(Yours) Truly Vintage

I think the best piece of vintage is one that isn't found in a second hand shop, or a garage sale, but in your own mother's closet. Meet my mom's best kept secret, Gucci.







The boxy shape of the bag and long leather strap is so late 80s! LOVELOVE. The leather is deliciously worn-in (but still looks great!) and could probably use a patch up in a few spots and a repair here or there... but I won't. I think it looks good just as it is. It was given to my mother by her late mother-in-law (my late grandmother). Timeless. Priceless.

Sunday Funday

Today was a lazy and beautiful Sunday. We had great weather all weekend! I spent my day with Jordan and my fiance just gardening and hanging out at the house.








This is my FAVORITE comfy outfit. The sweatshirt is super old, probably from middle school. I altered it to make it off the shoulder, (like I did here also) and voila! It added instant chic to an otherwise boring sweatshirt!





My little man! He's too funny...






The owl pendant necklace is new. I ordered it, thinking the owl was much smaller. I actually like that its bigger because the detail on it shows much more. I have been going crazy looking for a vintage turquoise ring. I found this one at an old lady's garage sale for 25 cents! Its really heavy and sturdy, a real vintage costume jewelry piece. I have seen ones very similar to this one, almost identical in H&M and Forever 21 (never in my size... boo). That just proves that you should never throw anything away. It's going to be back in style one day so hang onto it! Garage sales are the best for finding cool things. I'm so happy the good weather is coming so I can go to more and find some hidden treasure!
