My Favorite Vintage Find to Date

While it seems like everyone is trying to sneak some Fall trends into their outfits (and hopefully force the hand of the season) I'm over here just trying to get one more wear out of my Summer wardrobe. I like to do this "challenge" (if you will) every time the seasons change, where I line up everything that hasn't been worn that past season on my clothing rack, in an attempt to separate the HAVES from the HAVE-BEENS. I am notoriously terrible at getting rid of things, but this is about as in-my-face as it gets analyzing what is truly just taking up space in my closet. 

I wish I could tell you that it's absolutely cutthroat (i.e. if I can't/don't wear that thing, out it goes!) but...like I said I'm really bad at getting rid of things so sometimes I keep them anyway. It's just not that black & white!

For example, THIS SKIRT, which is probably my best vintage find to date, will never get the boot, even if I don't wear it for one Summer. It's just gorgeous. 

You can follow along with this "challenge" on my blog Twitter, where I've been doing a decent job of documenting everyday.

I am sad to tell you two things: I lost these sunglasses over Labor Day Weekend, going down the slide on our pontoon boat! Considering I've already reached for them to complete an outfit more than once, I had to order a replacement immediately. These are no longer available at ban.do BUT, they have them in every color on Amazon, so that's cool.

Also sad, I had to list these slides on Poshmark. I love them, but I bought a 6 thinking they would run big (as Madewell/J.Crew shoes tend to do.) Well, they don't, and they're just a bit too snug. They are yours if you want them! I really do love them and am searching for a 6.5, or maybe I'll try a real mule instead (these Target ones are perfect.) 

I hope you all had a good weekend! I was getting over a weird sick thing and took it super easy...which is honestly very hard for me to do! There were many episodes of The O.C. involved.
