Playing Catch Up

Back a couple of months ago, when I knew I wanted to start this blog, I started taking photographs of my outfits.  It was a good idea because I only get to dress up on my days off.  When I'm working, I'm wearing scrubs--and no one wants to see photos of that.  The only problem is, now I have all of these photos that I'm dying to share straight away.  I am especially excited to share my photos from when I was on holiday in Maine last month.  The scenery is absolutely stunning.  But I'm going to behave, and post them in the order that I took them.



These photos were taken last month in my mum's garden.  It's a great location for me because of the beautiful landscaping she did.  It also helps the neighbor has equally lovely landscaping for photos when I'm standing near the fence. 




Outfit Details:
vintage dress & belt {thrifted}
wedge sandals {payless}
vintage jewelry {left to me by my grandmother}

I love this dress!  It's utterly feminine from it's blush pink color to the bows on the shoulders.  It even has a bit of a peplum going on at the hips and buttons all the way down the front.  When I was wearing this dress, it totally transformed me.  It made me feel ultra girly and the fit made me do a little wiggle when I walked.

Introductions and New Beginnings

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Here it is...my first stab at blogging!  It's always difficult when starting new situations.  One never knows quite what to say.  I guess we should start with the basics.  My name is Kristi, I'm aged 26, and I live in Pennsylvania.  I work in a hospital setting, though I am trying to start up my own business making jewelry and vintage inspired clothing.

My main intentions for this blog is to make new friends, network, and share the passion that is fashion with the world.  I enjoy vintage clothing- especially from the 1940s and 1950s.  This will be my creative outlet.  I will share my fashion inspiration, outfits, and the items I create.

The first set of photos is a bit dated- originally taken on the 4th of July.

 My inspiration for the outfit was an All American girl.
























Outfit Details:
vintage handbag, vintage skirt, & belt {thrifted}
tank top {walmart}
wedge shoes {payless}
jewelry {gifted}

Please forgive me while I am getting used to the whole blogging thing.  I'm still tweaking the page in regards to it's look.  The setup and everything is something I must get used to.  I hope you enjoyed meeting me- I can't wait to meet all of you!
