Wardrobe Wonders: Outfit Post #5

Yesterday, Chicago was sizzling hot, with temperatures reaching damn near 90 degrees! For a good portion of the afternoon I tried to stay inside as much as possible, first spending two and half hours at the thrift store hunting for new merch for my etsy shop and then working on some things and thangs from home (etsy shop and non-etsy related) in the good ol' a.c.

I had several AMAZING finds while out vintage hunting yesterday, one of which being this incredible late 50s Mexican themed wicker picnic bag that I had to keep for myself. I spiffed it up and took it out on the town to work last night and then out with my some of my girlfriends after that.



Halter top: 1980s swimsuit top
Skirt: 1950s cotton cherry blossom print full skirt
Handbag: 1950s Mexican themed wicker picnic bag
Shoes: thrifted deadstock italian dance shoes with peep toes (these are my go-to's!)
Earrings: vintage (70s?) native beaded drop earrings

Wardrobe Wonders: Outfit Post #2

With yet another day of miraculously wonderful hot and sweaty weather in Chicago, as it appears as though we've just missed spring completely and gone straight for summer, I figured I'd attempt to keep up with the wardrobe "Joneses" thus far. Today, it's been so damn hot, my closet picks don't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but the idea was to pretty much wear as little clothing as humanly possibly, as it's about 90 degrees outside right now.

After fiddling around with this and that, here's what I ended up walking out in:


Top/mini-dress: 1960s Fuschia Hawaiian Tiki Print beach mini-dress
Shorts: an old & overwashed pair of Sass&Bide cut off shorts
Belt: vintage Southwestern Woven Scorpion belt
Shoes: 70s inspired chocolate suede and wicker wedges by MIA
Earrings: from Crossroads Trading Co.
