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.

I meant to post these a while back, but life got in the way so I just recently was able to retouch them. These were taken at Sleepy Hallow cemetery. This white lace dress has to be one of my favorites and I regret not wearing it as often as I'd like to. I found it at a thrift shop in Atlanta about a year ago. It fits perfectly! And not only that, but is super comfortable and very warm. Making it the perfect winter dress. The socks are from Urban Outfitters. As much as I try to avoid shopping at places like UO, I will say that they have the best selection of socks. My boots are from another thrift shop. I love how they have a Victorian era feel to them. In fact, I would say this whole outfit is inspired by that era.
