Dress: Kenneth Cole, thrifted for $3.50! And although it’s about 10 sizes too big for me, I just couldn’t resist, and nothing like a little skinny belt to make it all better.
Belt: Another thrift store item, prob spent about a buck on it.
Shoes: Jeffery Campbell, Platos Closet, $15. And while I am in complete adoration over these shoes, I could never wear them while I’m planing on walking. {yes, we’re talking about shoes} The dang ties are always coming undone, and let’s just say comfort is not the point of these shoes, um, at all. But, beauty is pain.
Watch: Nordstrom Brass Plum, $15. Just bought this during their anniversary sale, and I kinda die.
Statement Ring: F21, bought it in white too. And it’s quickly become an item I wear about once a week.
Bangles: Big shout out to Walmart here. Gotta keep it real. $5
Purse: Platos Closet Resale…I’ve been using this for MONTHS, which far exceeds the amount of time I generally use the same bag without switching it up. I think it may about time I go shopping in my closet for a new one.
Sunnies: Aviators, also from Nordstrom Brass Plum, $10
While I found major comfort in this outfit, I gotta say, it wasn’t a big hit with Jimmy. He tends to be drawn to the more form fitting stuff, and he just cannot for the life of him, figure out why I dress baggy. Oh well, sometimes (mostly actually), I’m dressing for my joy and not so much his. And if you saw the way he dressed when we first met, you might understand why I’m not so driven to take his advice.
Lets just say, he wore long sleeved t-shirts (one size too short in the arm length) inside out. Light colored jeans that were skinny before skinny was in…and chuck taylors with rastafari laces. {Okay, I’ll give him the shoes.} If he hadn’t been the nicest sweetest guy, the shirt and pants could have been a deal breaker.
Woah, can we say tangent?
But speaking of Jimmy and tangents…when we were dating (and he was wearing questionable fashion), we flew home to have him meet my family.
Guess what he brought to my mom and her husband as a little gift?
Summer Sausage.
Oh yes he did.
Summer, because um, that’s my name.
Sausage, because they were on the atkins diet.
Made sense to him at the time, I guess.
And yes, I still married him. =)
That’s true love.

I just told my boyfriend the story about Jimmy & the Summer Sausage the other night 🙂 I love it.
Haha I love the Jimmy stories. And you are seriously my thrift store inspiration, I need to get out and search to find some good buys like you find!
Super puffy heart those accessories!!!
I love the tangent!! Michael didn’t have great taste in clothes either. I took him shopping and dressed him up in all new jeans and tshirts. Much better! Haha. He used to wear old ugly jeans with holes and he’d wear (and still thinks it’s cool, btw) a quarter sleeve shirt with a tshirt on top. Ugh! Oh well. He was a cutie and I showed him better!
I like your blog!compliments for everything! xo
