Vintage People and Cloudy Skies
So I'm back in the swing of things, now that spring break is over, and I have to get used to taking these outfit pictures again. Every time I have a huge break in between taking photos I have to get used to the idea of posing all over again. I'll never stop finding posing awkward. :)
So I officially picked my apartment for the next school year and I'm so excited! We got the apartment we wanted so we're all pretty happy. Oh, now my head is going to full of pretty little interior decorating ideas! Not for a while though since I have both a Statistics and Managerial Accounting exam coming up next week and a Convention this weekend that I have so much left to finish for (including a 100+ slide power point, gah!)
(l/s forever 21, belt h&m, skirt vintage, heels urban outfitters)

While I was searching for an affordable dress for my convention this weekend, I became desperate. (When I dragged my friend to the mall we left empty handed, he was a good sport though and even tried on a dress himself - future blackmail? ;) ) So, in my desperation, I decided to check out a vintage/antique store in the downtown area near my house that I've passed year after year but never entered. Lo and behold there were tons of goodies and even though I didn't find a dress (I'm not bold enough to wear those crazy prom dresses from the 70's and 80's) I was able to find this lovely skirt just in time for spring.
Oh, and the meaning behind the title of the post: I was telling my friend Mark about my skirt and I explained that it was what "vintage people" wore. Kinda forgot people can't really be vintage. Whoops. :)
you look so cute!!

Me on the other hand with my midterms, maybe not so much. haha
Hahaha! Love what vintage people wear. The skirt is so pretty. And you always have the best poses... very relaxed and never stiff.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Jen! xoxo
Hola Jen! Vintage people wear... haha so cute!
ReplyDeleteThrifting a great find is kind of like winning the lottery? Actually I don't know how that feels... I guess like acing a test that you didn't study for? Lol.
I think I'm waring the same belt in my current post! :P
Have a good week!
Yay for the new apartment! What a lovely skirt, I adore the print and colors, and I love the heels on you!
ReplyDeletethat skirt length is SO refreshing! :) the print is amazing too! you are adorable jen<3 good luck with all your work!
ReplyDeleteps. i went looking for stuff for dynamic duo part 2 but there was nothing...ahh maybe tomorrow when i go shopping again :)
I just purchased those heels from Urban! They went on super sale after the season, and I had to snag them..I have yet to wear them, but they seem really comfy, and they look great without outfit!
ReplyDeletep.s. as a new reader of your blog, I must say you have great style, your outfits are always so cute!
You look nothing short of darling in that skirt. I love the long length of it and the white shirt- you look adorable. Sounds like you went on quite the quest to find an outfit for your convention :)
