Young Blood

Purple floral dress - vintage/altered

Denim vest with leathe collar - vintage

Green satchel, Ecote wooden sandals - Urban Outfitters, $20, gift

I came across this vest last week while I was moving some boxes around in the garage. I came across of pile of rejects from my mother's closet in which I found this vest along with several others, and even some oversized denim shirts. I don't know who in their right mind would want to get rid of this beauty, with it's black leather collar. How cool is that? I was channeling a 90's grunge sort of vibe which is why I paired it with this floral dress. Come fall, I'll add some ripped tights and black boots to really commit to that inspiration.

I received these wooden soled sandals for my birthday about two weeks ago. I wore them out the day after I got them but didn't break them in and suffered the consequences in the form of several blisters. Ouch! I sat them on a shelf under the weight of the a pair of boots which did the trick. I wore them all day without a problem. At least I learned my lesson!
