    Looking the Part: Vintage Hairstyles That Rock

    July 27, 2018 /

    One of my favorite things about dressing in a retro or vintage style is playing with accessories and little details to make the whole look complete. My favorite way to do this is to style my hair in an updo or loose pin waves while also rocking a beloved day dress or floral blouse. Thankfully, vintage hairstyles have never been hotter and with a quick Pinterest search, you can find a bevy of looks that are classic and cute without venturing too far into kitsch territory. Today, I thought it would be fun to take a look at three different vintage hairstyles that have caught my eye recently. Whether you’re…

    Vintage Swimsuits: The Appeal of Glamour and Modesty

    July 26, 2018 /

    I’ll never forget the day my co-worker came to me with an armful of hangers and a wide grin on her face. “You’ll never believe this,” she started. “I just found the best collection of vintage swimsuits at the thrift store on my lunch break.” She proceeded to lay them out, one by one, on my desk. I’m not kidding when I say I don’t think I breathed the entire time. Call me crazy, but there’s something about holding a piece of vintage clothing in my hands that just makes my heart so full. It’s like I can look at an item and just see the years of love and…

    New Jewelry and Thrifted Clothes: The Key to Accessorizing

    July 23, 2018 /

    I organized my jewelry drawer this morning. With two kids underfoot, I pulled out layers of old necklaces, new bracelets, ring organizers, missing earring backs and more. It was like unearthing a treasure chest! As I went through and inspected each piece, I thought about how I often mix my new jewelry and thrifted clothes together, and vice versa. I very rarely wear an entire outfit that is comprised entirely of either new or thrifted pieces. Rather, I love to incorporate little touches of both in my wardrobe to keep it interesting and fresh. Here are a few rules and guidelines I like to stick to when getting dressed and…

    The Key to Dressing Like You Paid Full-Price

    July 21, 2018 /

    Psst. Want to know a secret? Everything I’m wearing in the pictures within this post was thrifted. Every. Single. Thing. Now, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that everything in your wardrobe needs to be acquired secondhand. There are plenty of great, reputable and even charitable retail brands that I like to support when I can. Yet, I honestly can’t afford to do so with every outfit or accessory purchase I undertake. Still, do I want to look like I paid full-price for my clothes every time I step out of the front door? You bet. In an era where hippie-chick is uber cool and I wish…

    Thrifting for the Home: How to Find Treasures You’ll Love

    July 20, 2018 /

    When it comes to thrifting, most of us tend to focus our efforts and our attention toward the clothing aisles, and for good reason. You can find so many fantastic deals hidden in there, from vintage day dresses to tailored menswear, children’s clothes and everything in between. Yet, have you ever considered thrifting for the home? Before I got married, settled down and started a family of my own, I was determined that everything in my house be brand-new. I spent hours scouring websites and looking for deals online for everything from dressers and sofas to wall art and desk accessories. After a few of those purchases, I quickly realized…
