Bronzed Dimples & Peach...

So...my 21st birthday was August 19th (if you follow me on Instagram, you'll see pics from my birthday weekend) and a few days later, I started school for the semester (last week). This is the outfit I wore on the first day. I wore a peach sleeveless shirt that had an exposed front on-top of a tan tank, with navy and white swirl-designed sheer pants (*). My accessories were mint and gold vintage-style earrings (my birthday jewelry), gold bracelets and bangles (*), a big orange purse, and light brown lace-ups with the cutouts (*). To complete my look, I styled my hair in a messy bun and had golden eye makeup. I got so many compliments on this outfit and I myself LOVED it! I hope you guys like it just as much. Sound off in the comments and let me know your thoughts.

Gypsy's, Tramps, and Thieves....

Hello again Old Vintagers, here's another outfit post. This, here, particular outfit was one I wore a few days after getting back from camp. This outfit was all black, BUT with a twist. I threw on a scarf and it completely transformed the outfit. For this particular outfit, I wore a black scoop-neck dress as a shirt with an exposed back and a long maxi skirt (*). I not only accessorized it with the multi-colored/designed scarf, but I wore my silver/keyed hoop earrings (*) and black sandals (*). And my look wouldn't have been complete without my signature red lip. Let me know your thoughts below.

Easy and Breezy

So...as I've said in previous posts, I've had a pretty busy summer that has took me away from blogging so now I'm playing a bit of catch up. Here's a post of one of my fave outfits from this summer. For the last week of July going into the beginning of August, I was gone for an entire week to the mountains of North Carolina for Young Life camp. I'm a leader and I work with high school kids trying to teach them about Christ while doing different fun activities with them. Well, anyways, for this week at camp, one of the activities we had was Dress Up night. For Dress Up night, I wore a khaki-colored spaghetti-strap maxi dress that had snap buttons all down the front and a cinched waist. I accessorized with turquoise accessories- I wore a turquoise and sea green beaded necklace, three stackable beaded rings, silver and turquoise starfish-shaped earrings (the aquatic trend was very big this summer, so I definitely wanted to try it), and platform heel sandals. I accentuated the outfit even more with my bronzed/golden and turquoise eye makeup and a nude lip with a golden shimmer. This dress is very simple (you could dress it up and/or down) and it was just perfect for dress up night. Hope you guys liked it as much as I did. Let me know your thoughts.

I'm a Rock Out With My...Out!

As you can see, by now, my style is multi-faceted. I don't ever stick to the same style; I'm always switching it up. One day I might dress super preppy, the next, really edgy and pushing the envelope, and the day after, I might choose to dress like a straight-up boy (real-tomboyish). It just depends on the way the wind pushes me that day. This outfit is definitely an example of my ever-changing style. I wore a blue jean vest (*) over a fitted black and white tribal print (one of this summer's hottest trends) dress. I accessorized my outfit with diamond studs (*), a eagle necklace to edge it up a little (*), a silver buckle ring (*), three stackable diamond-encrusted silver rings (*), a silver and turquoise ring (*), a black and granite gray beaded bracelet, a black cuff and a small gray link bracelet (*), black glasses (*), a navy blue cross-shouldered purse, and my gray Oxford lace-ups (*). I upped the edge factor a little by adding my signature red lip. I wore this outfit for my day trip to Memphis to hang with one of my girls. I love this outfit, it's sexy and edgy and it's just....me. Sound off in the comments and let me know your thoughts.

Hello, hello. Oh my goodness, I haven't blogged in forever because of my busy schedule this summer, so I have a lot of updating to do, soooo...here goes. The first outfit on the chopping block is one I wore on a sunny Sunday in July. I wore a blue jean tie shirt over a white tank with a tribal print pair of jeans. I accessorized the look with hot pink and pearl accessories. I wore big hot pink hoop earrings (*), a big peacock print pink cuff and small pink bracelets (*) and a pearl-stranded bracelet (*), a long pearl-stranded necklace, and hot pink pumps. It was casual Sunday at church, so this was my outfit choice. Hope you guys like it; sound off in the comments and let me know your thoughts.

Swimming In a Maze of Blue

So, this outfit is my most recent. I wore it yesterday for work. It's simple but cute and some of the items have been sitting in a bag for weeks now in a basket and everywhere else in my room so...it's about time I wore em'. For this outfit, I wore a light denim blue-jean vest (*) over a teal tank with a black and white-striped flowy, long skirt with my gray cloth Oxfords (*). My accessories included the following-silver, beaded, keyed hoops (that I DIY'd) (*), a silver buckle ring (*), three silver stackable, jewel encrusted rings (*), a silver and turquoise ring (*), a black bangle (*), and a light blue cuff. I edged up this look by adding my signature red lip. Sooooo...what do you think? Sound off in the comments and let me know your thoughts.

Preppy Never Looked So Good...

So, as stated in a previous post, I get my preppy side from my mommy. Hope this outfit makes her proud. For this outfit, I wore a hot pink cardigan over a light pink shirt with a tan and brown argyle-style print and chocolate brown pants. For my accessories, I wore big hot pink hoop earrings (*), a pearl-strand bracelet (*), several gold and pink bracelets (*), a light pink cuff with a peacock print, my pink Hello Kitty watch (*), a khaki-colored cross-shouldered purse/clutch (*), and light brown lace-up shoes with the cutouts. As I stated, I'm not a huge fan of pink, but this outfit was everything when I put it on. They say the best outfits are the unplanned ones, let's see if they're right. Sound off in the comments and let me know your thoughts.
