Lift

This past weekend was a blast. Why, you may ask? Because Miss Lindsey visited, of course! We had a bomb night and an awesome day of shopping whilst exploring downtown in Nolita. We started though, at Tompkins Square Bagels, where we fueled up on Birthday Cake Creamcheese (that's right). If Lindsey and I shopping together doesn't already seem overwhelming (we tend to go overboard and buy many items we don't need), we like to push it even further with our shopping attire. After all, who says you have to look boring when buying new things? Plus, it's super fun to dress up and walk around downtown. 

Inspired by Lindsey, who sported a long 1950s style midi skirt, I decided to wear one of my favorite dresses in my closet. I've had this gorgeous piece since 2011, where I purchased it (with Lindsey.. actually) at a cute boutique called Swish, in Edinburgh, Scotland. I like to refer to it as my pilgrim dress, due to it's incredibly vintage looking boatneck, and it's heavy silk drapery. The print of this dress drew me in the most, how cool are the upside down/right side up printed trees and little castles?! It's totally unique and quite irreplaceable- and I'll probably have it forever. I paired this with my black knee-highs from Urban Outfitters, and added my black JC Soulmans. Finally, I added my off-white pleather jacket from Forever 21 (I've been wearing this non-stop), and a cream envelope clutch purchased in Florence at the central leather market this summer. Lindz gave me a little 1950s style do (I love hairstyles like this), and I complimented the deep brown and navy with Sin by Mac on my lips. 

The perfect, but super fun and eclectic shopping outfit.
