sorry I've been MIA, I got my wisdom teeth out on monday and my face is still ridiculously swollen. Unfortunately I have to go back to work today as a chipmunk. I'm preparing myself to be mocked by my coworkers through my suffering.
I go back to New York in a little over a week. I'm nervous.
A quick outfit post. Every time I post I am shocked at the amount of clothing I have that is secondhand. It's pretty crazy! This outfit makes me wonder about the previous owners of all these items. Who owned this shirt? Did they wear it in a similar way? How old were they? Why did they donate it?
Have these shorts been sitting in a thrift store since the 90's? I so wish I could see photos of the previous owner in them.
Who wore this hat? An old woman? A young girl? Did they wear it to a wedding, to the beach, to a picnic?
the shoes and dress are from urban outfitters, socks are from target and everything else is thrifted. total cost: $65
floral on floral! I strongly considered adding in floral socks and shoes but refrained - almost regretting it now, but I actually enjoy this look without the complete floral explosion. I look a lot less disgusting in these photos than I feel today - it has been so humid! Ick!
This is my favorite song by one of my favorite Scottish bands, Glasvegas - it's so emotional and amazing, ahhhh <3. Also, just watched the video for the first time and the girl is beautiful. I'd probably cry too.
everything is thrifted but the socks - they're from urban outfitters, and the jewelry, which is a combination of gifts and thrifted. Total outfit cost: $20
I've been way too broke to go shopping lately - even to thrift stores. It's tragic. Luckily I have a crazy amount of fun sweaters and straw hats to mix and match to create looks such as this one.
The boots are my absolute favorite, but I can no longer wear them because they're almost completely destroyed. So so sad. I need to get them fixed, but don't have the money at the moment.
I'm starting to get excited for August, when I will finally return to New York for the fall semester. I really miss it.
I spent my morning dancing around my house alone while making cinnamon rolls and listening to this song:
Hello everyone! I'm obsessed with my new dress from Oasap! It's absolutely gorgeous. I thought I'd grunge it up a little bit with my combat boots, which I've been wearing for a ton of outfits lately. I also layered lots of long necklaces, another thing I've been doing too much of in the last few weeks!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their June, as it is coming to a close now.

Outfit 1: crop top and skirt: DIY, bag: thrifted, boots and hair clip: Urban Outfitters, jewelry: vintage, gifts, thrifted. Total cost: $40
Outfit 2: floral crown: DIY, top and shorts: thrifted, perforated oxfords: Urban Outfitters, necklace: vintage. Total cost: $38
I designed this crop top/ skirt set from an old floor length dress that I picked up in a thrift store. I am so so happy with how it turned out - I've been wanting a crop top/skirt matching set since I saw the beautiful ones sold on Nasty Gal. I plan to make a few more soon! I have also decided that since most of what I buy is thrifted or sale items, I'm going to start posting the estimated total cost of my outfits.
The total cost of these two is so high because of the shoes in both outfits - I paid about $30 for each pair, which is a lot for me. I rarely pay over $15 for articles of clothing.

My apologies for the still wet hair, I was in a rush to take these photos so I could get ready to leave for St Louis - which I am about to do! I can't wait!
The glasses, bag and shoes are thrifted, the skirt is thrifted/DIY, the socks are from Target and the top is from H&M.
It's crazy how an old pile of wood and dirty leaves can look so much better with a fabulous dress! It's one I've had for too long, just haven't had a chance to wear it!
The glasses and dress are thrifted, the combat boots are from urban outfitters
