Little Red Dress

This is one of my favorite dresses. I got it at Everyday People, a consignment store in Minneapolis. It's 100% silk and a beautifully pure red with embroidery. It was $15. Such a find.

A Taste of the Orient

I know my friends have a lot more authentic looking Eastern costumes than I, but I like bragging about this piece. I got it at Unique Thrift Store for five dollars (I know, I can't believe it either). It fit me perfectly -- really, it fit me perfectly. It's so form-fitting I have tr ouble getting it on and off. It goes will with chopsticks, but since I didn't bring mine to college, I've just been using a big red feather clip -- the kind you can find at Claires or some other accessory shoppe. Black pants keep things modest for me.

Since we're on the subject of vests...

This Worthington vest is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. It never ceases to make me feel chic and sexy. I got it at Turnstyle, a favorite consignment shop of mine. It fits me very well and adds a sophisticated flair to my outfit. I am not usually one for gray, but in this case I think it looks stellar. It's not vintage, but that's fine by me because it's a great piece of clothing anyway.

This vest is very different from Hannah's. It just goes to show you how different styles can be.

You Deserve the VEST...

You know what they say: Be the VEST you can be...
Okay, puns aside, this is really the VEST I can be... as in, This is the VEST that IS me. It's such a simple thing: Tan vest from (the now extinct) Timbuktu Station. If you see it on a rack, you don't really see the potential in such a simple item. I always thought flesh tones were boring. But with a few other pieces, this thing really adds a tastey authentic flare to an ensemble.

I use this vest mostly for my hippie looks. It provides a nice earthy quality that goes well with the flower-child look. Plus it's got these amazing pockets and nice pearly buttons.

Timbuktu Station was bought by Maurices a while ago. My mom was going to get rid of this vest but I rescued it from the Goodwill box.

Peace out!
