Grand cru

skirt: swap, mousevox vintage, top: costco, cardigan: ross, purse: a gift, heels: goodwill
Yesterday I finally received two new vintage pieces from the Hummingbird Girls as part of the secondhand swap that I told you all about a few months ago. I was so excited when I pulled out this skirt and a beautiful dress (which I will be styling soon)! I figured I had to wear one of them today to church and go sans tights for the first time this year - the weather is absolutely gorgeous right now! I was entirely comfortable wearing just this, which is not typical for me. Generally I get cold pretty quick.

My mom helped me out with these photos after church so thanks mom! ♥ Also, so just yesterday evening, my friend Jessica gave me a very belated Christmas gift of this purse - it's seriously the coolest thing ever! It's an old cigar box that someone turned into a purse. In addition, there is a mirror on the inside and red velvet - so I'm thinking that I will also use it as a jewelry box or something when I'm not wearing it as a purse! Isn't it so quirky and interesting? I hope you all have a relaxing Sunday! xx

  6. I really love how your blue shirt matches the blue in your skirt! And did you notice the guy in the orange shirt in the background of the third photo? Heehee that's silly. Haha don't you just love belated Christmas presents? They're the best. Oh, and you're totally making me want to cut my hair short again. :)

  8. Sorry it took so long to get to you Elanor! You look great in the skirt. I love that you paired with such a unique bag/cigar box. :D With your necklaces and top it gives it a real boho feel which I love. I'm glad you got to enjoy the spectacular weather we've been having. I hope it stays this way!
