     I love thrifted clothing, but I am really loving this retro 70s vibe that recently cropped up in the fashion world.

     So I'm consciously pairing new items with thrifted items to create retro/vintage looks, and it's a bunch of fun. If you're just getting into thrifting, this is a great way to test the waters. Take an outfit you'd normally wear and replace one item with a thrifted item. It'll make thrifting fit into your wardrobe so much more easily!

    This outfit is a great example. I wore a whole new outfit, but switched a new tank in for a thrifted dress worn as a top, and voila! Spring friendly outfit! It's completely modern with a retro (thrifted) twist.

This would have made the perfect debut album cover to my Indie career in the early 90s.
Just need to learn how to sing on pitch, play the guitar, write music, oh and go back in time 20 years.

Try my trick at thrifting and tell me how it goes!

     I love the flowers when they bloom, but I love it even more when the petals start to fall to the ground! It's the prettiest type of shower. And the floor is always dusted with beautiful pastel petals. Like rose-tinted glasses for life temporarily.

     And I know this outfit is screaming fall, but with how the weather's been, I felt it was more than appropriate!

    I'm pretty self conscious, and I feel like I need to push myself to love me in every type of outfit, so I'm going to start wearing shorts and short skirts (internal scream). This is one outfit I'm ok with. I'm totally lying to myself when I say I can see my recent work outs showing, but I'm ok with that. If you're like me and don't feel quite so comfortable, the big patterned scarf helps create coverage without distracting from the whole outfit. Plus the big hat and sunglasses make me feel invisible to others despite being even more obvious!

Lemon Tank + Lace Skirt in the Garden

Lemon Tank | Asos

Cream Lace Skirt | Thrifted

     Jersey is truly the Garden State with the all its little gardens hidden throughout the state, off busy highways or tucked away in downtown districts. This is the perfect season to visit New Jersey because the weather isn't too hot, and all the flowers are in bloom so if you ever need a tour guide, let me know!

     I'm going back to my roots a bit with this beautiful thrifted skirt. It's so light and delicate that I was unable to capture all the intricate details. The only downside to thrifting is sometimes I find beautiful pieces that are just a bit too big for me, so I tend to rely on belts to remedy the situation.

     This outfit was perfect for brunch in Montclair, NJ (a cute downtown you must check out if you ever visit NJ!). The tank top was perfect for the sunny afternoon, but the skirt gave me enough coverage for whenever I was under the shade. Remind me next time to bring a cardigan though. With the weather warming up, businesses have started to blast the AC, and then I'll be the fool with a cold in the middle of summer!
