Just Go With It...

Okay so I have been slacking lately life has just been kicking my butt this week. I don't want to go into details of my personal life on my fashion blog but lets just say I've been trying to be more honest and life is just getting really messy. Kinda like my hair today... My hair is really temperamental and I have to give it a lot of attention right after I wash it or scary things can happen. Alas today I was distracted after washing my hair by the new Tunnel Vision stock witch was INSANE!!! I totally got some goodies and wish I had more money to buy more of there amazing stuff, they have sooooo much great stuff!!! Anyways my hair ended up parting itself in the middle, flipping out at the ends, and being really poofy. So I decided to just make the best of it and just go with it so I gelled the heck out of my hair kept the part and the flipyness and ended up with this super 90's hairdo. Not my normal hairdo but I kinda dig it.

Red and Green in a Not Christmas-y Way

So I had no intention of blogging today. I woke up and basically threw on whatever was closest without thinking about it. When my husband Ben got home from school he said he liked my outfit and asked if we were taking pictures of it for the blog and I was basically like what outfit? I looked in the mirror and when oh this is kinda interesting, I love it when outfits just organically happen, when you throw things on and it somehow magically works.

Hat- Thrifted

Thermal- ? I've had it for like 9 years

Floral Top- Vintage

Flannel- Thrifted

Love and Peace,

Kelsey

 

Less is More

Ben is always making fun of me for liking "wide" clothing.

Wearing:

Sweater- When to Wear

Jeans- Ross 

Shoes- Ralph Lauren

I've been crazy busy this week with adding new things to the store, organizing new things for the store, DIY projects, going to the post office to ship things to my wonderful customers, and taking pictures and whatnot. As a result I have been dressing a lot more simply then normal, less is more, at least for today anyway.

When Ben and I first started dating we were both totally broke so we ate macncheese and brownies. That's become our tradition and we do it every year although now we buy nice macaroni from a restaurant and use  Ghirardelli brownie mix life is good! Hope everyone else had a good vday too!

And here is a random picture of my simple lunch I had today...

 

Love and peace,

Purple Pandas

Okay so I just started blogging and I'm already terrible at having regular posts, it's just hard to stay motivated when it feels like no one cares about or reads your blog. Anyhow trying to stay positive, and post lots this week, and add lots to the store this week, and hopefully get over this weird super 80's thing I have been stuck in lately. So sorry this is the most 80's outfit ever, seriously idk why I had to wear this on Saturday (I had all the best intentions of posting this on Saturday it just didn't happen) but I did lol. On the bright side I love the shade of purple on this dress and pandas are fun. = D

Acid Wash Jacket, normally I love them when they are worn in a less overly 80s way.

I have been debating turning this dress into a mini dress. I think it would be a lot more faltering that way but I just love the shear amount of purple in this dress.

I lived in "jelly" shoes as a kid I kind of feel like a five year old in this outfit.

The wind was being stupid...

Strait Hair, it happens once in a while

Wearing:

Jacket- Coming soon to When to Wear

Sweater- When to Wear

Dress- Coming soon to When to Wear

Socks- Thrifted

Jelly Shoes- Thrifted

Earrings- Random gift shop at Rocky Mountain National Park

Here are some new fun things added to the shop today! 

Whenever I wear purple I think of the movie Everything is Illuminated and this super radsauce song "Start Wearing Purple" by Gogol Bordello, if you don't know them then they are a super funnzies Gypsy Punk Band and if you do know them then lets be bff!

 

Love and Peace,

Kelsey

 

Willow

Okay so maybe it's just me but I tend to always be inspired by the "sidekicks" in television shows. Like in one of my favorite shows (and yes I know I'm totally admitting to the interwebs that I'm a total sci-fi geek) Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I always loved how Willow dressed. Yeah Buffy was awesome, had super powers, and wore lots of rad leather things but Willow, I mean come on! All those sweaters, tights, collars, overalls, and skirts! She was perfect in my book. So for your viewing pleasures pictures of Willow...

So today I felt like dressing like Willow how do you think I did?

Oh yeah, I also got my haircut!

And I was lazy today so I'm wearing my glasses, but I think it kind of goes with the whole school-girl outfit.

I love Creepers and Backpacks!

I promise when some more snow melts we will take pictures somewhere other then in front of this door!

Wearing:

Sweater- When to Wear 

Shirt- When to Wear

Skirt- Thrifted

Tights- Target

Creepers- When to Wear

Backpack- Coming soon to When to Wear

So what television characters inspire your fashion?

Shoulder Pads

Shoulder pads, shoulder pads, shoulder pads. I don't know why I love shoulder pads so much but I do. Today having giant shoulder pads on my top was just not enough I had to put a jacket with shoulder pads over it. It just had to happen.

Sorry this is the only pic with the jacket all the way on, I need to practice posing in front of the mirror or something because I looked like an idiot in over half of the pictures we took today.

I seriously need a haircut, hence hiding my hair in the hat.

Purple frog ring?!? I love this thing so much it's basically glued to my finger.

Wearing:

Top- When to Wear 

Jacket- When to Wear

Pants- Coming soon When to Wear

Pumps- Maurices

Hat- Target

Jewelery- The Parker Shoppes

Sorry for not having a lot of new stock or posts last week but I was really sick. Thankfully I'm finally feeling better today so I'm working like crazy to get lots of great vintage goodies up on the store this weekend! Wishing everyone a blissfully wonderful weekend and my amazing sister in law Jenn Dean a fabulous birthday!

Love and Peace,

Kelsey

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

So much snow! I live in Cedar City UT, its basically a little town in the middle of nowhere and all you need to know is that the weather is bipolar here. Yesterday it was so nice and sunny and this morning I woke up to a big pile of snow on the ground! All I want to do today is stay inside under lots of blankets with a big mug of hot coco but I really wanted to wear this dress today. It's new in the store this week and unique in that you don't normally see this style dress with a fishtail hem so I wanted to show you how I would style it.  

Behind me you can see the front door of our basement apartment, we took the pictures here because there was too much snow everywhere else!

Love the fishtail skirt!

I'm kind of totally obsessed with having pockets on my dresses.

I look like a total dork in this last one but I like the movement of the skirt in this picture. This was the shortest photo shoot ever my wonderful husband Ben took about a dozen photos and then we ran back inside to get warm!

Wearing:

Dress- when to wear

Thigh highs- Gift

Clogs- Thrifted UGGS

Jewelry- the parker shoppes

Side note who knew that UGG made cute shoes or for that matter any shoes other then the "UGG boots" I was so pleasantly surprised when I saw these at my local D.I. (a thrift store similar to Good Will).  I mean seriously I'm in love with these shoes  from their website!

Hope everyone is having better weather then we are having here!
