Mamanista Fridays: All Black Everything

This week for Mamanista Friday, we are wearing my favorite look, All Black Everything!  I don't know whats going on with me but I'm kind of obsessed with wearing black right now.  It could be because I'm struggling with my weight.  Anything to take the edge off, I'm with it.  

Style Me Friday: Monochromatic

Happy Friday! This week flew by!  We don't have any big plans this weekend, Thank God! That is great because I'm super busy next week with fun bloggy stuff!

Today's Style Me Friday look from Fashionista Next Door is monochromatic!  I have become a big fan of monochromatic outfits because they make you look slimmer!  I'm all for anything that makes me look smaller, especially since I have gained 10lbs!  Yes I did! Can you see it in my face waist and thighs?  I have been trying my best to hide it : ).  Now I can't fit my clothes. I started watching what I eat this week.  I hope to get a work out to two in this weekend!  Wish me luck!

So I got my "Green" shopping on this past weekend!

Inspired by all my new found thrifting bloggy friends, P and I got up and headed to Goodwill.  I was told thrifting was a good place to find this season hot bow blouse tops, cute blazers and skirts.  I was only interested in the blouse.  So I went straight to the tops.  Within 2 mins I found this bad boy!

SCORE!  I could not believe it!  Now it has a few stains but I scrubbed it up pretty good.  But if you see any stains while I am wearing it just act like you didn't.

Then at the Swapanista event on the same day, this was is the swapping suite!  2 in one day!  Holla!  Because of the pattern it's hard to see the bow but you can kind of see it below.

I picked up this incredible vintage sequin top at the Swapanista event also.  I love sequins!  So I had to have this.  Just think, with some skinny black pants or dark jeans and some BAD shoes!  What!

What they say is true, what goes around comes back around!  I am looking forward to my future thrifting adventures.  I have not had any luck finding items for Peyton.  Where do you go for "Green" shopping or to find the best thrifting items?  Goodwill?  Salvation Army?

Lily Kai Vintage Trunk Show

This past Saturday I was invited by Kristian of Lily Kai Vintage Boutique to attend her summer cool down trunk show.  We were able to shop while sipping sangria!  Perfect!!!

I used to think vintage meant "old lady clothes". Not anymore! Do you see this beautiful young lady! Her dress is vintage! That top that I am holding did not fit (so mad)!  But how fly is that!

I left there with these two fabulous dresses!

I need to get a HOT belt for this one!

I would like to wear this with a fur faux vest and some knee high boots for the fall!

I wore these sandals to the event.  Got them from the Shoe Dazzle shoe club.  Now I am a Sole Society girl : )  Dang, my toes are a little ash... sorry!

This is my first vintage shopping experience and Kristian definitely (laugh every time I type that now) made it glamorous!!!  Make sure you check out her online store here!

Do you buy vintage?  Where do you get it from?
