Summer Midi Skirts.

And since skirts are more nursing friendly, here are some of my favorite midi-skirt options--be sure and use the arrow to see them all. You can click on the image and it will take you to the site.

it's a swell of a life.

Hey guys! I just got back from a day trip up to our cabin in the mountains with my mom. We left our computer there last weekend when we were up there with family watching this.

We woke up early and made some thrift store stops in Payson, grabbed the computer, then hit every single antique shop/thrift store in Pine. I got some pretty great gems. 

I love small town thrift stores. The prices are awesome and it seems like there's less competition for the good stuff ;)

It's been fun to get back into thrifting--i was pretty hardcore in jr high and high school (remember i even found my wedding dress for $3 at an estate sale?) and then i faded out for a while, but this month--it's becoming an obsession. 

My new traveling goal is going to be, that I always hit up at least one local thrift shop when in another town or state. Nothing like a one-of-a-kind souvenir, right?

What's the best thing you've ever scored at a thrift store/estate sale/antique shop?

{For Fashion's Sake} Saturday: Week Classics

I love to break the rules of fashion; but there is something wonderful about the classics.

 I don't think it can get much more classic than the 

tried and true 

Yellow & Navy Blue color combo.

But if you know me, you know I couldn't stand for complete predictability, so I paired this timeless pallet with 

striped trouser-socks for some added spice.

The Breakdown:

Yellow Cardigan: H&M $14

Pearl Earrings: Forever21 $4

Navy & White Striped Shirt: H&M $12

Braided-Leather Belt: Thrifted $1

Navy Pencil Skirt: (Jones of New York) Thrifted (and altered) $4

Striped-Trouser Socks: Urban Outfitters $8

Leather RocketDog Mary-Janes: Nordstroms $65 (?) it's been a long time

How Do You Feel About the New Socks-With-Heels Trend?
