great day for discovery






hummingbird vest: resale
skirt: J Crew sale
lotus necklace: [un]possible cuts
blouse: Lauren Conrad, Kohl's 
heels: Seychelle's

I actually like the washed out look of these photos. All the light gives them a dreamy quality that works. I was playing around with the shutter (I think that's what is was) and the self timer feature. If I just set the timer and stand in front of the these windows I show up as a black shadow. But I discovered by turning on the self timer mode, focusing on the ground, and pushing the button, I appear in the photos. Full disclosure, I am horribly ignorant where cameras and photography are concerned. My knowledge barely grazes tripods and the self timer feature. And that's it. I imagine this "discovery" of mine is something that everyone knows, but I was pretty excited. Or maybe it's just that this old lady sweater vest makes everyday a great day.

return of the old lady sweater

 I realized yesterday that it has been far too long since my old lady sweater vest has been in the rotation. So tada!



vest: resale
dress: Montgomery Wards vintage
tights: Kohl's 
heels: Target
necklace: Sway
In my mind wearing a vest with hummingbirds crocheted on it is on a whole other level than sweaters with kitten and chalkboards. As in, way cooler. Right, yall?

bringing "old lady" back

My best friend makes fun of this vest, she says it's an old lady vest. Well, if old lady vests are wrong, then I don't want to be right. I love this vest. I bought it dirt cheap at Plato's Closet in Dallas. It is one of my favorite things yet had been sitting in my closet, unworn and unloved for over a year. I am officially bring it back. Hell, I'm bringing old lady vests back. Get ready.

Today in a coffee shop two women came up to me in line to ask me to take off my purse so they could get a better look at my vest. They asked if I made it myself. I wish I was so crafty! I would make one in every color!












Vest: from Plato's Closet
ButtonUp: GAP
Belt, Shoes, Earrings: Target
Skirt: Banana Republic (resale)
Tights: Kohl's
