oldies but goodies

Dress: Ruche// Cardi: F21// Belt: H&M// Tights: ModCloth// Irregular Choice Scottie Dog heels via ModCloth
In keeping on with shopping my closet, I am happy with all the pretty things I keep finding on the shelves and racks (it really is like a store in there - but shopping in a real one would be even more fun). For instance, these whimsical little heels. How cute are they?! I've had them for quite a while now and I still can't get over the scottie dog, the polka dot bows, & the hearts...guh! And this cardigan, I've had forever but only worn once! But this sweet, creamy lace dress I've worn the crap out of. (Shown on the blog once before here.) I suppose this shopping dry spell I'm in has really given me a new appreciation for all those "old" items that were feeling left out. I hate to think these darling doggy shoes ever felt like they were not good enough :)

  3. I have been feeling the same way about a lot of my things. When you can't shop, your pretty forced to dig through everything! I had to go shopping the other day for pants that I need for work and came across so many cute dresses! I wanted to cry because I couldn't buy them :( Soon I will! I actually have an Owl dress waiting for me to buy it from Asian icandy. My first paycheck and that baby is getting shipped!!! I also need new glasses in the worse way....your are super cute! Your whole outfit is adorable :) I hope your having a great day!

    Xo,

    1. Yup! I have no choice right now, so my eyes are looking at things in a much different light. hehe Whereas before I just scanned right over all these old gems. Such a shame.
      Oh, girl I know! I've been still making my online wishlists but when I see something that is so beautiful, I am terrified that by the time I get the money for it, it won't be there anymore or get restocked. I can just cry my eyes out myself. It's so heartbreaking. You are not alone! haha
      Sending good vibes for you to be able to get back to shopping, too!! xo

    1. Thanks, Minja! These are actually little heels/pumps. They just look like flats since the heel is black. hehe :)
      And that is sooo sweet! I'm super happy that my little blog makes your day! I love yours, too!

  5. how are you not wearing those shoes everyday? I mean really, they are wicked cute. I dont think you are giving them the attention they deserve and as such you should just hand them over to me ;)

  7. Those shoes!!!!!!! Could they be any cuter? I want to shop your closet. I would probably get lost in there, haha. Too many wonderful things to chose from. I really like to force myself to shop my closet. Now that I can see what I own it is much easier. I definitely went on a massive ModCloth shopping spree tonight - whoops! I am packing things up to sell and give away to GoodWill tomorrow though...

    Rambling here. Anwyho, this look is adorable on you. The bright blue and mustard tights are perfect together!

    1. My closet isn't that big, but it is pretty bad ass, I must say :D
      You could totally wear and borrow whatever you wanted - I wish we were neighbors or something. I am loving the look of your new closet! And I can't believe you ever had things in boxes or folded up - that's uber hard to know what you've got!
      I can't wait to see what you got from ModCloth!!!! Yay!! I am living vicariously through all my friends and their shopping sprees right now, hahah. It's quite sad. :)
      Thanks for reminding me; I am months late on loading up a bag to give to Good Will. I said I'd do that so long ago and Mikey's got his bag ready...it's just sitting in the middle of our bedroom floor. Lol, sloppy boys.
      I've told you about your "rambling". It's okay! I ramble like nobody's business! :))
      Thanks for the fun comment, Allison. Your comments always make me so happy. Like we're here "rambling" on together, in person. Oh, how awesome would THAT be?!

    1. Thanks, Jessica!! I'm so glad you found my blog, btw. :)
      And geez, I have so many tattoos it'd take forever to say them all, but the ones you can see here are my Alex tattoo (for A Clockwork Orange) and my James Dean portrait. Both are done in a fun, pop art way.

  10. That cardi is the bomb! You look hot in everything though and those shoes make me squeal!! I love finding the old treasures in my closet that I grow back into again. It's the best feeling reusing and restoring old stuff that you "grew out of".

    1. Yay!! You're back!! Oh, how I've missed you ♥
      Thank you for making my head get bigger ;) And yeah, I've had a blast with all my old gems. It happens when you can't buy anything else haha

  11. You look so beautiful in blue! It's all about reworking the outfits in your closet, mix and matching. But those shoes, sooo cute! I use to have a similar pair of flats.
