About my outfit: I found this sweater last year and fell in love. It is a little big on me, so often times I will belt it. This creates some waist definition so my petite frame doesn't get swallowed up and lost in translation. It also keeps the sweater closed since it doesn't have a clasp or any buttons (possibly it had a corresponding belt many years ago...who knows). I kept everything pretty fitted underneath to balance out the proportions. My boots tie in the red in the sweater and I just wore my navy top as a "neutral" while tying in the blue in the sweater.
I would like to say an early Happy Birthday to my Mom. Her birthday is tomorrow and I'm so excited because we are going to meet in Raleigh tomorrow for a little lunch and shopping date! The BF is tagging along, but we are hoping he will catch a movie while we take care of business :) I've always been thankful for what my Mom was able to hold on to, but keeping this blog let's me really see all the amazing vintage treasures I've been so lucky to have handed down to me, as well as many new pieces that have been given as gifts. So, I'd just like to take this time to say: I love you, Mom!!!
