The Joy of Thrifting. My find of the day!

Found this vintage coat the other day. What caught my eye from a distance was the fur collar that told me immediately it was vintage. Then that beautiful fuchsia color. I immediately grabbed it and placed it in my cart.

I live in Florida however I have to take advantage every now and then when we have our little cold spells. Otherwise tak a trip to visit family up north.

There were some slight alterations but nothing that needed a lot of attention. Besides, the coat was only $6.99.

Recreating A Look

Ever wonder why some people seem to just know how to dress? It appears every time you see them, their outfit for the day is on point. It seems effortless. Well, I have news for you. Even the savviest of fashionistas tend to struggle every now and then trying to find that look they will not only be satisfied with but making a statement where others will notice them. Everyone needs to be inspired. The same as when a writer gets writers block, or an artist just can't place their vision on campus or in music, whatever their muse is, they rely on people places or things for motivation and to get the creative juices flowing. Whenever I get the styling block, I refer to various social media outlets to get inspiration for my next stepping out gear. My number one favorite is Pinterest. But before I start viewing through all the model pics, I have to decide what mood is going to determine the style I wish to achieve. It could be Edgy, Trendy, Conservative or Classic Chi

My Thrifted Handbag Collection

Vintage gown with Designer Vibes

Vintage Gown with Designer Vibes This vintage piece caught my eye immediately when I spotted it hanging from the rack. It was mixed in the summer dress section. The hardware has this Versace vibe and a deep thigh split. It made me a little apprehensive but I figured I could close up the split to my comfortability. No way was I going to leave it. Besides it was half off $7.99. YES!!!Someone must have eyed it from the formal wear section and later decided they did not want it. I decided to take a chance and purchase it without even trying it on. It just looked like it would fit. Got it home and it fit like a glove. Even the split was ok without having to alter it. Oh well it was just meant for me. I wonder if the person who first spotted it later had non purchase remorse.
