I have found a new crush in this lovely vintage dress!  I love the subtle print, the high neck and also the way it cuts in at the shoulders.  It is fashionable without having to try, comfortable AND it has pockets!  Perfection!  I wore it out to dinner with Jenna and our men the other night...perfect date night dress!
Hope life is treating you all well!!  Its almost Friday!

forever timeless

Can we please take a moment and discuss this dress?? 
Another shining example of why I love wearing vintage!  There is nothing better than a beautiful vintage dress - always fashionable and forever timeless.  This beauty sat in the shop for entirely too long, I even marked it down a few times before finally deciding it must mean it was meant to find a place in my closet.  So home it came and there it hung until the perfect occasion. I mean a dress this special, from the fabulous decade of the 1970s, deserves a special debut...So, Easter 2012 it was!
And now allow me to show you the back of the dress.  And I know you
you all know how I feel about great back detail...
My man and I spent the holiday traveling between our two family celebrations.  The day included a tasty brunch with his wonderful family and a delicious lunch with mine. Then we headed home to get a little yardwork in before we retired to the couch for some Sunday night tv, leftovers and snuggle time with our pups. 
All in all, a beautifully blessed day.

Wearing vintage dress and clutch from tag*, Aldo wedges, h&m ring and gifted earrings from my man's parents.
Total cost of outfit: about $55

Whether you spent the weekend celebrating Easter, or Passover, or just life in general, I hope everyone had a great one!

we'll ride them someday

I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday
-Rolling Stones

one day at a time

I know.  I know.  I haven't posted a new outfit in forever!  But, as I've mentioned, some crazy stuff happened that turned my life upside down a bit.  My vintage store, tag, suffered an electrical fire on December 14th, which forced us to close while we worked to clean and rebuild.  Now, over 3 months later, I have learned how truly devestating an event like this is and how long it takes to recover.  So I continue to take one day at a time and just move forward in the hopes that one day soon it will all come together and we will be able to reopen our doors bigger and better than ever.  But until that day comes, I spend my days occupied with paperwork, and inventorying, and dealing with insurance and so on and so forth.  So needless to say, there hasn't been much time for dressing up and blogging out.  But I've missed it, and all of you, so I figured its about time I made the time....
Here's a look back at what I wore one day before all this beautiful weather came our way...
Wearing vintage western from tag*, cargo jacket and bag from Marshalls, Seven for All Mankind jeans, thrifted belt and hat, H&M ring, and boots from DSW.
Total cost of outfit: about $200

Lots more posts coming your way soon...

into this world we're thrown

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Yeah!

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm
-The Doors

Out and about earlier this month...
Wearing vintage tee from tag*, jbrand jeans, random sweater and cuff bracelet, thrifted hat, sunglasses I borrowed (indefinitely) from Jen, Marshalls bag, H&M ring, and DSW boots
Total cost of outfit: about $200

There has been a lot going on in our lives and household lately.  My man and I have both been faced with challenges in our careers and professional lives.  With many obstacles in front of us, we continue to weather the storm and ride it out together.
The winds of change are in the air....
Happy Monday!!
