Skirts From France and Battle of the Bangs

What is new since last week?If you don't follow me on Facebook or Twitter than you're just now finding out that my bangs are back.I'm mostly glad too but there is of course a smidge of remorse over not being able to stick with it,but C'est la vie.

I've also been bad about outfit posts so I thought I'd get one in before I get too rusty.Today I wore the vintage skirt I picked up yesterday while thrifting.There is a cool little thrift shop in town that separates the vintage from the normal donated clothes but still keeps MOST things thrift shop reasonable,others sadly not so much.This skirt was made in Paris,France which automatically makes it cooler to me for some reason.And the fact that I talked the guy down from $20.00 to $12.00 also helps.

I scored my 60's blouse years ago off ebay.I was a little disappointed in my blouse department this morning.I really need to have a better variety.I think a navy nylon blouse would be perfect with the skirt.*Note to self keep eyes open for blouses.I have a ton of skirts but rarely anything to pair them with most of them time,tsk,tsk!Didn't get a close up but there are my awesome $1.00 bakelite hoop earrings.

  2. You're ok with your ballet slippers, they've haven't reached Amy Winehouse level of decay just yet!

    Great skirt/blouse combo and am loving your fringe. Still toying with the idea of getting one cut back in.
