A couple of great "feel good in it always" pieces are the perfect way to start off any day. Regardless of how you're feeling, what you look like first thing in the morning, or how your hair is behaving on that particular day, they can give you an instant "pick-me-up."
This jacket always does it for me. No matter what I pair it with, it always seems to work out just right. And, of course, it was secondhand. Not only that, but it previously belonged to a young girl. That's right - one of my favorite ways to find secondhand items is to "steal" pieces that were passed on to my little sisters by other girls. If it fits ok through the bodice, it can be pretty amazing as a "tiny" or cropped jacket. ;)
My "fishy" skirt hasn't seen as much wear as the jacket, and at first I was a bit skeptical of this secondhand piece. But I love it so much in this combination that I know I will be pairing it up again in the near future. I am rather obsessed with unique and "quirky" pieces; and this skirt, with its gazillion tiny fish congregating about the hemline, is captures my imagination. Just perfect for someone who still thinks it would be awesome to be a mermaid (that would be me ;).
My necklace and bracelet are also secondhand. The former was a cast-off from my favorite violinist on the planet (and a huge musical inspiration) Hanneke Cassel. (That's also how we got my littlest sister's name.) The bracelet came in a random bag of clothing years ago. My bronze heeled shoes are not secondhand, as almost all of the footwear in my wardrobe seems to have been purchased brand new, but they are also favorites.
What I'm Wearing:
- Tan Jacket by Mossimo
- "Fish in the Sea" Skirt - AWAW by Junko Shimada
- Black Tank Top by SO wear it declare it from Kohls
- Metallic Heels by Franco Sarto from DSW
