 Okay so first I apologize for not posting lately.  I just started a new semester and it has taken me a bit to get the gist of things.  I have been taking outfit photos during this time however so i'll have several posts within the next week.   I can officially say that I am now aboard the fashion train when it comes to the new trend of Jeffrey Campbell Vitas.  The ones i'm wearing here are knock offs however, but even so they are just wonderful.  I love the eccentric color of these and every time I wear them I receive compliments.  The fit is wonderful as well and they really aren't hard to walk in or hurt your feet at all.  I love the fact that with these you can pair them with any old outfit, not limited to a plain t-shirt and jeans, and liven it up in an instant.  So if you're thinking about getting some look alike Vitas or even the real ones, I say go for it!  You won't be disappointed.

 I've been searching and searching for a leather jacket that I absolutely loved.  Unfortunately all the ones I found were out of my price range like this one from Nasty Gal.  Luckily for me I found this one at the Buffalo Exchange when i went to spend a gift card I got for my birthday.  I was practically screaming whenever I found it because I adored it and adored the fact that it was only 18 dollars!  It is times like these that make me realize how much thrifting can really save you time and money!

I've been really into polka dots lately.  Probably because you can really pair them with any design and make it work in some way.  What really drew me to this skirt however was the waist band belt that is built into, it just gives it that extra touch that clearly makes all the difference when paired with this turtle neck my grandmother handed down to me.  I tend to be really late on trends however so I just go on my own schedule when it comes to participating in these things so if you guys know of some good trends I should try just let me know!

Doesn't this outfit just scream "Take me off to Paris", I've been searching and searching for simple tutorials on how to make a tulle skirt like the one above.  I am always up for saving money and I think that's why i love thrifting so much, not just because of all of the unique vintage items you can find, but  also because you can purchase an item for way less than you normally would pay.  It just leaves me feeling satisfied with myself, so if i can make this skirt myself i'm all for it.  Any ideas on how?

Over the weekend I find it hard to pair outfits for some reason, maybe it's lack of motivation or maybe i'm just lazy and like to lie around all weekend.  I knew when I found this sweater earlier this year however that this would be just the thing I needed that made a statement and yet doesn't feel like i'm actually trying.  I'm still trying to get the hang of this site as well so sorry if the photos aren't that great quality, but i promise i will be including inspiration boards very soon.  I also will be posting outfits from now on on Mondays and Wednesdays and maybe Fridays as well.

So I am kind of obsessed with thrift stores and was very pleased whenever I found this sweater at the Buffalo Exchange near me, their known to contain one of a kind pieces such as this.  The sweater is a bit thick though so i paired it with a light dress for the simple fact that I love mixing weather specific pieces together and was ready to tackle the day in the most comfortable outfit I've sported in a long time.
