Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off On Me

Category: My OutfitsEyeliah

Here are two one hundred percent thrifted outfits just for you!  I wasn’t completely happy with either of these looks, but it’s just a day of work right?  The crochet top here I thought was a fun pick its a plus size top but I am wearing as more of a tunic.  I can never get over how versatile this paisley blouse is, I really need to get a few more similar.  I realized lately I have an abundance of skirts and dresses, not enough blouses.  I have been making that my main shopping focus.

The floral dress is a little mumsy so I pulled it up shorter and added the vest to help reign it in.  The dress definitely looks best in the makeover outfit.  Perhaps a permanent alteration is in order.

Out in the Daytime Out in the Night

Category: My OutfitsEyeliah

This is one way to brighten up a dreary Monday morning! This was so fun to wear that I almost want to make a habit of it, except for the fact that I never repeat outfits.  If you are newer to the blog (because I’ve said it before), I never wear the same outfit twice.  When I was thirteen I started keeping track, I was known as the fashionista for good and bad.  That is the reason I can post new outfits almost everyday and also why they are not always spectacular, as I like to show every outfit I wear.  This one though is spectacular in my eyes, lol! I base that on the way it made me feel. :-)

What was your recent feel good outfit?

Thrift Scores

Category: I ShopEyeliah

On an up note, an unexpected trip to a thrift store got me some amazing Spring finds! The store was packed (it was Saturday) but I spotted these two white tops on the brand new rack, no price tags even on them yet. The white crochet is 100% cotton, and the other is a silk cotton blend and semi sheer, 5 bucks each at the counter.  Woohoo.  And I had to get this lil sequin tube top, I plan on wearing it as a belt. :-)

Cherry Blossoms have started to bloom in the city, the joy!

It Was a Little Windy Again

Category: My OutfitsEyeliah

Getting a decent picture of my outfit was impossible in this wind! lol. It’s usually much less windy once I get off my balcony into the city, so it was still okay to wear this outfit. My new custom scrabble ring and lollipop necklace are from OhMyDeer on etsy. It’s the same store where I got my peace necklace – love her pieces! I wanted to mix up something fun to wear with the lollipop necklace so I choose my rainbow dress.

Rainbow Plaid Dress, Ebay.
