{Thrifty Thursday} Share Your Treasure!!

Sorry folks that I started this so late today! Here is my thrifty find that I altered and added to Hint of Vintage! It was just a bit saggy (like everything in the 80's) so I pulled up the puffy sleeves and brought up the length.

Gotta love some Lace

In my Spring Essentials I mentioned one of the things you should have in your closet is lace {and not just in the hidden drawer}.




These are a few of my favorite ways to wear lace this spring. Maybe you have noticed the beige pattern. This is perfect if you just want one lace item in your closet because beige is the new black this season. You can wear it with ANYTHING. Not to mention it screams spring and summer because this color is light. Now pair it with some color and you will avoid the clown look because you have some neutrals with it.

Happy Spring Time!!!

Gray to Beige

So it seems I am going for like colors this week because yesterday was all gray and today was mostly beige. The trick, I think, to wearing the same color is switching it up with a different texture, design, or shade for each piece that you are mixing together.

I am still tickled pink that I found these pants at the thrift store. They are so much fun to mix up, They make me feel tall and skinny, and they are j.Crew and I got them for 2 bucks. What could be better, I ask you?

p.s. I am posting this Monday night, for Tuesday, because of all the crazy tax stuff I have to get done tomorrow. Have a great Tuesday!

Gray

It is very gray outside, but luckily it hasn't affected the moods of my people inside. Link is still just as crazy as ever. And I am feeling ecstatic because I started my day off with a fabulous story via my sister. I just love girl talk and all the giddiness that comes with it :)

So it just worked out perfectly that my outfit was all gray yesterday. It was chilly and so I wanted to be uber comfy for church {even though I didn't get to go because Link was being such a pill}. Aw well, this outfit once again shows how versatile the maxi dress is: throw a sweater dress over it to make it wearable in the winter, cardigan over for spring, and tee under for summer. Not to mention: wearing it with a blazer, fun belts over jackets, and on and on. Don't worry, I'm sure you will see more of the possibilities because you might have noticed I love my maxi dress :)

Tuesday!

Sorry folks that I was MIA for so long! {ok, only two days, but it felt long}. I was working on some fun things for my Etsy shop Hint of Vintage. Namely, modest shorts. Because I feel like we get jipped, more often than not. Sure, they make long shorts, but they are never the fun designs that you see with the short shorts. Anyway, you can let me know what you think of these:








So, what do you think? High-waisted and pleated because they are everywhere fashion wise, long and modest with a unique touch :)
