Back to School Week
This Tuesday was my first day back to school for Spring semester. It was a great first day because I only had 4 hours of class time and I got a call that I was hired at Rubio's :D.
So I'm mainly excited that I will start working in February because I am broke and I could use the money to celebrate my 21st birthday :D. I am tired of being a broke college student even though most of my money will be going towards books, school supplies, sending applications, and gas. The sad thing about starting school again is that I can't slack off and do nothing anymore. I am also preparing to transfer so I have been busy with getting transcripts sent, supplemental applications done, and researching scholarships.
I haven't had time to upload pictures so I will update this post at the end of this week with pictures of my outfits from school :)
Tuesday
What I wore: Black pokadot/floral dress - handmedown, Black top - thrifted, Grey knee highs - Target, Burgundy scarf - thrifted, Black oxford shoes - thrifted.
Wednesday
What I wore: Red sparkle turtleneck sleeveless top - once my mothers, Black circle skirt - Forever 21, Black floral tights - Forever 21, Black and white plaid jacket - Wet Seal, Black oxford shoes - thrifted.
Thursday
What I wore: Stripped v-neck top - gifted, Blue tear drop earrings - gifted from mother, Hoodie cardigan - Volcom, Two toned denim button down - thrifted, Light wash jeans - Forever 21, Brown Suede ankle boots - Marshalls.

Camo Sophistication
This was my outfit of the day a few days ago. I cannot recall what shoes I wore that day because apparently I took these pictures before I stepped outside. And I apologize for the
lack of full body pictures. Anyways I feel that the suspenders and
turtleneck give a sophisticated military look
when paired with a camo jacket.
What do you think?
What I wore: Lips - Plum perfect, Criss-cross earrings - vintage, Stripped turtleneck - Mother's,
Tan suspenders - thrifted, Brown velvet skirt - Mother's, Camo jacket - thrifted,
Criss-cross tights - Marshalls. Shoes: I think I paired it with my oxfords
I just realized that my entire outfit was combined of thrifted and vintage pieces.
I think the cost of the clothes and branded clothes don't really matter.
What matters is if YOU like it and can create an amazing outfit :)

Metallic Inspired
I've been in search of metallic products and just my luck all of my favorite shops have new metallic everything :).
-American Apparel
Even though the Christmas season has passed, I can't get enough of the tinsel look of these tights.
Opaque Liquid Metallic Pantyhose: $10
-LuLus
I first saw these on Joellenlove.com and now I am obsessed with these skirts. They make a statement in itself.
Smart Aleck Metallic Gold Mini Skirt: $32
Royal Highness Metallic Silver Skirt: $30
Smart Aleck Metallic Pewter Mini Skirt: $32
-Threadsence
I feel that Threadsence.com is underrepresented and needs to be known by more fashion lovers because these pieces are on point with the metallic look.
Shine On Metallic Leggings: $32
Silver Crush Metallic Top: $29
-Motelrocks
This top is would go great with anything military styled or a girls night out.
Motel Bonnie Wet Look Crop Top in Pewter: $30
-Nastygal
As much as I adore nastygal's products they are rather pricey, but hey if you can afford it no one is stopping you :).
Outer Limits Skirt: $38
Metallic Skinny Jeans- Gunmetal: $78
Reflected Leather Tee: $128
I hope you enjoyed this inspired post :)
Vintagestargazer Shop is Up
I've been longing to sell these items and more for a few months now but I never had the time to set up an online shop until this winter break. The shop is http://vintagestargazer.storenvy.com/
Here are a few of my favorite items:
-Tommy Hilfiger Shirt
(Simple and Classy 80s/90s look)

-Designer (Rioni) Crossbody purse
(This purse has pockets on both sides)
-Cold Shoulder Denim top

Prices for these items should be reasonable. I plan on designing and creating my own products not just vintage products soon. Enjoy shopping!
