So airy! So pretty! AND oh so beautifully comfortable!
'Ballooned' clothes are HOT for Spring & Summer 2012!
Choose pieces that fit your style & body type, and don't wear them all at once!
See suggestions below!!
Well, you get the idea! So cute, right?!
This!

Not this!
{it's so cute though!}

'Ballooned' clothes are HOT for Spring & Summer 2012!
Choose pieces that fit your style & body type, and don't wear them all at once!
See suggestions below!!
- A ballooned sleeve blouse, like the DVF coral one on the right, looks great with a skinny jean!
- The patterned "bloomers" by D&G go well with peplum top in a neutral color.
- Wearing a balloon dress? Keep accessories light, and the shoes minimalist!
Well, you get the idea! So cute, right?!

{Jennifer!}
Yesterday was thrift store excursion day!
First stop! AZ Thrift Store on Veterans Memorial Highway in Historic Mableton, GA, which is about a 25 minute drive from West Midtown Atlanta.
Jennifer, who works at AZ is the inspiration behind my post today!
She loves fashion & ALWAYS looks great! {Jennifer, shown above!}
She and I started talking about 80s & 90s fashions & the resurgence of this particular style right now.
Bright colors, mesh, color-blocking, mixed textures, all derivatives of the 80s & 90s!
So I decided to look for shoes from that time frame! Guess what?! I hit a gold mine! Which was like, totally awesome!
Okay, I couldn't help myself! Moving right along!
See below!
J Renee multi-colored Snakeskin peep toe!
Bright Blue Candies peep toe!
These Palter Debs are actually from the 60s & alligator!
However, fabulous, I had to show you!
I used to be totally against white pumps,
but if these Proxy shoes were my size, they would be mine!!
Love the gathering at the toe!
Color-blocked patent sling backs are by Style & Co.,
not vintage, but CUTE & inexpensive!
Yes, a wing-tip spectator oxford!
Oxfords are so hot right now!
