Maroon Maxi

Hey Ya'll!

I hope your week has been well! Mine has been pretty full on! I have busy spending time with friends and I really enjoyed that.  It has meant a few late nights, but I will catch up on sleep this weekend :)  The highlight of the week by far was when *drum roll please..........* I bought a car!! I still cannot believe that happened! For the past few weeks I have been looking for one, but nothing has worked out.  Then when my friends found this one for sale I was super excited about it.  Needless to say I bought it! Now when I look out on to the driveway and see it I'm like "who's car is that? Oh yeah it's mine!" Pretty surreal to have a car in NZ, not to mention living here!  I'm sooooo stoked!!! I have yet to decide where my first adventure will be, any thoughts? Before any adventure begins I have to learn to drive it, it being a manual and all.  That shouldn't be too hard and then I will hit the open, narrow, windy road :) I also should name the car, but first I need to bond with it a bit more :)

Anywho todays fashion post comes from last fall. On this particular Sunday a group of us all matched by accident (except E and I that aaas planned) and were the maroon section of church.  I love it when things like that happen :)

Leather Bomber Jacket - Wilson's Leather via Goodwill ~$20

Fur Stole - Thrift Store ~$20

Maroon Maxi Dress - Talbots (don't remember)

Cowboy Boots - Justice via Back by Popular Demand

Belt - taken off a dress

Navy Infinity Scarf - made by me ~$2.50

Cardigan - .......

I am biased but my favourite part of these outfits are the navy infinity scarfs simply because I made them and E looks so cute in hers :) Well my weekend has officially begun so I better sort myself out and do something fun :) 

Mustard and Navy Always a Good Choice

Hey Ya'll!!

Another #FashionFriday post for ya :) I have been loving going through my old photos and seeing what I find.  They bring back some great memories! 

Well this week I have been pretty productive going through and editing a back log of personal photos, I'm pretty proud of myself :) While editing I have a great new song to jam out to thanks to Rend Collective.  They released their new single "You Will Never Run", if you have not had a listen yet you should! I'm kinda biased since they are one of my favourite bands, so them releasing their single pretty much made my week :)

Well onto the outfit :)

Cardigan - via Macy's ~$20.00

Shirt - Eddie Bauer via Goodwill ~$5.00

Skirt - Talbots gift

Shoes - Lucky Brand ~$15.00

Fur - Great Grandma's

Necklace - Oil City Antique Warehouse ~$5.00

One of my favourite parts of this outfit is the fur, I really love wearing my antique furs.  I almost brought some of them back to NZ, but I was afraid they wouldn't clear customs.  Definitely was not prepared to take that risk! They would have been perfect for Art Deco though!! Anywho I also really love the mustard and navy combo, I do that quite a bit.  It just feels so classy to me :) Well I hope ya'll had a great week! I'm off to adventure :)

We're Going Out With Our Boots On

Hey Ya'll

Here's a #FlashBackFriday and #FashionFriday all in one :) These were taken last fall at my bro's baseball game.  

Leather Bomber Jacket - Wilson's Leather via Goodwill ~$20

Fur Stole - Thriftstore ~$20

Undershirt - Lands' End via Sears ~$10

Shirt - Boden gift

Jeans - Ann Taylor Loft via Goodwill ~$7

Cowboy boots - Justice via Back by Popular Demand

Earrings - Thrift store ~$2

My absolute favourite part of this outfit is that I was able to match with E :) Especially when it came to the cowboy boots which we rocked! It took me ages to find a pair! I figured while I was in Nashville awhile back I would buy a pair. Sadly I didn't find any at the thrift stores there, and the ones brand new in town were super expensive.  I just could not bring myself to drop hundreds on boots, but when I went to Atlanta I found these lovely boots at a second hand store! They were quite the steal and I'm glad I held off buying new :)

Well I hoped ya'll enjoyed our outfits.  I really loved matching with E and I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it as well :)
