Wearing Multi Length Necklaces
I love necklaces and I'm really loving the multi-length look and will be wearing it this fall with my vintage dresses. Soo...I went on a necklace shopping frenzy/binge by purchasing a ridiculously amount of necklaces from Forever21 ( i could not help it, they're so cheap and pretty). And, I found this insightful article on LuckyMag.com on how to wear them.
Chains and Jeweled Bib Necklaces
The chains toughed up the jewels, making them less big-evening-out dressy-----what would be a night look turns into something perfect for day.
Mixing Metals and Motifs
Stars and flowers work together because they feel whimsical and fun. The combo is also a great subtle way to try the floral trend, if a full-on print dress isn't quite your thing. And, yes, you can mix gold with silver.
Jewels with Jewels
Contrast stark, clear gems with black onyx, you can also
match brights with brights, or mix different tones of the same
shade....any complementary color combo will do. Just make sure that the necklaces you use are of varying lenghts.
I really like this look < - --, the black with the pearls look so classy. Which look will you be trying??
U*P*D*A*T*E
I haven't update my blog because I really need someone to take my pictures. I've picked up some COOL thrift pieces from jewelry, purses, to vintage dresses, to a Micheal Jackson inspired red studded crop jacket/vest...that I paired with some highwaisted cream trousers and a cream blouse....it was HOT!!! Although, I always liked vintage...I never really wore vintage clothes but I think my look this fall will be vingtage inspired with a touch of modern edge...stay tuned!! Also I wanted to share my latest purchase. I have been looking everywhere (thrift store and online) for the right pair of boots to wear with my dresses this fall....LOOK what I found!?! I am too too happy!! Ok, calm down Miss C, it's not that serious....well sort of. By Jeffrey Campbell and were $150. They're an updated look to the vintage granny boots.

Simple..but elegant
I love the ruffle detail around the neck. I feel it takes the dress to another level.

REWIND!!!
ETA: I have since sold those shoes to a place that resales clothing. They were cute but I wasn't too crazy about them.

Remember that dress I'd ordered.....Here it is!!
I was surprised how EXTREMELY cute this dress is on!! This picture does it NO JUSTICE!!. I had to immediately order this in the pink color as well. It has a full tulle skirt underneath it and I looked like a little doll when I wore it. I need a camera man because I can not get a good full length picture by myself. How do you fashionista's do it?? Anyhoo..I'm the type of person that must try on ALL my clothes when I'm out shopping, so buying clothes off the Net was something I had never done until recently. (..and by the way I can't stop now...) Normally, I would buy purses, shoes, accessories, etc., but NEVER clothes. I'm glad I decided to give it a try and it worked...he-he!
