Powerful Poncho

I feel like a genius! So I am not very computer literate. I basically just know how to get my email and google things. So needless to say this blog was a bit of a stretch. I have been blogging for about 10 months so far and really haven't taken any initiative to learn how to do things with it, like make my pictures larger or embed a link. That is all now a thing of the past! I used my google skills and with a little trial and error I am mastering some of the basic blogging skills. YAH!!!

On another note this amazingly bright colored poncho was a thrift store find. Who would give this baby up? I mean its such a gem! I decided to pair it with a complementing colored simple sweater, a thrifted pair of jeans, and my fav clogs. These clogs are great they have a heel and yet they are still something I can walk all over the city in. And last but not least, my black bag. What a great find. I picked this leather baby up at the Hell's Kitchen Flea market a while back for just $10. I love the structure of it also the top handle is great for carrying it when the cross body strap isn't needed. The best thing about this outfit is that a poncho is much warmer than it looks. Which is great because I am always freezing. I mean, its like wearing a blanket in public, love it!

Camel Coat = Fall

So I am finally updating the blog with some pics that are actually from the current season. These were taken on my roof and it was getting late so please excuse the poor lighting. I was searching for a camel coat to wear this season. I found one I thought was nice at H & M but after trying it on decided it wasn't really that cute on me, especially not for $99. So I continued to hunt for one that was classic enough to last for many seasons. I finally settled on this one from a thrift store for only $20!! Can't beat that price! Plan on wearing it all winter long.

Picture Over Load

I know I know, like whoa picture overload! I just couldn't pick for some reason and you know what, really there isn't even anything special about this outfit of the pictures. Its all really simple. I just really love fashion blogs when they have tons of pics. I will read a bit but nothing that is over a paragraph of two. Since I like it I figure I can't be the only person who loves lots of outfit pics. Nothing really much to say about the outfit other than it was accompanied by my moms amazing turquoise necklace. Love that thing. Its super heavy too. Its cold enough here now that I am wearing lots of layers and coats. Some posts of that coming soon.

Home Made Maxi Dress

This maxi dress is one that my mom made for me. I found the whole bolt of fabric for only $5. We didn't have any pattern and just sort of winged it. It turned out so great that when I found another fabric that I liked I bought it and made another maxi. I paired this one with the denim shirt over it. I know, I know, I have literally worn out this denim trend this past summer. But please just keep in mind that I didn't wear all these outfits in the order that they were posted. Still working on posting outfits from this summer. I am currently saving up some great fall looks that will be coming shortly...

Polka Dot Skirt & Denim

The last few months I have been getting really into thrifting. With the help of my mom I was able to pick out lots of skirts with prints on them that I liked for less than $4. I also got some really great pleated skirts. We then began to re-work them to fit me in the waist and hem them. This has to be one of my favorites that we did. It is absolutely adorable. My brother told me I looked like a girl from the 50s. What a compliment, that just happened to be exactly what I was going for. I have many plans to wear skirts layered with tights and sweaters this fall, oh and especially with boots too!

Ring The Bells That Still Can Ring

Another summer outfit pic. I have really been enjoying wearing all the new fall clothes but only recently started taking pics of them. Soon I will mix in some of those pics. For now that leaf around my neck is about all this outfit has to do with fall. On another note, I swear all the witty things I think of throughout the course of the day seem to turn to vapors when I try to remember them for a post. Lately I have really been diggin painted nails so I decided that I will have to do a post on some new colors I found and the like.

Pink Elephant

So I am still working on posting all the old pics from the summer. I have some that I don't think will make the cut. I liked the outfits at the time of wearing them but somehow they didn't turn out as well when they were photographed and now I pretty much hate them. I may have to start a new segment called "outfits I can't believe I wore". But since I can barely seem to maintain my blog as is that probably won't happen. This pink blouse is thrifted and I was initially drawn to it by its bright color. It is colorful and happy without being too loud.
