I need to get better at documenting my weekends.
Dress: Thrifted (2.99)
Lace Vest: Mom's vintage (gift)
Grey Cardigan: H&M (16.90)
White Cardigan: Chris' Vintage (2.99)
Shoes: Tag Sale (2.00)
Tights: TjMaxx (4.99)
Necklaces: H&M, J.Crew, Dolly and Boy
Because I'm constantly dressed up for work during the week, I choose to spend my weekends very slouchy and comfy. This weekend was no exception. I bought this child's dress awhile ago at Salvation Army and love the grunge feel of it, this time I chose to alter the hemline by pinning it up in a couple of places. I like how the lace pattern on the dress compliments the lace of my little vest. My mom gave me this amazing vintage lace top as a christmas gift this year, it used to be hers! I really can't wait to pair it with cut offs this summer. The cardigan is Chris' and he wasn't too happy I stole it, he says my bony shoulders make marks in his sweaters, I say he's crazy and doesn't know what he's talking about!
I don't have a lot to share about what I did, but we did go see Youth in Revolt, which I loved!
And couple of you have asked me how I tie my scarves so I made a little video to show you!
San I say the words "pretty easy" any more? jeez...

Your little tutorial is so cute! I love the outfit too; the florals, the cropped sweater, the cardigan. It's so 90s in the best possible way. Love it!

Oh, the amazing lace top.. looks so lovely and can't wait to see the summer version!

it's funny how simple scarves are but somehow seem so complicated. cute video!
aw, so cute, I love the double sweaters!
Oh you sound so damn sweet in the video! I wish it was cool enough to try it here.. its about 30C today (86F I think?) and I just can't stop pumping my fan.
When I saw the 1st pic I thought hey, that's Chris' from a few posts ago! I ALWAYS use my bf's things too..
I must admit, I look forward to your posts waaaay too much!

I love all the layers! It looks great. Whenever I try to add layers I end up looking too frumpy.

Love the colors in the outfit. It looks all comfy and chic at the same time!
You look like somebody famous in these pictures and I totally can't put my finger on the resemblance. Sheesh! I'll have to get back to you.
I loooove this outfit. I think it's the combination of the textures. Thanks for the video tutorial - I hate the ends of scarves hanging loose so I'll definitely use your method in future. It's so simple but looks fab!
You are so cute. Thanks for the vid. I'm going to try that.
Tucking the bottoms under! I'm being completely serious when I say that's quite genuis. I wear scarves almost every day and never thought to do that. Thanks for a "pretty easy" new way to wear them and the continued inspiration! : )
I really love this look. That's such a great lace top!
love the video! also love the outfit...and that it is a child's dress. awesome.
i love this cute layered look very much ! i love the lace top over the floral dress.
love all your layers!!!
that lace vest is amazing!!!!
and don't you love how you can double your wardrobe with you're bf's clothes :)
i need to start vintage shoppng in boston!! everything seems to be so cheap! it's a pity about that gigantic atlantic ocean seperating me from it....
what a lovely and inventive look!
i love the double sweaters, too.
(and your video was great--especially the end!)
love the look!! Great sweater on you!!
this outfit is so lovely, I am totally inspired. Also the scarf tying is pretty easy, so it's fine you reiterated that. :-)

Simple to follow tutorial for the fashionably challenged like me! Thank you! I never knew all you had to do was tuck the ends under!:)
Woo! Can you believe I always wondered how people tied scarves this way, and never could figure it out?
Thanks!
I can't see the video!!! Is it gone, or is there another link? I remember I tried this last winter, and it's getting cold again, but I can't remember how! Thanks :-)
