It's going to be sad when I go back to ny and can no longer
shop at my favorite thrift stores.

Alone Together

This outfit makes me wonder about the previous owners of
all these items ... Life's mysteries.

and shoes but refrained - almost regretting it now ...

White Lips Kissed

I've officially succeeded in becoming paler in the Missouri
heat. I don't quite understand it, but it has happened.

I designed this crop top/ skirt set from an old floor length
dress hat I picked up in a thrift store. I am so so happy
with how it turned out -

Come Fly Away

I have had these jeans for months but they are so large on
me that I have to wear them perfectly or they look a bit like
they're eating me. I love them though!

Revitalization

After spending the first half of my summer traveling the world,
I have used the last month to relax, unwind and think.

July 27, 2013 - Revitalization

Hello all,

After spending the first half of my summer traveling the world, I have used the last month to relax, unwind and think. A lot. The majority of my thinking has been centered around my lifestyle and how I can improve it. I've come up with a lot of ways, and one of them includes spending much much less time and energy on encouraging consumerism.

...

I don't even shop that much - it may come as a surprise, as I'm a fashion blogger, but I honestly don't buy a lot of clothes. When I do buy clothes I am incredibly cheap - I generally only buy things on sale or things from thrift stores in Missouri - really really cheap ones.

I will no longer be accepting free clothes that I don't need from companies that I've never even heard of. I will still post outfits, but I will only wear secondhand clothing (and the clothing I already own) in my posts. I can't give up my love of styling outfits for myself, but I can give up the wasteful lifestyle that comes along with it and I can promote an alternative lifestyle - one that doesn't destroy the planet as quickly.

In the last month I've also made another massive life decision...
