So.... before I go and start my rambling on this outfit, may I just say: I LOVE my new purse! Isn't it it just lovely?! I FINALLY managed to buy this purse after keeping my eye on it for a few months now. I saw this beauty while thrifting with my mom a few months ago at our local thrift store. It had been sitting on the shelf, being ignored by everyone, and collecting dust. But because I saw it's true beauty I could not pass it on any longer. The purse is from the 50s early 60s, and it has a two pockets and one in the middle that closes with some king of gold hardware. I'm not really sure what you call those but I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about. So this Saturday, I snatched it up and made it my own! Not only did I buy a few other goodies at this this thrift store but, my mother and I managed to go to a new thrift store in Petaluma and boy, did we score big!
At the one in Petaluma, I managed to acquire this beautiful hand painted necklace. I'm not sure from what time period it could be, but I knew I had to have it. Plus, it has flowers on it and you guys know of my love for anything floral.
So as for the outfit, I had been wanting to get shorts like this for a while now and I finally bit the bullet, when I was shopping at Forever 21 with my friend. I am really liking the sorts with stockings trend because it allows me to show some leg, without REALLY showing leg. Ha ha. Do you guys like it? Oh and as for my white button-up, I'm trying to adjust to it because I don't really like to wear white but people tell me it looks good on me, so I may just wear it a bit more. Please share your opinions with me on the matter and thanks to all my followers who continue on supporting my blog, even when I haven't been posting regularly. I really appreciate it!!!

A Flower In The Rough






Skirt, Top, Necklace: Forever 21
Sandals: Kohl's
Purse: Thrifted
Sunglasses: Ray Bans

What is it about picking outfits, that just when you think you got it right, you actually got it wrong. Oh and by this, I mean in picking to wear this quarter-sleeved sweater-like top in 80+ degree weather. Why, oh why.... do I continue on torturing myself in order to stay fashionable??!! I mean where do we draw the line??!! Isn't there some point in our search for an outfit, that we start thinking realistically as opposed to unrealistically?
Oh well, at least I thought this outfit was cute! What do you guys think?? I probably should have consulted with the weatherman as opposed to sticking to my own opinions on the weather, huh?Oh and isn't my new thrift find cute? I found it at a new thrift store on Saturday along with another beauty I shall be sharing with you guys soon.
