Day 2: Vintage Vibe

I absolutely love the feeling I get from this Ross dress. The flow and swish of the skirt is to die for. One cannot help but feel like a lady of an era long ago. 
These glasses from Ross were a must-have for me. The moment I saw them I knew they were meant to be apart of this outfit. 
I paired the two items with an elegant, red set of jewelry( I believe they were from a yard sale where prices are almost always low), a red lipstick (free birthday gift from Sephora), and a pair of polka-dot flats that are outlined in, you guessed it, red. I cannot stress enough how important the details of an outfit are. Everything down to your hair and rings should be connected to each other or to you as a person.

Treasures are everywhere, you just need to know how and where to look.

Day 1: Linen Love

This pale green linen top is a beautiful and lucky yard sale find. It was a part of a group of clothes that were bought in the fashion of 1 bag = $1. When I heard that, you can bet your bottom that I rolled every article of clothing up and filled that bag to the brim. 
The pants are some comfy pull-on skinny jeans from Ross: dress for less (a very fitting theme for this blog).
To not detract from the intricate embroidery, I chose a simple green necklace and white flats( both from yard sales) to tie the outfit together. 
Finally, we have the white Ralph Lauren flats that were bought at a yard sale for the very low price of $2, and let me just say that these shoes have not let me down. I have worn them so often and the structure has never faltered. Always make sure that the clothes you buy have a great longevity, or are so low-priced that it doesn't even matter if they fall apart (preferably the former because they are of a better quality). Longevity means more bang for your buck since you can wear the clothes for years to come.
