Thrifted: Llama-face!

Maybe you guys have noticed that I don't really post OOTD's or fashion-related posts. It's because I don't really fancy myself a fashionista. I do, however, like unique and quirky finds and this is one of the reasons I love thrifting.

I saw this sweater dress when I went thrifting and couldn't resist getting it. The llama and stripey clouds are appliques.

The llama is adorable. I loved the movie "Emperor's New Groove" (which is where Llama-face came from.)  I love llamas and alpacas. I'd collect stuff with them on, if they were easier to find. (I have the same problem with Maltese puppy stuff, but I digress.)

It's in really good condition, too, maybe the original owner didn't have the nerve to wear it in public, lol.

Actually, I've already worn this. It didn't seem too outrageous. The neutral color and simple stripes toned it down. Fits me really well too, but the armholes are kinda big so I really need to wear something underneath.

What would you wear with this dress? Suggestions?

Thanks for reading,
Jackie

Craft-y Post: Feathery Fascinator

Hi guys! How was your weekend?

Here's a fairly old pic I'd like to share with you. (Excuse the quality. It was on my cellphone.)

I made this around Lent. Mardi Gras time is very inspiring.

It's a fascinator.

I love vintage fashion. I like Edwardian and 20's flapper styles most of all.

It's made with wire so that it can follow the shape of any person's head, or any part of the head you choose to put it.

A snap-on clip on the bottom is used to attch it to the wearer's hair.

Check this out. I haven't laughed this hard in ages.

Cute Thrifted Shoes!

I got these sweet flats at forty percent off at a thrift store on my way home. I don't take very good photos but I swear they're good as new.

I love flat shoes. I practically live in them now. With this dainty pair, I can be comfy but still look polished. This one's especially comfy as it's made from a kind of velvety fabric.
