Vintage Revival

So, I'm working on this project at Fossil called "Vintage Revival" with Sarah and Marianne. It's taking old vintage clothing and accessories and updating it by adding new trim, updating the sillhouette, etc. We're just about done, just finishing up last minute details and our hang tags. The hang tags are amazing by the way! Sarah did such an incredible job! I'll show pics when they're all done! Anyway, here is some of the clothing from the project! The small collection will be at Stonebriar Mall on 11/12/09!!!!!

Enjoy!

Today was such a beautiful day, a good change from the rain we've had for the past month. I went to a fabric store today with my Sarah and Marianne to get some last minute trim for a vintage project we're doing at Fossil. I'll show some photos next weekend of some of the items we worked on. So while David was watching the football game today, I decided to play dress up! Here are some of the outfits I put together!

1st outfit:

wearing black flowy top from La Mariposa; DIY cut off shorts; scarf from XX1; tights from Target; booties from Urban Outfitters

2nd outfit:

wearing blue vintage dress from Buffalo Exchange; tights from Target; booties from Urban Outfitters

3rd Outfit:

wearing plaid flannel top from Urban Outfitters; cut off Levi shorts; booties from Urban Outfitters

What I Want To Wear Now

I'm obsessing over this look - shorts with tights and dr. martens. It's rock and roll meets sexy! I've been looking all over ebay for these floral dr. martens! I need them NOW!

City Slicker

Can I just say how obsessed I am with my vintage cowboy boots?!? I have to make myself not wear them everyday! Get ready, you'll be seeing more of these bad boys! So I got this skirt over the weekend...kinda fun in a tacky way! I saw a similar one on le blog de betty and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it! Anyways, bla bla bla Happy Tuesday everyone!

About My Blog

After hours and hours of obsessing over all my favorite blogs, I thought I'd join the fun! My blog will feature style inspired by vintage items! Most of my clothes come from thrift stores and I try to put them together in a fresh new way. By no means, am I an expert at trend. This blog is simply my interpretation of what fashion means to me, mixing vintage with modern elements.
