What I Wore to Work :: My Dear

The other day I had to head to Detroit, Michigan unexpectedly. Only there for about 36 hours, I knew I had to hit up one of my favorite vintage broads, Lauren from Dear Golden Vintage. As per usual, Lauren was up for a fun visit and full of hospitality. Whiskey Smashes, dinner, and your basic Tom Foolery. And before you ask the obvious question, yes, of course I shopped her inventory. While gabbing and laughing, I was sifting through the racks and I spotted this number. I put it on immediately and did not take it off. Fit me like a glove and it brightened me up rather rapidly!! 

So this "What I Wore to Work" post is all about the dress:) 

Not only did I spot this dress, I also spotted the bag! My "Karyn" perfect handbag, giant, woven and leather. I seriously can not have too many! You have any?? Sell them to me!!!

Something tells me I will have this dress and handbag for a very long time. Check out the rest of Lauren's inventory at Dear Golden HERE.

Fields of Lilacs

This past week I went home for a few days to Southern Illinois. Spent most of the time thrifting and the rest relaxing. That's honestly why I go home as often as I can, low key relaxation. Don't get me wrong, I love, in fact ADORE, the city. But occasionally, it's nice to get away, see family & friends and thrift shop!

These photos were taken in the middle of a field of lilacs in an area of my hometown Chester Illinois. It was just too pretty and smelled way too amazing to pass up!

As I was saying in my last post, I recently opened my Studio with my friend Merl. Stay tuned because we will be having an opening party for our new space and will begin scheduling appointments!! So excited:)
