| Cardi Necklace and Cuff: Thrifted, Docs: DIYed, Dress: Handmade |
Can we talk about how awesome my legs look in this outfit? I wore this to work the other day, on the one day we've had where it was cool enough to wear tights, and I felt amazing! Which is weird because I usually hate this sweater!
So today I'm a proud size 14, with a men's size L sweater and size 10 boots.
This moon necklace is my new favorite thing. I thrifted it with my friend Jill and I paid $10 bucks for it. It's sterling silver and from Mexico. I loved it so much, but I knew Jill and I were coming back to that store like two days later and I said to myself, "if it's still there, it's meant to be yours". So the first thing I did when Jill and I went was run up to the counter and look for it! It was waiting for me!! I ADORE this necklace and have worn it almost every day since.
That same day I got this cuff for a dollar. Chain wrapped leather- you just can't go wrong!!
Well, I'm going to go work on some Lisettes since my boyfriend isn't home tonight and I'm aching for a new dress to wear. If you'd like to see some of my other posts this week, check out my first October
Pinsperation and my
September Round-Up.
Those boots look so cool! They fit you awesomely. Congrats on DIYing them. Sometimes you gotta make something work for you instead of against.
ReplyDeleteHi! Saw you on the link up. Oh my gosh I love those boots and dress and belt and moon necklace...you're right this is the best outfit ever haha =].
ReplyDeleteThose boots are kick ass.
This outfit is amazing! I love every single part of it. That moon necklace is so adorable. I'm glad it was waiting for you when you came back! It's always nice when you pass on something in a thrift store & it's still there when you come back.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit Meg - the colours of your frock ate so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAlso - I think I may have those same docs, although the zipper broke and I've never gotten round to getting them fixed :(
Fabulous outfit, Meghan! I believe colored tights are the unsung heroes of many ensembles. The color of the dress is amazing: is it really handmade? And your jewelry rocks.
ReplyDeleteMegan Mae- Thank you! They were hideously uncomfortable before and now I wear them everywhere! ;-) Tim Gunn is right- you gotta make it work!
ReplyDeleteJess- Hi! Thanks for stopping in! I really love this outfit so it's nice to hear that other people love it, too. This dress is one of my favorites.
Stacey- ILOVEYOU. This is the first time I've ever had something "waiting" for me in a thrift store- usually I buy it or I don't, I never wait on things. It was worth it. I LOVE this necklace.
Trees- Thank you! I'm sorry your docs have a broken zip- that's no fun! I think I'm giving up all other shoes and only wearing docs forever. I love them!
Shybiker- Hi!! Thank you! I made this dress using Simplicity's Lisette pattern (one of them- I forgot the number). Thank you so much!
