Thrifting

I absolutely love going into second hand stores and finding the coolest accessories and clothing for next to nothing.  I'm usually luckiest finding jewelry and the past two days was no exception.  A trip to value village yesterday, a local second hand store yesterday, under $60 spent and a whole lot of goodness was the outcome of my shopping excursions.  Unfortunately, because my camera isn't working and my sister isn't around to use hers, I was stuck using an ipod, which as you can see, didn't work that great.

Runway 2 Reality: 3.1 Phillip Lim

My inspiration for outfits and clothing is taken from so many places; blogs, the public, elements of nature and of course, runway collections, are all huge contributors to how I put together what I wear.  Here, I have taken pieces from 3.1 Phillip Lim, and put together a look that is similar but much more realistic-in my world.  I kept the original Phillip Lim jeans, because they aren't expensive comparing them with other designer jeans and they are pretty cool.  The handbag is from here, the ankle boots here and the tank here.
