When the Clock Stops

IMG_3724

As you can see, I picked up a few things while out thrifting…I was really excited about the sparkly vintage bags,the studded pashmina and those beautiful black leather knee high boots which cost me $10! The corset skirt is super cute too and I might show you guys how it looks in my nest post…J helped me pick them out..I was only going to pick one and he convinced me to take both…=) The leggings were not thrifted…those are H&Ms new sequin leggings which im still debating about…I don’t think I would really recommend them just because they are so scratchy on your legs when you wear them that they make you itch…I’m going to try wearing tights underneath and see how that feels…

J…. if you read this…Just wanted to let you know I love you…

and to all my readers, family, and friends that voted for me in the Elle Contest…Thank you! I did not win but was happy to make it to the top 12 =)
