Thrifty Threads 365, style challenge
Every woman has that skirt, shirt or purse she can't live without. For me, right now, my favorite flirty skirt is an LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's tulle maxi {no longer available} and I'm kinda sorta finally getting into the crop top trend, so I'm wearing my vintage top from Clothes Contact in San Francisco.
The last time I rocked the tulle skirt was this past winter with a silky top and fur vest {seen here} and I just wore the crop top a few weeks ago with a maxi dress {seen here}.
Though I love the tulle skirt and crop top, I've never worn them together. I finally changed that!

How to Style a Maxi Dress in Multiple WaysThere's nothing I love more than a maxi dress for summer. It's ideal for a casual weekend, the office or a comfortable travel outfit when you want to jet set in style.

I have a simple black maxi I scored years ago for less than $15 and it's always in heavy rotation throughout the spring and summer months every single year. Though I adore it, it's getting a bit boring.
But what do you do when you love a garment but want to inject new life into it? Check out multiple ways to wear a maxi dress.

Thrifty Threads 365: raiding my grandmother's jewelry boxA few weeks ago my aunt started cleaning out my grandmother's room {she's currently living in a nursing home for round the clock care}. While my aunt was ready to toss most of the stuff or just donate to the thrift store, I quickly stopped her. See the thing is, my grandmother loved to dress back in the day. And she really loved jewelry. I'm all for donating to the thrift store {obviously!} but I wanted to go through some of her beloved items to see what serious gems she had.
Let me tell you, I'm so glad I did and stopped my aunt before she just bagged everything up. Also, since I'm doing my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {no new clothes for a year, only thrifted!}, I can use all of the accessories I can get.
Check out just a few of the amazing vintage jewelry I found in my grandmother's closet.
