accessory

So I mentioned in a few posts back that I am working on the accessories part of my wardrobe since it's been lacking for quite some time. I started out small with some thrifted items and got some accessories thrown in with some other shopping and then BAM! I got sucked in.

I love white shirts in the Summer and I would've worn a belt with it just like it is pictured, so the included belt was just icing. And it all started with this one white dress shirt. Here's how the inner dialogue kinda went:

"Hm, I have white shirts, but I am really liking the ruffle detailing on this top. What's another white shirt? It's a basic. I'm getting it." :clicks ADD TO YOUR BAG:

"Oooh, but I just love wearing silver jewelry with whites in the Summer and look at all these cute leaves! I love this dangly one!" :clicks ADD TO YOUR BAG:

"Wow, and this filigree one looks awesome too!" :clicks ADD TO YOUR BAG:

"Oh, but I also love wearing turquoise with white in the Summer too!" :clicks ADD TO YOUR BAG:

"And they have it in black too? OMG, too cute!" :clicks ADD TO YOUR BAG:

The rest goes along in the same pattern until I realized I had an entire shopping cart of just accessories for Spring. Such a sucker.

Doesn't it feel good to get something you have wanted for a very long time but couldn't find? Meet my newest L.A.M.B treasure. How to wear it...

Rosary Style Necklace - $5.80

Really into rosaries right now for some reason, it goes so well with billowy tops for Spring. We have had one in our home, but it's been blessed and I feel a bit wrong about wearing it as a fashion statement. So I found a blue one the other day at a thrift shop and thought that desire was satiated until I spied this white and crystal one at F21. I feel a collection coming on.

It's been a real long time since I have shopped at a thrift store. Reason? Many of the shops in my area have the most boring and unimaginative clothes for more than what I can find in the clearance racks at retail stores. I mean nothing really from another era or from a quality designer. They all seem pretty recent articles and in horrible shape for an outrageous amount of money.

Anyway, the hubs is in the market for a hat/coat rack and can't seem to find one so we thought why not check out a thrift store? While there I actually took some time and found some great pieces. Like the above men's inspired loafers for $5.99.

Other items on the list:

blue crystal rosary $3.99

genuine leather belt $3.99

guitar strap inspired belt $3.99

Photos will be posted as I wear them...I hope. No rack found though.
