This skit has been getting a great wardrobe workout! I reach for it all the time. Wearing: thrifted skirt and top, doc martens from poshmark, vintage vest from poshmark I keep going back and forth on this dress. It just doesn't fit me as great as it used too and the top doesn't shut anymore since the button broke so I'm mostly using it as a skirt now and I think that's ok... I did actually happen to see it at a secondhand store in a medium but I was swimming in it (this is an xs) so maybe I would be a size small? I just don't want to deal with it though. I was SO excited to welcome these Nelly Troentorp clogs into the family. I've been hunting for them for ages. I had them in the best green color and wore them until they got shredded in the cutouts, I wish I kept them and had them repaired but at least I have these gorgeous red ones now! Here's my first time styling this bright neon sheer top set that I recently thrifted. I just added some go-to frame jeans ...

a clog review: FROM SWEDEN! Calou Stockholm/ Syster Jane

Image
  Up first: Syster Jane/currently sold on Calou Stockholm website (it's the sister brand but isn't as prominent anymore as it was before, Calou is the main focus as of 2022).  I tried on a few styles but this pair really screamed my name. The colors and metallic sheen are just stunning. They are super comfy and low heel. All of the Calou Stockholm and Syster Jane clogs use artificial wood soles (except for the original ribbon tie style) so they are a lot more lightweight and not 'clompy' as traditional wooden clogs. This particular leather style is unique and they only had less than a handful made so these were very generously, a gift to me! I love them so much. If you love them too and want to get the look in different colors, this style is called the Diana and comes in brown, black and leopard print leather uppers for $130 USD here Next up: The amazing BEA boots that I've dreamt of for years (I saw them in turquoise and fell in love and still kick myself for not ...

These are powerhouse pieces of summer, so I figured I'd put them all together. They are some of faves--all secondhand except for my sandals that my sister surprised me with as a gift. I'm wearing : coach fanny pack, thrifted top and wrap skirt, old anthro glasses, melissa x lazy oaf kickoff sandals I never thought I would be a fanny pack girlie but so many of my insta friends in the thrift and secondhand community are so cool at wearing them that I was admittedly 'influenced.' I knew it had to be really 'me' and still my style, so I scrolled through my secondhand coach (and current Coach) options and fell in love with this unique leather one that has a smiley face and 'night life' in chinese characters and a tiny almost-hidden Rexy dinosaur (as the 'nose'). The brown and pink goes with EVERYTHING and the strap part is actually black so it matches even more things than just brown and pink. I even brought it on my California trip last month and it ...
