In the Sheer



Blouse: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: thrifted
Bag: thrifted
Shoes: Jessica Simpson

I bought this lace skirt one day when I went to three thrift stores and couldn’t find anything else that I liked. This was at my third stop, the Goodwill in Arcadia, and I kept asking myself if I was buying it just because I didn’t want my day of hunting to be pointless. I think it was a good choice, though. I like the lace pattern a lot, and the skirt is lined, and it has an elastic waist that fits well. Because of the black waistband, I felt like I had to try this skirt out with my black-accented Urban Outfitters blouse...they seemed to belong together.

  1. The subtle pattern on that skirt is really lovely, and paired with a loose-fitting blouse, the overall effect is so pretty and romantic. Also, I noticed that you were featured on calivintage's tumblr yesterday and wanted to say congrats! I'm mad about that gal's style, and I was excited to see you pop up on my tumblr feed. :)

  4. They do belong together! I love the black and white aspect of this outfit ;) That top is so cute! I'd totally wear it, but not sure if I can pull it off.

  5. I definitely feel like that thrifting too--like I need to buy SOMETHING to make the day worth it. And I've definitely acquired some really awesome things that way too.

    That top is so pretty :)

  6. They do seem to belong together.. I almost thought it was a dress at first. I like how all the pale colours create this look of pared-down glamour. Hehe, that sounded kind of pretentious, but I like this look. : )

  9. That skirt is fantastic, even if you didn't absolutely love it at first. Sometimes the best pieces I've ever gotten were ones I thought, "why not?" at.

  10. This blouse and skirt are a dream together. I like this look a lot. Well, I wanted to stop in and say hello after seeing your super sweet Dapper Camper photo make the Tumblr rounds (I actually reblogged it, too! Hehe). I love pairing a cardigan with shorts, but never thought to throw saddle shoes into the mix. I'm so going to do that one of these days! :)
