VFS

Shopping at a thrift store can be intimidating for most. Most think that the clothes are old and not in season. The real trick to see beyond what the piece "looks" like. At first glance, this blouse looks matronly and because of the material, outdated.

The trick to this shirt was to pair it with the right pieces. A vintage cream lace skirt and soft pink statement necklace. We rolled up the sleeves to create a 3/4 sleeve, unbuttoned the first button and tucked it into the skirt. The reason why I chose this blouse was the color and buttons, it seemed bright and rich. Be creative, don't be scared to enter your local thrift store, LOOK at everything, don't just glance at the rows and rows of racks, the clothes will not always just pop out at you. Think of it as a treasure hunt:) Every trip to the thrift store will not always be successful, don't be discouraged about this, just head over to the next store.

Vintage Finds Series (VFS)

My friend Aprillynn and I have embarked on a business adventure bringing to life garments that have been forgotten. We're giving these pretty pieces a second chance by bringing them to you on our Instagram shop at prettypieces_. Our pieces are on of a kind, pretty, and never coming back! Snag your item now before it's too late.

This striped number is bold yet sweet, it hugs your body perfectly at the hips rather than your waist like most dresses. This dress comes with its own accessories, but don't be afraid to add modern pieces to make it your own. Take a moment to admire the artistry of this garment because you won't ever see it again. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram for updates and always unique pretty pieces.

Effortless Chic

 I love simple, feminine black pieces with gold details.  I have been thinking a lot about effortless style, these days.  It is one of my favorite aesthetic.  Not overdone, not fussy; timeless, chic, and classic.  How perfect is this look for a late dinner?  Easy. Effortless.  

The great thing about this outfit is that it can be dressed up like this look or down. All you need is to add a cardigan and converse, or flats, for school or a day out and about. Then you just dress it  up with a gold necklace, bracelet and gold chain strappy heals for a date or dinner with friends. 

      

The strappy heel is really big trend right now. I've seen them worn by celebrities with jeans, simple dresses and even gowns. This shoe elevates an outfit and makes it look chic and trendy.Even women with short height and on the plus side can wear these heeled sandals because the legs appear to be much leaner and thinner than usual.
