Hand Me Downs

Do you know whats better than a pair of Frye boots? A pair of FREE Frye boots. These babies were my dads and when I went home at Christmas I told him about how I was looking at a few pairs. One day he came downstairs all excited and showed me these. He was so nice and cute about it and told me they just needed a good cleaning and I could have them. In all honesty I wasn’t too thrilled about them at first. But after a couple wears they fit perfect and started to grow on me and I knew I could make them work. They were pretty unique in color and I loved that they were 30 or so years old. Sometimes its fun to have a statement piece and plan the rest of your outfit around it. I tend to do this a lot with shoes and I did that with these boots. I love vintage hand me down clothes. My grandmother has given me some old belts and costume jewelry and its so fun to wear. Just because something is old doesn’t mean you can’t give it new life! It inspired me to look through some of my old things and if you live near your parents, grandparents, etc maybe they have some old things they don’t wear anymore and they wouldn’t mind parting with. Even if initially you don’t like it you would be surprised with what you can do with something. Don’t let the fact that it belonged to a guy stop you either. Have an open mind here! I bet you guys will come up with some awesome ways to wear old pieces. Clothes and pieces from the past usually come back into style anyway. 

Oh also, this jacket is the best thing ever. I got it at Forever 21 for 40% off! All their outerwear is on sale right now and they have some way cute stuff. Its super comfy and I love the way I feel in it.

All J.Crew All The Time

I love classic pieces and maybe that’s why I love J.Crew and J. Crew Factory so much. You may spend a little more on the pieces but they don’t really go out of style. I love the quality of the materials as well, they last forever. Let me add I seriously only go to J.Crew when they have their amazing sales, these pieces were all 50% off! This outfit is kind of preppy but I love it. This white oxford is one of my favorite pieces because you can use it as a layering piece and basically wear it with anything and have tons of different looks. 

This vest is the newest gift from my very amazing and attentive husband! I have constantly been watching one at all times on Ebay but never asked for one or thought of purchasing one but he surprised me and bid on it without me knowing since he was gone for so long. I love it and have lusted after it for so long! I have tried it on with so many things and it is seriously perfect. Just FYI they run a little bit big so if you’re a small you’d probably need an extra small and so on. Its so soft and very comfy! This skirt is so comfy and has an elastic band so you can tuck your shirt into which ives you a couple different looks as well. The bright green is perfect for spring and summer but could easily be paired with tights and a sweater for winter weather. Thats another reason I LOVE J.Crew, you can wear so many of their pieces all year round. I am so ready for ready for Spring guys and I have started picking out things that have bright colors and patterns! If you all subscribe to their emails you will find out about their amazing deals and thats when you can snag what you like- just for those who think its out of your budget, because it can be affordable! I cant wait for next week when I get to post all my Hawaii outfits!
