Fall in the Desert

November is half way though today & I'm not too proud to announce that this is my first outfit post of the month. Yikes! But hey, at least I've been consistent with this whole "Mixtape Monday" stuff.

Anyways, this outfit gives you a feel for the kind of ensembles I wear during the daytime in the desert's idea of "Fall" weather.

Vintage turquoise dress: $10 at Catholic Charities Thrift Store

Vintage crochet wrap: $2 at a Thrift Store

Vintage belt: $2 at a Thrift Store

Vintage beaded necklace: $4 at a Thrift Store in Reno

Pink patent leather flats: Bought on sale at The Gap for around $15

Bonnaroo

Blowin' Bubbles

Devon & I eating delicious freshly baked Amish Doughnuts 

Sarah Barthel of Phantogram....I love her.

H & M sheer shirt- I think it was $5 on sale 

Super old converse

A Ralph Lauren backpack I got at a thrift store for like $15

& galaxy shorts pictured in more detail below

Thom Yorke... a name that needs no introduction. 

Hand-painted galaxy shorts from The Gypsy Den. I'm in love.

 We spotted Reggie Watts on the ferris wheel just before we went to his set in the Comedy Tent. Hilarious dude.

The last night at Bonnaroo & it was raining. I'm wearing a thrifted dress, my go-to spiked necklace from The Gypsy Den, and a sweater from The Gap's sale.

So basically Bonnaroo was/is awesome. We scored on some unusually cool weather for the fest this year and we were not complaining. This was my first year attending and it was amazing. And even though I did go to a festival that was hundreds of miles away from home, I still managed to stay true to my thrifty-ness. Instead of paying for a $300 four day pass plus camping and $240 travel expenses, we decided to volunteer at the fest through the Work Exchange Team (WET) which covered our full ticket, camping, and three $8 meal tokens to use at the festival vendors... it was a really great deal.

Blue Dresses & Flowers

A Monet made of flowers

Yesterday I went to the Bellagio with my mom, sister, and aunt to see the Bellagio gardens, the art gallery which is currently displaying Monet and other impressionists, and to eat at the super tasty restaurant called Olives (tooo good). After the Bellagio, we also went to check out the Gypsy Den... I picked up a really cute top there. All in which I wore my knot dress from Nasty Gal, a vintage purse from a garage sale, a spike necklace from The Gypsy Den, and vintage sandals.

The second photo at the top is what i'm wearing today: a great vintage dress I just picked up at a thrift store ($5), a vintage hat also from a thrift store ($5), and flats on sale from The Gap. Later on I bought an  amazing bracelet from a garage sale for $1 (5th photo from the bottom).

The last photo is on the way to the airport... I miss Jeepers already!

Lost Cat

I hope this Gato finds its home!

So, it's been a little while and now here I am, diving into my second week of the new semester. I think Core Humanities is going to kill me; I hate trying to decipher all that ancient text.

My American Popular Music class, however, is going to be the beez kneez.

I'm a little late on uploading the rest of the photos of the vintage clothes my aunt sent me to model for her etsy store but here they are! 

It's been quite the eventful week (slash) winter break, and now I have just a few more days left at home till I head back to school.

I'm having mixed feelings about leaving this paradise full of delicious home cooked meals, cozy animals,    

sundress weather, and MY OWN ROOM but i'm trying to be optimistic and excited for the semester ahead. Expect to see more frequent posting of outfit these next few months, that is if I have the motivation on those bitter cold mornings at school.

Baby's in Black

Zac and I have been together for 3 years... can you believe it? 

So this Saturday we went on a little nature walk, the same place I went to in this post. The weather was, surprisingly, really nice and not as freezing as it has been these past few weeks.

I wore a black turtle neck and nude shoes bought on sale from The Gap, BDG pants, and a vintage black sparkle top sent to me from my Aunt Paula to model for her store. If you like it contact her for details!

After going on a little walk, we ventured to the thrift store, Savers, and I bought this little electric blue skirt and slipped it on for a little Christmas Part hosted at Zac's house.
