friday, drizzly friday

Thrifted denim jacket, sweater, and skirt, Kinies bag, Yosi Samra flats

Here I am wearing my two very favorite thrifted items. This denim jacket found me last year, and as you can see I even wear it in the rain! Not the most sensible thing to wear when it's wet out, but that is how much I love it. I found the pleated floral maxi just a couple weeks ago at a vintage shop about thirty minutes from my house.

I paired them with my new Yosi Samra flats, and if you've searched high and low for the perfect pair of ballet flats then I definitely recommend these to you! I'm actually kinda convinced that I cannot live without these babies. I bought basic black leather, but there are so many pretty colors and prints to choose from (which I know I will need more of!).

I have been away from the blog world for a couple of days with a sickness, and I can't wait to get back to reading your blogs and catching up on comments once I'm cured. I hope you all have a great weekend!

  56. I absolutely love your maxi- what a great thrift find! And I totally understand what you mean about the denim jacket... When you live somewhere rainy, sometimes you just have to bring out your favourite dry weather pieces, even if it isn't practical :)

  60. K how is it seriously possible for you to look so cute every single day? Seriously though. And the fact that you find most of your clothes thrifted as opposed to spending thousands of dollars makes me like you 10x more. :)
    I hope you're starting to feel better now. I hate being sick.
