Green with Envy Girl

Blouse: Vintage, Trousers: NY&Co, Heels: Target (old), Scarf: Vintage

I'm back down at Faye's! I got an itch do go a little retro the day I needed to go to my son's awards ceremony. I had this outfit set aside for a little while because I finally took the pants in to get them taken up in the waist. They never have fit well in the waist but I just never got around to taking them in. Finally I did and I am so happy that they are done. I love love love the color green and these pants are perfect for summer. Especially with my knee still being a problem. It still swells and hurts from the car accident a few months back. I have to wear a brace and pants hide the brace well. Also, I am not wearing my arm splint/cast here but not because I am free of it all together but I just go without it from time to time. 

I loved this outfit and it renewed my love for vintage and pinup hairstyles!

Anyway! Let me show you this cute little pin curl I learned how to do with my bangs. It totally helps that "growing out the bangs" period. I found a video on you tube and just knew I had to try it. I made a video too so I could show you how to do it. It's so crazy easy!!!

Post Grease Girl

Jacket, Skirt: Thrifted, Top: Gift, Wedges: Modcloth

This is what happens after I watch Grease. I get all retro up in here. 

Man, I love that movie. Even though Grease 2 has it's moments, and I adore Michelle Pfieffer, it will never ever stand equal to the original. Tell 'em Rizzo.

Wrapped in Ribbon Girl

Tank: Vintage, Belt &Shoes: Thrifted, Jeans: Walmart

Not until I saw these heels on another blogger did I realize that the weird little flap thing around the back was for ribbon to go through. Brilliant! When I thrifted them the ribbon was gone. On closer inspection - it looks like it was cut off. Well, of course you know what that meant. Road Trip! A trip to the craft store to choose the ideal color for these navy espadrilles. I chose this beautiful kelly green (my favorite color of all time) AND a red with white polka dots for those spunky days. Interchangeable ribbon shoes. A cheap way to make a new pair of shoes each time. YES please.

I feel more than blessed that I discovered this kitschy little strawberry print tank in a vintage shop one day. I love it. People get a kick out of it too. Not long after I wore this, I found strawberry earrings at the flea market. Can the world get any better?
