Blue Dahlia

I think this outfit represents my personality pretty well as I am part-goofball and part-frumpy old lady, among other things. :3 Yes, the perfect outfit to wear while spending all day hunched over a tiny desk in an uncomfortable chair in a rather hot library reading very tiny print. Stupid course proposals!

Anyway, where was I? Ahh, yes. Frumpy goofball. So, basically all I did here was some simple color blocking using bright, warm colors. The cream vintage sweater breaks up the colors a bit and draws the eye with its deep blue flowers. It has the cutest little embroidery around each wrist and all around the hem, but it was too cold for me to show you all of that. Sorry! I'll just have to wear it again in the Spring and show the full sweater in all of its glory. :P I'll take any excuse, really. It's pretty awesome!

The only other new thing I'm wearing are these incredible vintage men's leather wingtip tassel loafers. Yes, I'm wearing men's shoes. They're the only shoes that will fit me in vintage sizing now hush! >_< Heh. I'm super stoked to have these and they were only $4.00! I said, $4.00! :D I can't count the number of times I've gone to someone's blog; looked at her shoes; found out the shoes were vintage and then discovered that she thrifted them for dirt cheap. I always think, "Why the f*ck can't I be so lucky? I hate spending a ton of money on shoes." Finally, a little bit of that thrifter luck rubbed off on me! *^_^*

Dude, thrifted men's wingtips are literally the only shoes worth wearing. I can't even tell you how many pairs I have. They're a godsend for vintage girls with less dainty feet.

Ok, I was in love with the shoes before but $4!!! Yes, the thrifting fairy has been good to you! I am SO SO jealous - they are amazing.

Also, I'm loving this frumpy old lady look - how do you manage to pull it off withOUT looking like a frumpy old lady?

Hahaha. I dunno. I bet as I get older, the old lady thing will stick a bit more. ;D Dude, you have sooooo many amazing shoes. I'm always salivating over them. I'm stoked about these, though. I've wanted some shiny black wingtips for long, long time. :D

I'm loving the mix of color going on in this outfit! The floral pattern on your sweater is wonderful too. And those vintage shoes were an amazing find! You can't tell they're men's shoes. I have a pair that look very similar but they're tan. And not vintage so not as cool. I'm rarely lucky thrifting shoes but I did find some awesome patent leather 60s flats once. They have to be resoled now so they're just sitting in my closet. Sad.

Those flats sound amazing. <3 I hear you about the clothing repair thing. I have a pile of stuff to be tailored/repaired, but that shiz costs money. >_<

Omg, not only are they super cheap, but they look brand new as well!!! Whoa, love them! I had such luck last year when I thrifted some amazing purple boots, but since then nothing :(
I am loving this skirt and the different ways you wear it, the dorky blue flowers sweater is awesome! ^_^

Yeah, I was totally freaking out about the quality and the price when I saw these. I was like...something HAS to be wrong with them. Why are they $4? It's madness. Haha. Oh and thanks! I recently got a vintage rust orange wrap skirt, but I'm waiting until Spring/Summer to bust it out. Now, I have two orange skirts. Yippee! Haha. I can finally give this pleated one a rest. ;P

Neither goofball nor frumpy, dear Anna! But a very beautiful girl with very nice thoughts and taste! I loooved this sweater, so yes, I am looking forward to seeing it in another combination - it's really beautiful (I love flowers!) And it was a very stylish outfit for a library and tiny letters :) Loved the skirt as well and well done about the shoes! Amazing! I had a similar pair many years ago and I loved them. At first they were very navy, white and navy, then I loved them so much that wanted them for winter in black - and painted them :) Never had I found a similar pair, so it was nice seeing you wearing them here - and for $4??? Wow! You are great!

Hey! Thanks so much! <3 Yeah, I'm still excited about them. Hehe. I know they will last me forever. They're my first pair of actual leather shoes, so I have to look up how to take care of them. :P
