Roses and Lace

Yet another almost entirely thrifted outfit of mine (everything except the bag and hat). Since moving to NYC, I have found the best inexpensive treasures at thrift shops. Seriously, there are so many options and they offer a variety of clothing that can fit any style. This amazing velvet rose printed skirt is Betsey Johnson and cost under thirty dollars. I absolutely love this skirt and get complimented EVERY time I wear it out. I paired it with this black laced leotard that I got for, wait for it....one dollar. One single dollar. Amazing, right? It fits perfectly. It's actually the first leotard I have ever bought, believe it or not. I'm not really a fan of leotards or one pieces, but this one caught my eye. And I can't pass up a deal like that. To me, this outfit is perfect for both day and night. And I feel it can be worn all year round. And as always, a leather jacket can top the look.

Flowers and Frills

  

I am so ready for spring! Even though it is just now starting to get cold in NYC, I am preparing my wardrobe for spring season. I don't really enjoy wearing colors, but when I do, I chose to go for the darker shades. In this case, I chose a dark emerald suede skirt that I picked up from Zara.  I paired it this top I found at Top Shop. I love the pink detailed flowers and frill on the collar. It reminds me of Victorian fashions. Considering the busy detail of the top, I chose not to wear any jewelry aside from a few rings. I also decided to keep the shoes simple and wear neutral toned tights with the skirt.
