OK! I know! If your super OCD and expect me to post a What I Wore Wednesday on an actually Wednesday then you don’t know me that well. Though I try, I like to let life happen to me and roll with it, instead of trying to control what happens. I am can be controlling by nature, but it adds stress to my life and my body doesn’t handle stress well so I’ve adapted, and keep re-adapting to my constantly changing life.
So on that note here is my What I Wore Wednesday post that was interrupted by my faithful little car needing FOUR new tires! Not to mention I was so flustered and on edge while I was there because like the penny pincher I tend to be, I gave them a coupon….that was for their competitor!!!! The shame! (I would also like to point out that in trying to help ease the burden of having one tire looked at, because I thought only one had a problem, the Hubs printed the coupon for me and I didn’t double-check.) The whole ordeal took up the majority of my day and everyone at the repair shop I think felt sorry for me because they kept checking on me, gave me a ride home and threw in some free stuff. (I did get four tires, so I earned that free stuff!)
As you know last week I was pumped about going to the Yacht Rocks party hosted by the Free Times. I love themed parties and they really went all out! The decor was a great mix of vintage nautical goods and kitsch that you buy from the party store. The food was on point and the music was super fun and retro that everyone knew the words to! I basically talked to people the whole three hours I was there and forgot to even play shuffle board!!
So on to what I wore….
Top a Vintage 70’s novelty print (found here) paired with a ModCloth Matisse Skirt and vintage navy boat shoes. My hair is the longest it has been in ages so I did a twist on the Victory Roll last min and you can see some of my favorite tutorials here.
I hear this a lot when people shop with me at shows. “Do you know ModCloth? It looks a lot like their stuff.” It does I agree. I even shop with them on occasion and here is my experience. Buyer beware. If you don’t like returning things don’t bother shopping with them. On the plus side returning is free and I’ve never had a problem. Almost every item I buy from them the item doesn’t fit right the first try, or the quality is so poor I could not subject the rest of the clothes in my closet to be hung next to it. Once I bought a pair of shoes in my size and they were huge…I got the size down and couldn’t put my foot into it…needless to say God was telling me I did not need those shoes! jk Also come visit me sometime and I will hang my “vintage inspired” mod cloth dresses next to my vintage dress and you tell me which one you want to wear. Though I do turn to ModCloth in a pinch when I need something super specific quickly for an event such as wedding or Halloween party. Just be prepared to only wear it a few times before it falls apart.
This lovely lady was not my date, but great one none-the-less and I’m glad we have this photo to prove it! My actual date and I had several photos taken of us but we didn’t get one ourselves and I can not locate one to show you how fantastic she is!! (If you have one please send it to me so I don’t look like a liar). I’ll give you a clue though! The clutch I’m holding was made by her! Doesn’t it match perfectly!?! Her Nana Bags get looks and start conversations everywhere I go! I’ve also started a collection and so have a few other ladies in my family. I have more photos of her bags that I’m saving for a later post so be on the lookout!
This would have been my outfit if I was 3 sizes smaller! It is pretty great and I won’t be surprised if it goes to a good home soon! Psst! Click the photo to see the back! It’s the best part!
Since most of you are reading this on Friday I hope you are ready for the weekend. If you’re in the Georgia area come see me and Saint and Rambler Vintage at the Indie South Back to Cool Market in Athens. Cheers!
