Winter has finally, angrily hit us here in Ohio, and I was not prepared for it today. I may have looked cute, but I thought I was going to die every time I stepped outside. I was really stoked to rock these pieces though, most of them I’ve never worn!
WHAT: leopard scarf, my gramma
scarf brooch, on loan from maya
lemon shift dress, thrift
green tights, forever 21
patent oxfords, payless

Stay warm!
Last year I started a new tradition in my group of friends by deciding I wanted to do Thanksgiving in a way that would be more fun. So I told my family I wasn’t coming, and cooked dinner for a bunch of my friends. I was really happy that the tradition continued again this year, and even more people came!
While everyone was eating I started looking around the room and I noticed how totally cute all my ladies looked, so after dinner I asked if they’d pose for some pictures. I wish I’d have thought to get individual shots too. Oh well, next time! So here are some of my favorite ladies and myself!
WHAT: cream brocade dress, chicken lays an egg
pocket watch necklace, chicken lays an egg
rose bracelet, yard sale
gold bangle, my gramma
black tights, h&m
black oxfords, payless
WHERE: black friday at the store and friendsgiving
WHEN: friday, november 28
Today is my second weekday at our lovely new store, and I really want to thank everyone who helped me along the way. From painting to donating clothes to just coming in, you have all made this possible for me. For as long as I can remember this has been my dream, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
The response from the Northside neighborhood in general has just been so overwhelmingly friendly and supportive. One of the residents from the upstairs apartments even donated a box of beautiful vintage cameras! Thanks Erin!!
And here’s our little store!!
I don’t want to completely bog down this post with pictures, but that doesn’t even show half of the store, as well as our back room that you can barely see. And we definitely have MEN’S clothes too!
Here’s a little outfit I wore to the library a few days ago, and I finally took advantage of my lovely surroundings…
This was originally a floor-length old lady skirt with a giant bunny patch on it, but I salvaged it for the cute yoke and POCKETS. One of my best saves.
WHAT: diy button earrings, homemade
fall leaves scarf, thrift
mustard yellow t-shirt, rainbow
full summery skirt, thrift
bakelite rose bracelet, my gramma
burgundy lace knee socks, chicken lays an egg
brown oxfords, macy’s
WHERE: library job and hanging out with my brother
