Modern Looks + Vintage Boots

Happy New Year's Eve! It's Amanda (and it's been a while!). We have been enjoying our holiday break, being lazy.  But sales have been keeping us pretty busy, and we're looking forward to lots of great things in the new year!

I am jealous of Jayme in Pennsylvania (as well as a lot of other bloggers) who has snow on the ground!  We had some snow that turned to rain and made things gross. If it's going to be cold, I'd at least like some pretty white stuff to look at.  I did some virtual shopping to create three snowy-weather looks with vintage boots from the shop (all 30% off until tomorrow). And in keeping with our thrifty theme, all the modern pieces are under $50 (most under $30 thanks to after-holiday sales and coupons!).

1. bohemian mini dress- $29.99, Tinley Road via Piperlime 2. colored tights- $28, Pretty Polly via RevolveClothing 3. slub knit cardigan - $49 via Dorothy Perkins 4. campus boots- $47.60

1. key print scarf -$10 via Old Navy 2. spaceknit sweater-$24.99, Tulle via Piperlime 

3. skinny cords- $36.99 via Gap 4. vintage hiking boots-$30.10

1. striped beanie-$24.99 via Gap  2. graphic tee - $16.99, Junk Food via 6pm.com 3. belted cardigan-$35 via Old Navy  4. coated skinny jeans-$29.99, BDG via Urban Outfitters,  

5. vintage riding boots-$45.50

Which look is your favorite for a cold day? I would love a good pair of campus boots of my own to wear with tights and dresses...

Happy almost-new-year, friends!

Amanda

Outfit Post: Vintage (Post-)Modernist

Happy February! Can you believe it?

I was so excited to head up to Kensington, Maryland to do some antique shopping with Q and Aurora on Saturday that I even got dressed up. The shops in Kensington are individual buildings that are all connected, so you walk around outside to get to each one.  A heavy coat and boots were necessary for post-snow weather.

Unfortunately, when we got there, most of the shops were closed because they'd lost power in the snowstorm a few days earlier!  I was in a pretty grumpy mood, so we drove into the city and got sandwiches at an old favorite market, which made the day a little brighter.

 THE BOOTS!  One of my best vintage finds ever.

And the coup d'etat, this camel trench:  it's Banana Republic and I thrifted it for $8!  It's a classic, and I love how it looks with the fur collar.

More outfits to come!  We've been updating the shop, so be sure to check it out!
