"Romantic"

I paid a visit to a couple of my favorite consignment/vintage shops this weekend and stumbled upon this adorable pleated skirt with lace detail. Even though the skirt is too big for me I bought it anyway. I felt $12 was really too much of a steal to leave it on the rack.
I pinned the skirt in the back and covered it up by adding a belt. I have had this lace shirt for yeaaaars. It was a perfect match to help me create an illusion of a dress until I can take the skirt to my alterations lady and have it taken it.
This skirt is super sheer despite having a built in slip. As you see even with the black slip I added it is still very see through.
What better way to complete a "romantic" type look than with a classic pair of Chanel earrings.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I super excited because I will be leaving on Thursday to go to Jamaica for five days **turning cartwheels**. I have literally been working seven days straight since May, so this vacation is so overdue and needed!

"Lace, Lace, Lace"

The combination of lace and ruffles is so feminine and pretty to me, so when I ran across this skirt online I immediately fell in love. I decided to be over the top with lace wore two Sundays ago when I went to church.
I've had these shoes for about two years now, and have only wore them maybe five times because they are not 100% comfortable. After an hour I am DONE. I can pretty much rock any inch heel, as long as it is a platform. It's funny because I can rock my Night Walkers alllll night with no problems and they are much higher than these shoes.This shoe is absolutely gorgeous, but heel on this is the pits!! I think I am just going to sell them.
 I found this necklace at a consignment shop years ago. I love the long chain with the pearl in the back that hangs low.
