Wallflower: Eyelet Blouse + Printed Top + Metallic Dress

On some days, I would combine my vintage thrift finds with modern pieces I bought either from a local boutique or department store. I sometimes take advantage of SALE events because I can't bear to buy an expensive piece unless it's a basic piece that I can wear with various outfits. Today, everything I'm wearing is a vintage thrift find except for my shoes and accessories.

 VINTAGE ENSEMBLE:

 Tops: printed V-neck cream long-sleeved blouse (thrifted)

floral eyelet Ecru button-down blouse (thrifted)

Dress: blue metallic jumper dress (thrifted)

bag: faux fur fuzzy bag (thrifted)

shoes: ballet flats (local shop)

accessories: gold ruffled belt, pearl earrings & candy bracelet (local shops) 

I'm very particular about romantic little details in clothes.  Although my fashion style is pretty simple, tiny embellishments and small quirks make me happy.  So, even though the photos can tell you what I'm wearing, I'm still gonna talk about each piece so you'll know why I love them.  Besides, the photos are quite hazy.  I am really convinced that it's much better to do photo shoots during day time, do you agree?.

Okay, so here are the descriptions: The inner blouse I'm wearing is a long sleeved V-neck cotton shirt with sheer, chiffon piping on the neckline and the cuffs.  It is cream with novelty floral print.  I matched it with this blue metallic jumper dress with a ruffled, sweetheart neckline and a gold, ruffled belt.  I wore a three-fourths-sleeved button-down blouse over my outfit.  It has a floral eyelet design with Peter Pan collar.  The buttons are all covered with the same eyelet fabric and there's one cute button on each cuffs, too.  These three adorable pieces are all second-hand buys which I bought in excellent conditions.

 

  Oh and yes, the brown faux-fur handbag is also thrifted and it's one of my favorite bags to use because I love its soft and fuzzy texture.

Wallflower: Floral Vintage Dress

One of my favorite thrift finds is this floral vintage dress. I bought it a few years ago from a secondhand clothing shop for a little over a dollar. I love it not only because it was such a bargain but also because I have this thing about vintage floral patterns.  The dress is in light cream with yellow flowers and golden yellow piping on the neckline.  I got it in good condition - no stains or snags, and it fits me perfectly!

What's your favorite vintage piece in your closet?
