Petite Panoply

Happy Wednesday everyone! I just have a very casual outfit to show you today. I've had this vintage Lacoste cardigan hanging around and it's never worn enough so I decided to create an outfit around it. I found it in the women's sweater section at a Goodwill up in Illinois and snatched it up. It's pretty oversized on me and I think that's because it's actually a men's cardigan. It's just such a great color despite being a little big on me. I make the oversized fit work by pairing it with more fitted clothes and by showing plenty of leg.  I'm a big fan of the colors in this outfit. That's probably mostly due to the fact that my shorts and shoes match perfectly. Sometimes it's good to be matchy matchy! Plus something about cobalt blue next to a saturated teal makes me very happy. cardigan: lacoste - goodwill | top and shorts: forever 21 | tights: walmart | shoes: delia's This cardigan is clearly oversized on me not only be...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Here's another outfit featuring the color green for you. I guess I'm on a green kick lately! I wore this outfit a couple weeks back on a pretty lazy day. The temperature here has been up and down so bare legs were just fine that day. I hadn't worn my 60's vintage sweater this winter yet, so I figured I better get on that since it just keeps getting warmer here. This skirt will be getting more wear in the upcoming months too. It's one of my favorite thrift finds because the colors in the pattern are so pretty. There's so much color in this outfit. I love it! You guys know I'm not afraid of color. At least the shoes were a neutral! They're new. I keep acquiring more and more shoes with nowhere to put them. It's a problem. Also how about this giant hair bow? I'm feeling it. And now I'm just rambling. I'll stop so you can look at the pictures. sweater, skirt: thrifted vintage | shoes: rack room shoes | head...

It's Friday! I wore this colorful floral skirt and blue 50s sweater to class yesterday. I'd brought this outfit home over spring break with every intention of wearing it, but that never happened because it was pretty cool outside that week. I figured yesterday was the perfect day to wear it since it wasn't too hot for the knit top yet.  I don't get a ton of use out of this sweater because it's rarely a moderate temperature in Georgia, but it's still a great piece to have in my closet. I won it on a Paraders Vintage giveaway a year or so ago. You can't beat this pretty sky blue color! vintage sweater: baar & beards - paraders vintage | skirt: homemade by mom | shoes: self esteem - shoe carnival | necklace - gift Jeanie and I were going to learn a bit of sewing from Mom a couple summers back, but that didn't end up happening so Mom just made the skirts for us.

I forgot I had this sweater! I thrifted it around a year ago and it ended up in a bag of cold-weather clothes that I had yet to completely empty this year. It's such a pretty color, but I had a little bit of trouble finding a skirt to pair with it. (Now I'm thinking maybe a floral skirt next time?) I also didn't remember it's a vintage sweater, which is a nice surprise! The tag looks 50's early 60's. I found what I think is the same exact sweater style in pastel polka dots on Etsy.  Anyway, I decided the bright green sweater needed to be paired with my black and blue houndstooth skirt, which is also a thrift find. Both the skirt and top were $1 or less. Hooray bargains!  I just really liked the colors in this outfit. Blue and green are a great match in my book! vintage 60s sweater: garland - thrifted | skirt: thrifted | shoes, hair bow, earrings: forever 21 | tights: kmart | belt: from mom | fan pin: from grandma It was a gray smokey...

I finally got a chance to wear my new vintage 50's sweater from The Paraders Vintage shop. It was just warm enough and cool enough to wear the short sleeved sweater. The color is so pretty, I love it. I paired it with a vintage skirt I thrifted. top:  vintage via The Paraders Vintage skirt: thrifted vintage shoes: ross dress for less flower hair clip: forever 21 necklace: from Italy Ew feets. But I do enjoy how much my sandals matched my skirt. And orange and pink together. It's Friday!! I'm pretty excited. I get to hang out with my very best friend from high school tonight. I really want to make margaritas, but we'll see. I hope everyone else has a nice weekend!
