Thrifted and gifted
I have been so busy this week, y'all. We've got something planned for every single evening this week. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, possibly Friday, and Saturday. And I picked up a little extra translation work in addition to my usual activities.... Busy girl. I am doing well with BBCA, though.
Tuesday - All remixed
Skirt: Ann Taylor
Shirt: thrifted
Booties: Aldo
Belt: thrifted
Earrings: Target
I felt a bit like a rock star in this. I'm pretty sure it's the plaid shirt with the booties. And the fact that my skirt is a little short - at least for me.
And I promise Kiku isn't growling at me - she's got a dog biscuit between her teeth. I love the touch of pink in this shirt and the softness of it. It's probably my all time favorite thrifting find.
And I think this is the outfit where I realize booties can work even for me.
Today I was considerably less inspired.
All remixed except scarf
Dress: Ann Taylor - gift from my sister
Scarf: Morocco - gift from my mom
Pumps: Nine West
Earrings: Turkey
What I do like about this is that I mixed red and pink. Which shouldn't work, but I kinda like it. It's a little unexpected.
Kiku clearly loves it.
The other thing that I love about this outfit is that it was made up of a couple of really great gifts from two of the women I most love. Do y'all think of the people who gave you things when you're wearing those pieces? I do, and that made me happy all day.

You are such a sweetheart, I rarely get clothes from my sister but mi mamita does buy stuff for me and I really like that because she now knows how much I like vintage so she gets things for me. =D

ReplyDeletera chiquita le decía mami. ¿Qué raro, no? Jejeje Prefiero hablar en español y escribir en inglés, no sé por qué. Cuando me enojo se me enredan los idiomas y los revuelvo. ¡A mi mamá le molesta TANTO cuando hago eso! jeje
