thrifty highlight i


So if you know me well, you know I love to hit up a goodwill or thrift shop every once in a while. I had this spot in Tulsa,OK called quality thrift. When I went to school in Oklahoma I was introduced to the art of thrifting. The idea of buying second hand clothing never really appealed to me until I got to college. Everybody at school was talking about this cool thrift shop in town so I thought I go see what all the hype was about. Since then I have been hooked. They always had the one of a piece {like most thrift shops} finds that consist of totally crazy patterns from 20 years back. I love to challenge myself to wear vintage finds and incorporate them with my modern day wardrobe.

The thrift find in this #ootd is the classic button up for your island get away. But for now it will be good enough for church today lol. It's loud + vibrant + tropical = my imaginary vacation outfitt

the simple life




 I love it when I think of outfits on a whim. I haven't really had the chance to wear this striped shirt I DIY'd earlier this summer. I wanted to wear it in a really creative way because I'm still not content with the state it is in right now {its still kinda over sized and boxy} so I layered it with a dress. Until I can think of something else to do with it, I'll just rock it. So I cut the original collar off to give it a wider neckline that isn't so constricting then cut the sleeves down a tad & tied on the good ole hair tie at the corner to bring it together.
