I once was an extreme lover of thrifting and vintage. In fact, I loved vintage so much I owned an online vintage store. I thrifted so much that I found I had way too many items of clothing and accessories in my closet. It was time to start purging. Years of thrifting had taken a toll. I would shop for both my business as well as my personal wardrobe. No one person needs a ton of clothes. I’ve learned to purge and I love simplifying not just my wardrobe but my life! I am still purging things and as I do purge, I find things in my closet I’m inspired by.
I found this vintage dress, reminiscent of a secretary’s attire from the 1940s. From afar, the dress looks fuchsia but is actually a blue and red print. Since the dress has a “personality” of its own, I decided to simply accent the dress with one of my fave metals: gold. The gold pops perfectly against the dress and doesn’t complicate the outfit.
My shoes are nude heeled sandals from Forever 21. I chose them because not only do they not detract from the outfit, they add the same accent the belt does…the boldness of gold metal. The sandal design balances the look. My jewelry is dainty but doesn’t go unnoticed in this outfit. Both my bracelet and gold (diamond) die-cut earrings are from Layered Chains. I LOVE both so much!! They add class to the look and just enough gold to not appear gaudy. For a finishing touch, I wore black framed glasses to bring some attention to my face since my makeup was so very neutral. Ironically enough, it added to the classic “secretary” look of the outfit.
I shot this look in the Goodwill while on a shopping run. Earlier I mentioned how I am in a stage of purging. So why would I be in the Goodwill shopping? {Insert scold here}. I was shopping for picture frames to decorate my beauty room. I found exactly what I needed and (beyond the pics) I was out of there!! Lol. Anyhoo, check out my look and let know if you like it!! I will eventually reveal my remodeled beauty room (nothing spectacular but I love it). Until Friday…
Bye Cupcakes!!
