.

I just have a hard time looking into camera without having a squinty face from the sun.

So there you have it. No cute costume. (I was trying to decide between a flapper, sailor, or cowgirl...)

Just me avoiding looking at the bright side. ;)

What did you get up to on Halloween?



top knot-ch fall day

Now this is what I'm talking about.

A little sun, a little chill. I'm a happy girl.



I love the brown/gray combo in this 50s dress. I want to explore this more...

Happy Thursday to you. :)

out of the ordinary

Blog a week. Take a month off. Not a bad gig.

This isn't so much an outfit post, although I have been wearing clothes in the past month. Just not taking pictures.

I just wanted to show you a little glimpse of where I live. (I'll give you one guess.)

Sunflowers grow like weeds around here, and are treated as such.

But to me these wild, unruly weed patches hold more beauty than any manicured lawn ever could.

Here's to being able to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. Let's do it more often.

Well hello there, fall. I've been waiting.



Go ahead. Bring on some not too hot, not too cold, but just right.

shirt - Ross
pants - Charlotte Russe, thrifted



Let's do this thing.

Happy first day of fall, everyone.
