Christmas shopping

perfect shopping outfit! comfy for walking around but dressy enough to go out to eat some place nice!

The boots weren't the best choice for walking though! that's just a price I'm willing to pay to complete an ensemble!

to return?

or not to return....that is the question.

I need some advice for you ladies.....I recently purchased some "winter shorts" which I keep seeing on blogs magazines weardrobe....etc....so I got some......this is how I put them together, but I'm not sure if I can pull off this look...

please ignore my dorkiness in the 2nd pic

so please give me your brutally honest opinion because I don't want to wear something in public that looks completely hideous

thank you!

jeans!

Kyla over at bluecollarcatwalk posted a couple days ago about custom jeans, and ever since I am dying for a pair of jeans designed by...myself! you can go to indidenim.com and design your own! you can choose everything from the back pockets to the waist measurment, inseam, wash. *sigh*

I've also been dying to get my hands on some miss me denim, and it's slightly more affordable than custom jeans




it's so hard to find good jeans these days, but I think these are adorable, even though I usually go for skinny jeans, I love the embellishment on the back pockets

fall fall fall!

my favorite season to dress for! it's not to hot to accessorize with boots leggins jewelry scarves, but not too cold to be practical!

secret...

I found a new secret store! you may be asking yourself...what the heck is a secret store?

well I have the answer! You see everyone once in a while I find a store that very little people know about (people in Kansas anyway) and I keep it a secret so I can shop there to my little hearts content and won't have the slightest worry of those "fashion copy cats" you know the ones......they say things like "cute where did you get that?" OR "oh I know you have this shirt but we're hardly ever in the same place! no big deal"

And that is why I have secret stores. But of course I wouldn't hold out on my fashion bloggers!

A friend told me about this amazingly chic little shop called Francesca's...which many of you may know about but here in redneck Kansas stores like these are few and far between! A diamond in the rough if you will!

here are some of my favorite pieces from Francesca's









But there are so many more adorably cute things, you should check it out

welcome

hello ladies... and gentleman?

welcome to my new blog, vintage with a twist....(all the simpler shorter names were taken)

Here you will see my sometimes strange but always fun outfits, my thoughts on different fashion statements and pretty much any other completely random things I might talk about!
