True Parents




A bunch of fantastic murals and a pair of crazy awesome Victorian inspired boots.
We had time to hit up the local Salvation Army where I found some fall heels.
And a cozy sweater, a western style belt...
A black wast cinch-er..
A pink wrap shirt, a black silk skirt, a pink belt...
A white button down, and a black vest. (something I've been craving for fall.)
Decided to play around with a menswear inspired look today. I am so excited about the white tights! I bought them yesterday on a last minute school supplies trip to Target. I've been looking for white tights since last May but couldn't find them anywhere. (You'd be surprised how unhelpful the Forever 21 salespeople are. They gave me funny looks when I asked about colored tights, and completely denied the existence of leotards.) Anyways, turns out they were just waiting patiently for me over in the little girls department. Why is it they only make cool tights for the under 12 crowd?
Dress- Target $20
Tie- one of my dad's.
White tights- Target $4.99
Shoes- thrift store $2.99
Hat- Also my dad's. It's to small for him, so he hasn't worn it in a while. I kid you not, when I found it, the hat was so dusty it looked gray. I had to take a vacuum cleaner to it.
Recent purchases not pictured- the huge fall fashion issue of Vogue, a beautiful grey portfolio/folder/drawing pad for mine and my sister's designs, more patterned and colored tights than any one person could ever possibly need.
