Looking and Feeling Great with not a lot

The weekend was so busy and I am moving slow this morning. On Saturday Mike and I went to a bunch of thrift and vintage stores and I wanted to buy so much but I only bought one pair of peep toe shoes for $6 (not shown here). I will see them soon but for now I have a newish skirt on from Rocket Reuse and all consignment clothes on today!

Wednesday was a busy day but I wanted to look myself, which I guess is a blend of blossom and fall tones! Hat: very old maybe Urban Outfitters Top: Uniqlo for Merrimeko $45 Jumper: target $20 Tights: can’t remember

It’s the Sunday of a three day weekend. I am focused on casual clothes. I have been thinking a lot about how I buy and am going to focus on only buying new clothes/shoes/jewelry from eco-conscious, recycled, etc. I found a link to different businesses that focus on eco-aware to zero waste attractive clothing, I hope to buy from one of these brand when I need new clothes and will continue to buy vintage, consignment, and thrift! Outfit: Sweater - DKNY via Beacons Closet Tank: Old Navy, three years ago  Pants - Old Navy  Shoes - from TJ MAXX Companies I will explore! https://whimsyandrow.com/ https://backbeat.co/collections/new https://www.thereformation.com/categories/new

I have a few days of posts to update! Yesterday was a very busy day, I had breakfast with my friend and we watched Little Women, which provided me much needed future fashion inspiration! So much plaid and tweed! Timothee Chalamet was a fashion standout with tailored plaid pant suits, long coats, grey blazers, and vests, so many vests! Then Mike and I went to see the Monkees at Sketchfest so I had to wear comfy shoes and clothes that worked fall day! Outfit: Jacket: Rocket Reuse $35 Top: Daisy’s $35 Pants: Old Navy $15 Today it’s all about layers! I know more sweaters then I can count so fall/winter is my favorite style season, especially when I can layer several different sweaters, vests, jackets etc! Outfit:  Necklace: gift  Vest: Anthropologie (sales years ago) Sweater: H&M (years ago) Pants: The Gap (sale two years ago) Socks: Anthropologie $10 Shoes: Bought at TJ MAXX (Rocket dog) $40

Well it’s Friday which included a few meetings and some travel. I had a outfit idea so I decided to try it and got a lot of compliments on my sweater a la TJ MAXX from my maxxinista days! Outfit: Earrings: Vintage, from Rocket Reuse $35 Sweater: TJ MAXX $30 Skirt: Vintage, Rocket Reuse $30 Rings: BrookeLyn Ceramics $30 per ring Shoes: Beacons Closet $30 Other accessories: Shortwave podcast I am fine but I am lying book

The weather is mixed today. Kinda rainy, cold (ish), I am also going from work to a movie tonight so I wanted to be comfy but be appropriate for work! Outfit: Top: online $10 Skirt: gifted, Uniqlo (Mike and I gift each other an outfit each year. This skirt is part of that gifted outfit) Vest: Mike’s Buttons: from everywhere! Shoes: Crossroads $40 Necklace: Native Sol Jacket: Old Navy Boys $35 Other Accessories: Podcast: CIIS Pod Brooklyn Superhero Tote Music: Soundtrack of Steven Universe Movie: Knives Out Book: Powers/House of X

It has been warm in the Bay Area so I decided to “skirt” the pants and wear a old H&M skirt instead! Most of what I am wearing today is old or vintage/consignment Outfit: Jewelry: gifted or flea market finds Top: Consignment Skirt: H&M (have no idea how old but old) Shoes: Salvation Army $10 Other Accessories: Music: Tracy Chapman Book: I’m Telling the Truth but I’m Lying Also: My favorite Jean Jacket

Mike and I just watched The Unicorn Store with Brie Larson and the movie is sweet, funny, beautiful, and the fashion is bright and fun! Definitely inspiration on me to be colorful and sparkly everyday! And to wear a lot of pins on my Jean jacket, which I already do! Learn about the movie ! Here are a few of my fashion favorites from the movie!

So despite my best intentions I am falling a bit behind on this blog. It’s okay though! In the end it is for me and highlighting my finds. Occasionally, the night before work or an outing, I will think of an outfit. My outfit today came to me because I really wanted to wear these pinky peach Everlane pants. I decided to wear a lot of soft pastels and solid color clothing and wanted to wear hard black oxfords as a juxtaposition. When I do this, sometimes it works, but oftentimes I have to tweak something, not today though. Sweater: Uniqlo, a gift from Mike Pants: Everlane, $30 Shoes: Consignment Housing Works $45 Top: Consignment Beacons $20 Necklace: Gifts Other accessories Book: House of X/Powers of X Show: trying to figure out why I like YOU so much Music: Mariah Carey’s Butterfly

Thursday night usually means beer and burritos so I like to be comfortable but also nice! I love my new sweater, which is DKNY consignment at Beacons Closet. It has a ton of holes in it but I like that about it. Pink pants from where else but Old Navy. The other three images are of an outfit I really loved before Christmas! The dress I am wearing as a top is Zuri Kenya one of my favorite clothing companies. With stores in New York and San Francisco, I bought this #justonedress from the Museum of African Diaspora when they had a pop up of Zuri Kenya. I always get a ton of compliments and it is worth the cost!
