I am a mom of two on a limited budget. I love vintage and thrift store shopping and getting stuff on sale, who doesn't?! This blog chronicles my finds composing them into outfits I wear. Just because you got it from a chain store doesn't mean you have to look like everyone else. Be confident and put your own spin on it! Sure, a Birkin would be nice, Louboutin and Chanel as well. But I gotta make do...and you should too!

Military Maneuver
I found this dress on clearance and had intially planned to wear it alone with a pair of ballet flats. But since I couldn't wait for warmer weather to wear it, I decided to just layer it over a turtleneck, add some ribbed leggings and fish out my really old lace-up boots from the back of the closet. This was one of those days where it magically worked out in a matter of minutes. What was to be a solution to keeping warm, turned out to be an inspired move! A friend of mine even insisted I blog about it...thanks, E!
Love Culture dress, Target turtleneck, GAP lace-ups, Oliver Peoples sunnies

Smarty Pants
One of my favorite things to wear is a classic tie-neck blouse. I love how conservative it looks yet with the right outfit, funky just as well. It evokes a vintage vibe with a bit of a foreign flair. Just for fun, I couldn't help topping it off with tortoise shell glasses. I feel like a prim and proper french librarian from the 70's. I admit, a little role-playing gets me going.
