Well, Hello loves.
This outfit is too over due. But I like to introduce it, simply.

100TH POST!!

2011-06-13T20:36:00.000-07:00

LEATHER&LOVELY!yellow.black.

Let's put our hands together for this is my '100TH POST'. I felt the
need to make a small deal out of it. It's very exciting.
In other news, work (like always) has taken over my entire life. I have no time for
myself. And when I do have time, I like to spend it cuddle up in my bed watching
my lovely eye lids. Even the lovely weather hasn't given me the energy to do anything.
But I'm starting to slowly snap out of my little 'weird' emo phase and come back
to bloggin' full time. I just can't leave my lovely bloggers hangin'. I hope you all
can forgive me. (sad face)
Onto the outfit. Okay, the weather was gloomy. And it was the perfect change to break
out my beloved leather leggins. (Miley Cyrus brand) And to top it off, the day before
I found this amazing shirt! In love. Simple to match it with all black and accessorized
with watches (that clearly don't work) And kids, magic did happen!

SHIRT:Thrift//$4.00

Thank you all for being so lovely.

I've recently got the lovely opportunity to shoot a dear friend of mine engagement photos.
I should share some.
But anywhoms, I'm back. This outfit was from last Saturday. I wanted to be
girly with a slight of edge-ness. Pretty, right?! (Such a tease, sorry). More to come,
promise.

GROOVY TOP&NEW BLACK SKIRT THAT'S NOT LACE!gold.black.

Let's rewind back in time to the lovely Saturday.
The forecast said rain. But instead, we got beautiful 800 degree weather. I knew work
was in my schedule of the day. & I couldn't let this beautiful day go to waste to a
lousy outfit. So I jammed it up a bit. Maybe not a bit, more like, too much. But
I never care. I finally went out & purchased a new black skirt (Which was well needed)
& definitely worth it. My sparkly top & new skirt had to meet, & well kids, this is what happened!

SKIRT:LOVE CULTURE//$17.00
TOP:THRIFT//$.40

Thank you all for being so lovely.

A FLOWING EASTER!

PRETTY DRESS& WOODEN CROSS!
nude.brown.

God has blessed me uncontrollably. I had the lovely opportunity to be featured
on a famous music website: Green Light Go Music
I'm still in 'Awww' & still in shock. Still hasn't hit me yet. I'm just
so Thankful & very honored. (Check it out).
Okay, Easter was amazing. I got to spend it with Ryan's family along with mine. A lot
of food, laughter, & wine. I got a deeper meaning with our Savior & I was
very emotional part of the day. But I realized, 'He is risen & we are now forgiven'.
I sported my new dress by H&M. No tights were needed, but
heels definitely were. It was a very beautiful Sunday<3.

The past few weeks I've been non-stop busy. Mostly workin' & making every
customers arrival their best. So I'm exhausted. & The thought of taking photos after
is just a simple 'no'. But in the mist of everything going on, I decided to shop
& snap a couple tease shots of my outfit. I have some amazing news. But I'll save
it for my next post. Which will be comin' so soon, so no waitin' around. Hehehe

SAME LACE SKIRT&NEW SHIRT!black.white.silver.

I know, I know. I really need to invest in another black skirt that isn't
lace & black. Maybe just black. But with no lace. But I can't help it. I'm in love
with her. (Yes, I know. I'm giving my skirt a sex, which isn't possible) Just don't
mind me. I'm slap happy from working a silly 4hr 'night' shift at the lovely F21
& I'm losing my mind, slowly. Any who's, don't want to get off track.
But, 'she' goes with everything. & For this lovely outstanding find, I felt the need
to let them meet & about came this lovely outfit. My mom made a comment that I over
did it. But in my mind, I felt like HOT stuff. I shouldn't be purchasing shirts
that are long sleeve & itchy due to the fact Michigan is finally divorcing the snow
& letting Spring shine it's way through. I couldn't resist & I'm happy I have it.
Tights, a belt, & flats were necessary as always. & There you have it. Golden!

FANCY TOP:THRIFT//$1.30
TIGHTS:F21//$5.80
PURPLE NAIL POLISH:F21//$2.80

Side Note: If you have a FOREVER 21 in your area, go & purchase their
nail polish. It's so amazing for the lovely price of $2.80. Someone told me it's
much better than the expensive O.P.I. & The colors are booming'.
Thought I'll spill that. Also as you can see, my lovely shirt hair is a no show.
All because of two negative comments got to me. Silly. But summer, it will make
a comeback, for sure.
I hope you all enjoy. & Thank you all for the lovely comments & reading me.
With love, Elaine Von.

VINTAGE 60 GIRL!

2011-04-02T16:41:00.000-07:00

LOVELY SKIRT&SHORT HAIR!pink.white.gold.black.

Well, Hello again.
Today's inspiration was based off my newly cut short 'boy' hair. I wanted to be
extremely girly & accessorize as much as I could. I thought doing so would take most
of the attention off no hair 'Ashlee' & more on my outfit. It worked.
I was really itching into getting into my skirt. Figured why not a lace top & a huge
white belt. No tights were needed (Since Michigan is now finally starting to believe
in Spring, slowly). I felt very girly, very beautiful. I felt like I was on top of
the fashion world.
Enjoy loves:

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
I didn't realize today was April 1st until I stumble upon my calendar. I can't believe
it's April already. Time is a really flyin'. Good news, I finally was able to 'trick'
my moms computer into letting me download my favorite photo editing program.
Which is a plus since now I can update regularly. So now, I have NO excuses into why
I shouldn't be updating.
But, I've been on so many thrifting binges, it's time to share! I'm soo excited for
this. I had to minimize the update otherwise, you'd be here all day. & I know you all
have things to do. Like prank love ones, or things I can't image.
So loves, please, enjoy:

LOVE&JUST TON!black.white.brown.blue.red.

I just want to give a wonderful welcome to my partner & lovely friend:
JUST TON!
She is pure 'fashion' love. I wanted to feature her on my blog for the simple reasons
of her ability to throw things together & make it amazing. It's just pure love.
(She will be featured more often. So no worries)
I'm sure everyone will be addicted to her & I'm the start of this fab.
She's a local designer. & Together we are building a website. This Sunday we are
shooting for our blog & that will be up & running in a couple weeks. So look out for
that. I'm just in utter excitement. I'm just happy that I've finally found someone
that shares the same interest in thrifting & being funky & crazy with fashion as I am.
Oh & to end the rambling, I officially have a girly mohawk (pictures in next post).
No more lovely flowing hair. I'm slowly getting use to it. But we'll see.
ENJOY!!!!!

I hope you loves enjoyed.
Thank you all for the amazing comments & for reading me.

BRIGHT PINK&SKIRT!pink.black.silver.

Hello beautiful world of bloggers.
Elaine Von is back. Well not my computer. But my inspirations of actually getting
all dolled up for the day. No more leggings and oversize shirts. Yes.
Well, you loves deserved this update more than anything. So I'll keep it short
and simple (so far, the rambling is beginning. Ouch!). I got this lovely pink shirt
from one of my 'Thrift Binges'. And baby, for 80 cents, I couldn't be more happy.
Paired it with my favorite lace skirt. Huge bow was indeed needed.
Tights (Because Michigan doesn't believe in Spring). Flats for comfort. Yup, beautiful.
ENJOY!

H&M ADVENTURE&SOME NEW GOODIES!

My dear friend Trish and I headed to our lovely world of H&M for some
goodies. Well, mostly for her. But Friday, I get to spend my hard working cash on some
nice things I seen and need badly. Anywho, We had a fun time laughing and taking
secret pictures in the fitting room.
The other day, I had some pocket change left over for my very own spending pleasure
and purchase 4 little things from Forever 21. I'm getting a little too obsessed with
nail polish. I need to stop. I'm beginning to purchase the same colors thinking I
don't have them until I get home. Silly me.

ELAINE VON. PHOTOGRAPHY&APOLOGY!
Oh man. I can't believe I'm sitting here writing another sorry post to
my lovely followers. I didn't want to have to do this,but I have to keep in touch
with you all.
Well, this lovely excuse is just sad. My computer is still broken and I'm beyond
annoyed about the entire thing. It's just the fact that I've been on three Thrift
binges and I can't show you what I've purchased. Simply because my brother is on
his laptop 24/7. Literally. (Except right now. I had to beg him for two days).
And my mommies laptop, well, the editing system I was using on hers expired and
I tried tricking the computer to let me reload it. Nope, forgot, computers are smart
and it wouldn't let me.
I am soo sorry. I'll try my best to post this week. Since I have a lot days off
work this week. So expect A LOT of new goodies and outfits. The weather has turned
beautiful over night. But sadness must continue to ruin Michigan. Ice storm is a comin'
and my car and I aren't prepared. I've decided to share just a couple photos of my friend Trish that I've recently took. I hope you guys enjoy:

Thank you all for the lovely comments. And also taking time out of your
day to read my blog. Means a lot to me. Thank you all, I love you.
With love, Elaine Von.

THRIFT FINDS&FLORAL!pink.gold.brown.blue.white.
I had a beautiful day today.
Michigan decided to show a little hint of Spring and I was overly excited and felt
the need to bring out my all time favorite thrift 'Spring' find, my floral over sized
dress. It's still a little nippy out, so I still had to throw on some tights and boots
because the night before, we had a small winter blizzard. I'm so over winter.
But it just won't go away.
(More snow is predicted in the near feature of this up coming Wednesday).
So lame. To put the weather to good use, I venture out to my second home.
My thrift store 'SUNSHINE'. I had two lovely ladies tagged along with me. I found
some items that I would love to share. So loves, come, enjoy:

PHOTOGRAPHY DREAMS!

2011-03-05T22:13:00.000-08:00

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE & LOVE.
Hello dolls.
I've decided to stick with what I promised and wanted to show you all some of my
recent and old work. I've been into photography since the 10th grade. For some odd
reason, I don't really consider myself as a 'photographer'. I mean I am. But I don't
really show boat it. But I feel since I love doing it, I should 'consider' myself as one.
I know that probably was confusing and just retarted. I have so much on my mind,
I don't really know what I'm talking about. Anyways, I just wanted to show another
side of me. Lately I've been feeling blue and my fashion sense has falling to the
simple leggings and oversized shirts. I'm going thrifting tomorrow and looking
through Vogue. So I'm hoping my blues days are over and I can get back to really
showing some good outfits!
I apologzie for the extreme long novel of uncertainty.
Enjoy the photos!

MODELS:Jackleen Eve. Trish. Jerilyn Jordan. Mimi.

I hope all is well.
With love, Elaine Von.

Opps!

2011-03-01T18:04:00.000-08:00

LACE&SHORTS!cream.black.blue.gray.

It's March 1st.
My how time flies. I remember when It was January 1st. It's blowin' my mind.
But beside it being a new month, I've been bad and not updating like I should.
Small excuse: My computer is still broken and having to beg my brother to use his
or try to focus my eyes on my moms small screen is just a hassle. But since Ryan
is a dear hearted boy, I'm updating now with an outfit that was last Friday.
Lately I've had to urge to layer, beyond layering. But for this outfit, I decided
to tone it down a little. Found my long lost love, my cream
lace shirt. Sported it with a pair of shorts (still obsessing over these). A green
blazer seemed darling. And my beloved pair of knee high boots! I felt kewl.
Yeah, that's right, 'kewl'.
Side Note: Since I won't be able to 'always' post my outfits, I've decided to also
post my photography. This Sunday I had the opportunity to shoot the lovely:
Jackleen Eve for Cailtynn's profilo. She is such an amazing model. She's pure
insane beauty love. Any who, I thought I would share a different side of me and I
really hope you guys enjoyed!
Enough of chatty, enjoy!

MAXI LEOPARD DRESS&MESSY HAIR!gold.black.

Hey, hey loves.
I just wanted to apologizes for not updating regularly. I've been uninspired lately.
I know, it's horrible. But I've recently pick up my beloved magazines: Elle&VOGUE.
And now, I'm inspired more than ever. Even though my limit to spending is limited
due to the fact I've come to my senses to move out into the scary world with my love.
But recently, I did a thrift drive by and found this Maxi animal print dress.
At first I wasn't too crazy about it. But the more I kept checking myself out in
the mirror (Yes, I sound conceited), I loved it. I decided to sport this baby at work,
which was a complete waste. I felt I could of did a lot more with it, but I did
add a belt and my leather jacket and fur coat to add some 'BOOOM BAM WAM WOW' to it.
When Spring arrives (If it does) I'll probably have more accessories and different
ways of sporting this beloved jewel.
But like I always say: 'Come loves, enjoy".

TIGERS MOUTH&SASS!black.white.

Let's go back a couple months. For Christmas, I received a lovely H&M gift
card. I wanted to make the card linger as long as possible. Welp! I did and I want
to give myself a little pat on the back. Because baby, I found the tightest dress of
my dreams. But with a lovely animal sporting on the front of it. I have so much joy,
you should come celebrate with me. Hehehe. ROAR!
(Ps: I got asked to work at Hollister today. I felt loved. Funny, huh).

TINA TURNER DRESS&ATTITUDE!pink.gold.black.

I know it's technically Tuesday. Which means Valentines Day is officially over.
But, let's pretend I'm updating and it's still Valentines Day. So since that's that,
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, LOVEBUGS!
I hope every ones day was filled with unconditional love from whom ever.
My boyfriend Ryan tricked me and told me he had to work late. As I'm slaving away,
he walks through the door and I could of died. We had a romantic dinner and I got
a little drunk and we ended the night with me watching reruns of Teen Mom (guilty pleasure)
and him watching his eyelids. Lovely.
Toned the dressing up to a medium. Crashed into my closet to find my long lost
love. I'm not a big fan of pink. But I had to stick with the spirits of Valentines Day.
So I went with it. I had to cut it shorter. Added a belt, jacket, tights, flats,
and there you go. I had fun <3.

FAUX FUR&SHORTS!brown.gold.black.

Friday was a beautiful day all around.
I got the good news that my blog feature is now up on:Freestyle In Detroit. (Go, check it out).
I'm still in a bit of shock by the whole thing. I'm giggly and in awww.
(Thank you so much Alvita).
Then, I hooked up with two of my good friends and ventured to our favorite Diner
for coffee and girl gossip! It was such a divine time. A lot of laughter, inside jokes,and good french toast.
But in all, I was really into my outfit. I broke out the over sized faux fur.
And sported my new beloved shorts, flats, and clutch. I would of posted my new finds,
but my computer is sick and I have to get it fix. I'll try my best to keep updating.
Nothing is going to stop me.

I'm so excited you guys chose to follow me.
And I just want to Thank you dearly.
So, yet again, I ventured to the lovely township of Troy to do a photo shoot in the
'rich' side of Somerset. I wanted to do the whole hungry look (Meaning: Over sized clothing). But I decided, what the hey, I should dress up! The only down fall to
high waisted jeans, the lingering thought: "Do I have a camel toe". So apologizes
in advance if you have to witness. But other than, enjoy!

PREVIEW&FUN!gray.black.brown.gold.starbucks.

Today was a special day.
I had the honor to ventured out to Royal Oak to meet up with a local blogger
here in the Metro area to do a mini interview for my blog.
(Which will be featured on: FreeStyle In Detroit). The entire time, as I
was sipping on my Chai Tea and pretending not to let 'Trish' who was capturing the
memories, I was in pure utter giggly excitement. I couldn't believe I was sitting there
answering questions that I've only read when other bloggers are featured. I feel really
blessed and thankful for this amazing opportunity. This day has been so amazing.
And I can't get the image of someone wanting to get to know me on a personal level
as well to figure out why I do my blog. Today, will always keep me going. I love it.
I'm very Thankful. Thank you Alvita (PS: THANK YOU FOR THE VOGUE! LOVE!).

Always Finding Something New In My Closet!

OLD&NEW TREASURES!white.black.gray.

Yet again, I stumble into my closet and find Old&New Treasures. I get
overwhelmed with excitement. I feel like I just went shopping. I've come to realize,
I adore winter. I love over sized sweaters and the layering. That day, the shorts
took over my mind and made me think I wanted HOT, HOT, OVERLY HOT weather.
No, you can't be cute in the summer. Okay, enough of small talk. Come, enjoy.

I can't believe I 'forgot' that I had this lovely piece.
This holy over sized sweater is love. So many things you can do it with.

Along with this lovely piece. Forgotten treasure. I remember,
a friend of mine (Jerilyn Jordan) and I switched.
And I was very lucky to end up with this lovely cream over sized sweater. Love.

I just recently purchased this lovely over sized coat/jacket/whatever.
I'm in love. But I haven't found the 'proper' way to include it in an outfit. I will.
But randomly, I would wear it as a coat. And man does it keep me all warm and fuzzy.

Could this outfit be anymore clique. I mean stripe shirt with an huge
anchor. Black tailored shorts with gold 'sailor' like buttons. And let's not forget,
Michigan is still the height of winter. I pumped gas before work. I got the disapproval
stares of; "Why are you wearing shorts. It's cold". But my argument would of been;
"Well, I'm wearing tights". I cannot wait for the beautiful-ness of Spring.
I'm so over coats and scarfs and etc.

Explored into the familiar and the unfamiliar. It was a divine time.

As we all know, Martin Luther King Jr Birthday was Monday.(which was yesterday).
Anyways, I decided to be girly and dress up for the occasion of the fact that
He changed the world. It might have been small, but to me, it's a big deal.
Today, I decided to ventured out into the cold and icy streets to thrift. Found
two amazing items (I think are amazing) that I will share. So, come on, look!

SCREAMS&CLAPPIN'.Okay, Okay, settle down.
I know! I've been away way to long. I'm actually in imaginary tears.
The thoughts of me letting this blog go untouched for this long is a shame.
I should be slapped on the hands and put into a corner with a stack of books
on the top of my head. But, I can't. But all I can do is apologize. I'M SORRY
And I promise not to leave, ever. (I will take breaks).
Anywho, I've been thrifting non-stop. The cold weather has been forgiven.
Except for the blistering winter storms and inches of unwanted snow (YUCK)!.
I do have a few things I've purchased and fell deeply in love.
(This is just part one) So expect more. Yes, very exciting.

Friday the 13th.

My entire outfit was from F21.
I danced in my 'Jazz' shoes. And rang up rude customers.
And that's it. Keepin' it short and sweet.

DESIGNER&MAGIC!white.pink.blue.green.

With how the weather has been feeling,
I've been the crazy person sporting shorts with lace tights& medium sleeve shirts.
And to add more hottness and texture upon my already full outfit,
a sparkly jacket, made by the wonderful and only, "JUST TON".
For shooting her summer line. I got this lovely jacket in return.
I'm sure you'll see more of it, but for now, I'll tuck it away until the weather drops to the low 60's. But, this was my outfit for the day. (working at Forever 21). And I'm pretty shocked that this shirt didn't get recalled. I mean, it's almost a spitting image of the 'Chanel' shirt. But without the expensive price tag. As always, I'm rambling on. So I'll keep it at that.

And the question might be, where have I been? Well kids,
I've been working my life away at the most popular store known to date;
FOREVER 21. I've been able to show off my pure love of being a visual girl
doing accessories and making shopping easy for rude costumers. In all, I've
beating myself up every single day that I DIDN'T take pictures of my lovely
outfits. So I might have to recreate my looks to share. But for now, I'll
share the recent outfit I've wore. (Thanks F21 for silly theme days).

I've had this lace shirt for almost 6 months. And today was
the special day to sport it at work. Considering it's 94 degrees out.
Made myself knee high tights (since paying 5.00 bucks for them seems overpriced).
Sometimes I think retarded. But in all, I felt nice, I felt fashionable, I felt hot
(not literally). If I ramble more, it won't go anywhere.

On July 2nd, 2010, I decided to show my "American" spirit by sporting
a striped blue and white blazer with a lace top underneath. The only thing I was
missing was red. But who cares?!? My side of town did their yearly display of fireworks.
I had a beer that was warm. And my first elephant ear. In all, a good Friday. I
finally hit that H&M sale. Got a few nice things. I guess the story ends here?

The same pair of high waisted hand made shorts have been glued
upon my body for the last week. I feel ashamed that in probably four post,
I've wore the same shorts. But I can't help it. Their lovely. I feel sooo good
when I match them with "everything" in my growing closet. I think it's time for
another stop at the thrift store to find more high waisted jeans to turn into
beloved shorts. This ramble can go on forever.
I adore my new hair. I love wearing head bands with my new hair. I can actually
wear a nice little pony on the tip top of my head. This isn't going anywhere.
So I better save you all by stopping now.

It's fun when I clean my room and I began to sort through my untouched
"old" clothing.
And I fall upon things I've wore once or twice and little ideas of outfits come shooting from underneath some crack in my brain that's been wanting
to show itself for years.
I was a bit excited to throw this together and it felt nice.
Hint of new and made things with the outcome of just old crap laying around turned
into a beautiful put together outfit. I'm excited, I'm inspired.
One thing I do miss, thrifting all day everyday. Too bad my broke car is taking up
all my money and dreams of hitting that H&M sale. Maybe next time.

amd walking is expected! I tag along with a friend and a new one.
Ate ice cream (which was too expensive)
And visited a vintage shop where I purchase a lace top.
Which will be featured! I really need to post my finds.
Anywho, ran into some popular faces. Which was only the local news.
I was excited because I was walking towards the camera (awkwardly)
and doing my model walk. In all, it was a fab day!(Thursday, June 10, 2010)

to sport a bathing suit top and shorts. And laying out in the shade playing silly

And a black jacket. I feel like my style has come to a complete simple stop.
I need to be inspired again. I need to get back in the groove of dressing up, having fun, and enjoying the nice weather.
In two weeks I will be in front of the camera instead of behind it. I'm nervous.

Just an oversized shirt, tights, and my Mary's. Which didn't really go with the outfit,
but with fashion, who cares?!?! Right! I don't! I got a lot of stares and whispers.
But in my head, I felt cool, smooth, sexy, tall, modelish(Not a word, I know).
Also, I'm proud to say I have a new hair due.
NEW NEW NEW!
I'm a bit scared still. Showing off my huge forehead. But I'm dealing with it.

Okay, enough of small blah blah talk.
This was yesturday look. I felt like a total "Hipster" as people now call it.
I felt very messy in a good way. I added the belt to the shirt for some structure.
Otherwise I would look like I was wearing a piece of fabric hanging off my body.
Added the Fedora, black sunnies, gray tights, and my favorite leather boots.
Went over board with my bracelets. And there you have it!

price (probably due to the fact they had a lot of crazy young ladies, like me, shocked at the
fact they were priced at 60 bucks)I got them for the lovely price of 20. Oh H&M!
Well I was mostly all H&M out.

BIKES, SKIRTS, AND FRIENDS!pink.black.white.Last Thursday reached a beautiful high of 66 degrees.
In matter of seconds, I would predict a high of 70 degrees.
I couldn't bare not to wear something spring like.
So I chose a lace see through top.
A bright pink cotton skirt. And to top it off. My new addiction, polka dot tights.
I wanted to be comfortable while riding my bike. I mean I'm already breaking rules
by wearing a short skirt?!?!?.
So I decided on the most boring shoe, white flats.
The day was outstanding. My friend Trish tag along. Being on a bike reminded me
how much I miss being a kid. I wonder what the rush was to be all grown up. Too much
responsibilities. Yuck.Trish and I.
Feeling like Urban Outfitter models.
Adding the simple touch of our bikes in the background. Legit.A jumping picture always

Shear Enough!

2010-03-06T20:47:00.000-08:00

HANDMADE&VEST!gray.white.purple cream.This gorgeous beautiful over sized shear vest was hand made
by the lovely and only amazing Fashion Designer: Lindsay Gibbson.
I adore the heck out of this light air shear vest. I didn't know I could pull of a
decent look and not take away from the vest. But I kept it simple and let the vest
stand out and shine. And well, it really did. I think this outfit is my favorite.
I'm pretty sure for the next couple months, you'll be seeing a lot of this lovely vest!
THANK YOU LINDSAY!!

I'm feeling summer creeping around the corner and my legs wanted to come out and play.
But the rest of my body still wanted to hide for another 3-6months.
Added the simple touch of my favorite and only leather jacket.
Dangled a lovely silver necklace. Fashion?

T-SHIRT&TIGHTS!black.cream.I've always wanted to pull of this look. The look of only wearing a extremely long t-shirt
with tights. And I did it. I've had this shirt for almost a year. And couldn't really
figure out how I wanted to wear it. Well today, I had a new out look and decided to
go for the t-shirt and tights look. Added leather and boots. I was very pleased. I
would adore a pair of high black wedges. But for now I can settle for my leather boots.

THRIFT DISCOVERY&FRIENDS!white.blue.brown.yellow.I felt very pleased to find four things to add to my
already packed closet full of used clothing. I had some company along with me on
my adventure to find items I adored. And well, Ms. Trish found a couple things to fit
her taste and to add to her collection of mix and matched. We had a blasted. Laughed,
talked, and even had a meal on the run (meaning shopping). Later we had more company.
In the end, we all left happy and for filled.I've been searching for pants just like this.
I'm still a bit nervous how I'm going work this into an outfit that looks good.

SOFT&BEAUTIFUL!cream/white.gray.denim blue.brown.Today I was feeling a bit
soft. But I wanted to add a little boom. And well, the denim jacket added that much
needed edge to this already shear dress. I felt very light, very beautiful, and vintage
in a cool hip way I suppose. The shoes just seemed to fit right into what I was going for.
Actually in all honestly, I don't really know what I was going for. But I'm happy
how the look came to a completed soft look.

I am excited for tomorrows adventure. I am going with three lovely
ladies that adore thrifting and finding those simple or amazing pieces to add to their
collection of clothes. And serve an amazing purpose for them. I'm excited cos I haven't
gone in a week. I'm just overjoyed with the hope that I find something good.
Even though last week I found two things. One of the items I've already used and I'm in love.

NO STRUCTURE.NO FASHION!white.gray.black.cream.denim blue.
Lately I've been in this weird spot where I over layer.& when I mean I over layer,
I over layer. Over throwing the idea of the outfit I had in the first place. I like
to call it,Sloppy Joe. Where you have layers of unknown fabric falling
beneath other existing fabrics. For some odd reason, my mind register this look as
a complete fashionable look. But in reality, It's just shirts after shirts after what?
fabric. Well I was ashamed to share. I am, but why not. I haven't really gotten dressed.
I just grab what was ideal in my eyes to keep me warm and comfortable. And this kids,
is what you get. Sloppy Joe.
WEDNESDAY:demin.scarf.cowboy boots.and white layers.Everything expect the leggings and the two shirts aren't thrift finds.

THURSDAY:leatherjacket.oversized sweater.boots.layer shirts of gray&white.
Everything expect the two shirts and leggings aren't thrift finds.

The fact of it is, I need to be more comfortable with showing my face.
Embracing what I adore to wear without feeling ashamed. I just dislike being judged.
But hey, if people dislike, they dislike. I just hope my love of this blog grows.
Along with my fashion as well.

I haven't gone thrifting in 3 days. That's like a year in my eyes.
I've been thinking non-stop of all the good things I'm probably missing. But then
I began to think,I've got a really bad addiction to thrifting. Spending money I
don't have. But, tomorrow or today since it's almost 4 30 am. I could make a PIT
stop to go thrifting. I mean, I do have a reason to go. I'm sure in mid June
I'll need a intervention. But right now, I like my addiction. And the only thing
it's hurting, my wallet.
Oh, and I can't stop thinking about those gorgeous wedges at H&M! I want them. The
outfit I wore yesturday would of completed the look perfectly. Stupid 50 bucks
I didn't have. Offt!

I guess I've become the thrift-A-colic in my town.
Yesturday I took a tiny group of individuals to my favorite spot.I helped them out how to
thrift,and find good deals.And with helping them out,
I got a bit of luck and found this
lovely beautiful blue blazer.I adored it.And adored it even more when it fit.(and on sale)
Even with the outrages shoulder pads.I think they belong in the blazer.Usually I rip
them out.But with this item,I think it's better off staying put.
Well since feeling freedom.Simple fact,it was Friday and it was payday.I thought to
myself,since I've been upgrading my wardrobe.I knew my hair needed a bit of mini
extreme make over.So I had my lovely friend,Emily cut bangs for me.At first
I thought it would look weird.To my surprise,it turned out lovely.I'm still getting
use to it.Also,my hair is still in a bit of shock?I suppose.

And more pleased with the shower of compliments of my style,my look,and how I
presented my self.My ego was over the top.
Well,I decided to treat myself to some sale racks at H&M.I was in shock when I came
across a gorgeous brown fur coat.But the most amazing part,when the young lady rang
up the coat and it came up to the beautiful low price.I was in awwwwww.

into an unknown city.And discovered a little thriftstore along Lake St.Clair.
I was overwhelmed with the amount of things they had to offer.I couldn't leave.
I just linger up and down isles of gorgeous clothing.I couldn't hardly breathe
I was just blown away.Maybe cos it was new.Maybe cos I had money,I don't know.
But I had to keep reminding my self the real reason I was there.
And with the luck of all luck,
I stumble upon two classic pieces.And when I paired them together,it was magic.
I'm really excited to wear this lovely all black outfit to my second part of my interview.
I'll make sure I'll do a post when it's all put together.Offt!I love thrifting!

Everything there was 1/2 off. And it was amazing.

Gosh, do I adore finding that one thing no one else has. Or something similar to
retail price for so less. It's just a simple happy high I get.
