Vintage or Modern – Floral Shift Dress

Just because it’s turning to fall weather, doesn’t mean the flowers have to go away. And I stumbled upon this pretty 1960s floral shift dress from It’s Vintage Darling. Very sweet dress, that I saw and had to pick for this week’s Vintage or Modern pair up.

It’s super sweet, with its airy floral pattern, and I just love the cut. Plus, (for all you fashionistas out there that say fashion is too expensive for something preworn), it’s only $121 and in good condition for being almost 60 years old! Can you even imagine the stories it could tell if it could talk? I like to pretend it’s seen a fair amount of afternoon teas or spring barbecues. Just lovely!

So now it’s your turn, which of the three do you love?

Halloween – Minnie Mouse Costume

Minnie Mouse Costume

Get the look: Black Long Sleeve | Red Shorts | Black Tights | Yellow Shoes | White Gloves | Polka Dot Hair Bow | Mickey Ears

A Minnie Mouse costume, classic. You really can’t go wrong with Disney. Plus, this is a super easy outfit to put together. Most people have at least the long sleeve black shirt in the closet, and I’m sure a few of you have black tights.

I love raiding my closet for an outfit, then piecing it together to get a great Halloween look.

Halloween – Orange is the New Black

So you’re telling me you haven’t been following Piper Chapman’s historically epic – yet fictional – prison life? (Ok, it was based on a true story. For real.) If you don’t have Netflix, I’ll forgive you. For everyone else, tune in. Now… I mean, now… I’ll wait.

I’m a bit overly excited about the show. I was nervous at first, not knowing what to expect. But I’ve been sucked in, and sucked in everyone I know. It’s a bit brash, and there’s things I can’t handle in real life anymore after a few of the episodes. Heck, I can’t look at a screwdriver the same way anymore and English Muffins are tainted as well. Also, watching That 70s Show, I can never think of Laura Prepon as Donna anymore. She is forever Vause to me – complete with no-longer-geeky-now-sexy black rimmed glasses (tape included). Sigh.

And hello! It streams on Netflix, so I have no commercials to deal with. But then when I’ve watched the newly released season, I’m left in shambles for a year. So here’s my ode to Orange is the New Black, complete with Halloween costume. Now to decide shall I be Red, Vause, or go all out with the red lipstick to be Morello (to include the veil, or not include the veil….).

Loft Stripes and More Stripes

loft stripes Get the look: Skirt | Top | Belt | Necklace

Stripes, stripes, and more stripes. Was goofing around and came up with this little Loft number. Add this to my list of double patterned looks. I’m really, really trying to prove that you can’t be scared of patterns, or mixing stripes with stripes.
