Tie-Dye Cowgirl

Silk tie-dye shift by Rory Beca, turquoise necklace from Santa Fe, and vintage leather belt

First outfit post of the summer! Many more to come, but these photos were taken on a whim because I happened to like the outfit a lot after throwing it on.

The belt was my dad's, until I stole it a couple months ago, and he wore it throughout the eighties, so it's well-worn. I love the rustic feel of it and I think the yellowy-brown leather goes nicely with the reds and yellows of the dress. The clash between the rough leather and the silk is cool, too.

And maybe you noticed, this is the first time you've seen my face on this blog! I've kept it well-hidden until now, but I thought it was time to reveal my true identity to my faithful readers.

Vintage Treasures: Part I

Hello, darlings!

Yes, it is finally time. I promised you a vintage post a long, long ago. But this is going to be a two-part series because I went out and bought more.

I picked up a super-fun sequined vest (pictured below) in a darling cream color. It's such an easy way to spruce up a simple outfit.

Worn with a Juicy Couture top and True Religion jeans, with a belt from Intermix

And I had to have this colorful '70s suede patchwork mini! I love how bohemian-chic it is, and so versatile, too. Here I styled it as "classic sophistication with a touch of youthful spontaneity" [insert haughty look here].

Worn with a Juicy Couture velvet blazer, Cosabella lace-edged camisole, maroon tights, and Cole Haan wedge boots

I'll be back soon with more of my finds (we're talking '90s velvet dresses and statement jewelry)! Thank you all for being so wonderful, by the way!

xoxo,
