Thrift Store Treasures

Went to the thrift store last week and scored a lot of great pieces. I think I bought out nearly their entire collection of all things velvet. Whenever I go thrifting I get new outfit inspiration. I feel like my thrifted pieces make my style so much more genuine and home grown. Makes me want to get out of retail all together and only shop Goodwill and Salvation Army so I can really challenge my creativity. One of my finds was this awesome denim maxi skirt, and here's how I styled it for this last dose of hot weather. 

Super distressed Midnight Marauders Tank - Urban Outfitters (sale)

Denim Maxi Skirt - Goodwill Shillington

Harley Davidson Boots - Goodwill Reading

Concho Belt - Qmart 

feels good to blog again.

Showers and Flowers

everyone always seems to be searching for their next step, on the look out for what will make them feel more fulfilled. I think that's kind of the most amazing and yet potentially detrimental part of the human spirit. if we always want more will we ever reach satisfaction? is satisfaction even actually attainable due to it's ever changing definition within our own lives self-made guidelines? 

I'm an ideas person, however I have a hard time acting upon said ideas and bringing them to fruition. it's almost as if I know that no matter what I do, It will only be enough for so long, so why do anything? it's not that I'm unmotivated, but I've just realized that satisfaction once it's reached, im no longer satisfied with what I once would have been. so rather than focus on chasing unattainable, ever-changing satisfaction, I'd rather just focus on my day to day happiness. 

some would say that happiness goes hand in hand with satisfaction, but I would disagree. even on our worst days, when all is wrong in our world, at some point someone or something got you to smile, or better yet laugh. and however brief or minuscule that moment may have been, you experienced happiness. 

so for now I'm taking things day to day and living for those happy moments. I'm lucky to have a lot of them each and everyday thanks to the amazing people in my life. 

I guess you could say I've been dancing in the rain the past few days.

Chai-dyed dress

Last night I chai-dyed this dress I bought a few days ago. The lower portion was a super stark ivory color and I just thought it would look better a few shades dirtier. It has sort of a vintage vibe now. Paired it with my go to combat boots, my concho belt and some flowers in my hair.

Special shout out to Tina, my photographer that makes me jump up and down like a crazy person.

90's Child

Between my blunt bangs and today's outfit I felt like I was in elementary school all over again, and I kind of love it. I miss the days when the word tag made me think of chasing down boys on the playground and not labeling a photo. Le sigh. Yesterday I was in dire need of money. My bank account hit the negative when TD took its sweet ol' time taking out my student loan payment. Thanks TD,  homies4lyfe - not! My card expires next month and I'm moving onto greener bank pastures. Anywho, took a trip to Plato's closet with two laundry baskets full of old goodies. Got $232 dollars, and a $25 dollar gift card to Free People for being apart of their mall employees program. I also managed to find two great Free People dresses, and two pairs of shorts from Urban Outfitters. Awesome finds. Couldn't wait to wear this oversized floral velvet number today -- and here's how I did. And yes my ginger love, the ever adorable Cat'n Jack is making an appearance.

Hell Track

Went to visit a local hideaway today where kids go to skate, and smoke, affectionally referred to as Hell Track. There's this sick, strange, old structure in the middle of it, it's got some weird equipment inside and graffiti for days. Today little brother bear and I added some personal touches to it with his new paintball gun. And here's what I wore today.

New heights

Didn't really plan for snow and rain when I got dressed today. Bought this awesome concho belt at the Quakertown farmers market this weekend from a little old lady after my own heart. She's obsessed with everything southwest ❤🌵just like myself. Felt inspired by my new belt and paired it with this Bad Religion tee and this great pair of pleated palazzo pants that I've had in my closet forever and somehow hadn't worn!
