Have you noticed how some of your favourite things are (sometimes) the least expensive?
Dress: Thrifted. Free People does a bunch of versions. Western mules: ACNE (solestruck). Similars: Cheap Monday or Jeffrey Campbell. Bag: FreePeople (DIY shoulder strap). Lipstick: WetnWild #966 (it’s slightly less bright in real life – promise)
That applies to this dress. The lipstick too actually – did you see my instagram of the orange one? I have to show you lot better pics on the blog.
Wearing a thrifted dress that I pinned up on both sides to give a handkerchief hemline . I used one of my belts as the shoulder strap to make the bag hang longer. The original strap is still attached which I switch to sometimes – it’s in the 5th pic.
The western clogs mules no clogs have been on my feet daily while at home, clopping from room to room. I wear them with denim but liked the contrast of modern clog with faded print dress.
I should try cutting one of my old boots into this shape and see what happens…hmmm *scratches chin*

I have much appreciation for that dress. Floral, feminine but free! Its refreshing to see something that’s not fitted or sexified. I made that word up. XD
Karen says:
perfect for a food baby too : )

Lara says:
Love the lip colour. However, that bag, dress and mules have no reason being styled together. Looks like you a thrift store exploded on you. Each piece should be styled appropriately on their own. Those mules are space-like minimal, not vintage boho. The bag strap idea is tops- would have been great with that dress if you attached it with a simple leather bag.
Karen says:
Thx Lara but that’s what makes us different. Wearing what we like the way we like it. To me there are no ‘should’s or ‘should not’s on what on how I wear my clothes.

I have that exact same bag!!!
LOVE what you did with the shoulder strap.
Karen says:
really? btw I noticed that no two are the same. I saw someone with one the other day and hers were different colours to mine.
I like how large it is
Sinead says:
True, it’s not 100 per cent identical, but mine does have a primarily orange colorway. Funny thing is, I wanted one just like the one pictured in the Free People catalogue (more blue if I remember correctly) and I was a bit put off when I received mine. I don’t own anything orange. But over time, I have come to love it. Do you ever worry about the little mirrors falling off?
Karen says:
Actually I wanted a more blue based one too but I’m ok with this one now. The one I saw on someone else recently, some of the mirrors were coming off so yes I can see it happening? I’m ok with it though since I have a lot of bags so I won’t be using this one heavily.

I love the dress! I have quite a few that I’ve snatched up from local thrift stores and they are so dang comfy! I will have to steal your idea about the pinning and handkerchief appearance:) Love you, love your blog.

I LOVE the way you styled these Acne mules! I’ve been eyeing this pair on Solestruck for awhile now and now I have a better idea what they will look like styled. So gorgeous! Love everything about this outfit.
