Well, the weekend has come to a close. I feel like that Loverboy song, Working for the Weekend, haha. I went out on Friday night with my friend Rebecca. We went up to the bar at the top of that super nice hotel, you know, trolling for swell fellows. We actually ended up meeting some guys, two of which latched on to us like velcro. I so am not into meeting guys at bars, well, I'm not really into meeting guys at all at this time in my life. It was funny though. It was nice being social, I guess. If you're a boy, you should know that my company usually costs about two or three rum and cokes. Phone number not guaranteed. I know what I like.

I went thrifting this weekend too. Found some pretty neat things. Some florals! Speaking of florals, I absolutely adored this dress on Tieka, so I was thrilled when she sent it over to me! I always love re-envisioning dresses as tops or skirts. It seems to really expand a wardrobe. I've been kind of in a rut lately, so I'm hoping that looking at my closet with new eyes will freshen things up. Also, it hit 50 degrees here today, so we had a good melt. Hopefully the trend will continue and summery times will ensue.
I've been really wanting to splurge on some new vintage pieces, but I'm trying so hard to save money. But maybe I can live vicariously through you guys. I thought I'd share some of my favorite vintage shops online. For now I'm stuck scrimping and saving and window shopping. My next paycheck is going towards school loans instead of Winnebagoing, so I'm trying hard to resist superfluous spending.
Oh, and before I forget. I'm working on opening up a sort of "shop my closet" type thing. I was lazy this weekend and haven't finished it up, but I hope to share it with you all very soon!

amazing outfit! love the skirt.
I'm excited to see your "shop my closet!"
Rum and coke? My kind of woman! Haha.
I love all the patterns, textures and colors you've mixed here.
I was camping recently and managed to 'roll' down a hill into a mess of those pokey thorny sticks.
Needless to say, I wasn't the happiest bunny that weekend...
As for florals, I always thought I hated them but I seem to find myself warming more and more as time passes: I have a few such dresses in mind for upcoming birthday presents, so hopefully they'll be well received! x

I love your skirt and I love how you turned the dress into a top!
Man it hit 50 degrees here and I feel the opposite of you...it's terrible! It needs to come on back up to 80 degrees.
Im loving the matching hair and skirt!!!

those boots get me every time!
Oh wow, I'd never recognized this as Tieka's dress if you hadn't said it. You styled it completely different, but it looks really cool! I envy you for this skirt! I want a leather skirt so badly, but the only ones I find are superduper short minis.
Ah yes and thanks for the vintage links, I'll be occupied with them for hours now I guess :)
I absolutely love those boots you're wearing! I have seen you wear them many times on your photos and always wish there would have been a close up just so I can drool over them ;) ! I really wish there was a minnetonka in the UK because shipping rates are so expensive! Plus there are loads of stores from the US that are not available here, such as forever 21 and it's kinda annoying! However I just love reading your blog and seeing how well you're reinventing your wardrobe, it's inspiring!

Social Distortion - as in the band? If so I might have to consider you one of my favorite bloggers!
And I really love the way you're wearing this dress, it's so refreshing to see items worn in unconventional ways. Just because it's a dress doesn't mean it can't be a skirt, right?
xox
I love this outfit! I can't wait for your shop, I'd be sure to buy something.
haha I love your dating requirements
and that skirt!
i love your top with the scarf - the two different prints mixed together are fabulous!
Beautiful.....
:)
Oh my boots. I love them with your skirt, and hair... and scarf. Yep, I like it all.
I've had problems with wanting-but-can't-buy as well. Oh well, paying bills helps with not having any left over in which to buy things :)
xx,
Dee
I love your whole outfit and those boots are soo cool!

I like your skirt, your boots, Tieka's dress and rum and coke. Though my company may cost 4-5 of them...
I'm loving the mix of all the colors and patterns here!
Dresses as tops is my favoooorite wardrobe-expander. You look gorgeous! Love that skirt.
Thrifting, hm? Any luck on the denim shorts?
I lovee how you styled this! Using it as a top is perfect - I'll definitely have to try that later on with it! I have a couple new dresses that I haven't styled up yet, but when I'm finished when them I'll send them over your way. I love love love sharing clothes with you!
all the clothes are so harmonically combined, every single piece!!
Fantastic photo shoot! Also I'm super super jealous of your hair and your style ;)
