Pajama Pants

White Blazer Silence+Noise | Sequin and Silk Strapless Montespan Top Diane Von Furstenberg (here) | Purple Silk Pants Silence +Noise (here) | Heels Steve Madden | Gold Love Ring Forever 21No post yesterday because I went to a an Oakland A’s game with some of my coworkers. I was dressed down (and rocking a bright green Member’s Only Jacket), but I did not take a full outfit shot. 
Since I went to work dressed down, I felt I needed to really step it up with my outfit today. It was cloudy, and I felt the pretty colors in this outfit were necessary for the day (as well as the sequins and ruffles.)
I love this outfit, especially because, aside from the ring everything, is thrifted. My favorite question at work was if I made the outfit. I am glad that I was able to find the pieces in 3 different locations and put it together because they seem as if they were meant for each other. If only I had worn it to a party, but then again everyday is one for me when I enter my closet.

Layered Pleats

Black Pleated Blazer Calvin Klein | Pleated Pink Jules Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Black Ulltra Patent Pumps Steve Madden | Black Bow Ring  Forever 21 | Pink Flower Stud Earrings Betsey JohnsonOnce again I rely on some clothes I have worn before on the blog, but remixed.
I had a meeting today that I wanted to look pulled-together for, but also have a soft, feminine feel to it. I think I pulled it off with the pleats and soft pink color from this DVF Jules dress. I took the sash from another top to tone down the volume of this dress.

I added a pleated blazer to go with the theme of pleats. 
Of course I could not resist having fun with the accessories! Life is to short to not wear ridiculously over-sized rings. I am also love the Betsey Johnson flower earrings. I felt the color and the petal details really matches with the dress.

Teal

White Blazer Silence + Noise | Teal Shift Dress and Fish Cuff Bracelet Forever 21 | Tan Belt Vintage | Nude Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden | Tortoise Shell Sunglasses Tory BurchYesterday’s outfit was a thrifted find, and I had to note that the bottoms were originally gaucho style, so a lot longer and wider. Needless to say, not very flattering or current. I had the suit altered, but now I am interested in learning how to do that, especially to stay on budget.
Today’s outfit has 2 thrifted items: the blazer and the belt. The blazer I discovered at Goodwill, and the belt is from Crossroads Trading Co. The dress is from my mom’s closet, so I am stretching my dollars even more. Sometimes I really like having an outfit on so much, it is almost hard to go workout after work. Yesterday I felt so tired after uploading photos all I did was go to my bed and fall asleep. Eventually I will have more energy, so until that happens I’ll at least keep posting my outfit photos.

Hope you enjoyed seeing some of my thrifted finds!

Cool

Leather Jacket Divided by H&M | Tunic Miley Cyrus & Max Azria | Leggings H&M | Thigh high boots Steve Madden | Sunglasses Ray-Bans | Rings Forever 21Does anyone else feel like a rebel when they slip on a leather jacket? And spikes? And thigh high boots? How about just with a pair of sunglasses?
I know I did, and I can’t help but feel cool in this outfit. (And no it is not because I am next to the ice chest). 
Another weekend gone and back in the bay area. Time to prepare for another week at work with a few new outfits!

Cannery Row

Cardigan Charlotte Russe | Top Rue 21 | Jeans, flats, and necklace Forever 21 | Bag Steve MaddenA late Saturday post, but better late than never!
I had such a great day. I spent the early afternoon with my best friend from high school shopping at our local Savers. I had come home to Salinas for the weekend, and was so glad we could hang out for a bit like back in the day. This store was one of the first I thrifted at, and with her as my shopping buddy. We looked for stuff that would be cool to use for our high school’s spirit days, but today I found a lot of great pieces that will come in handy for work!
Afterwards I headed to Cannery Row with my sister to meet up with Armando at Cannery Row in Monterey for food and black light mini golf at Oceans 18. We ate at Bubba Gump and played 18 rounds with Armando winning. 
My outfit went from shopping, to dinner, to having fun playing mini golf. I think my necklace was right on point for this trip by the ocean!
