Like last Monday<\/a>, Saturday was a fantastic day.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where I\u2019m going to stop waxing poetic, because this blog is not an outlet to write about my fantastic & not so fantastic days. Although you gotta admit, the fantastic days are usually on days when I wear the best outfits, anyway.<\/p>\n

But moving on. Saturday was a fantastic day because I attended FASHION CAMP<\/a>, a bar camp style meet-up between people working\/living\/dreaming in all facets of the fashion industry.<\/p>\n

I spoke [!!!] on the \u201cArt of Thrifting,\u201d<\/a> a topic I pretty obviously hold near & dear to my heart. I think I did an A-OK job \u2014 and I hope that the attendees thought so, too. And in case you didn\u2019t get a chance to check out my panel at Fashion Camp, or if you just want a refresher on everything I talked about \u2026 check out my video of my top 5 thrifting tips here<\/a>. Pass it along, and happy thrifting!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE LOOK:<\/strong> Genie in a Bottle<\/p>\n

THE TOP:<\/strong> Express, circa 2003 [Junior year of high school!]<\/p>\n

THE BRA:<\/strong> Gifted consignment<\/p>\n

THE BELT:<\/strong> I honestly can\u2019t remember if this belt is from a pre-existing skirt\/jacket, or if I bought it separately. I used to have a belt obsession, so my collection is slightly unmemorable regarding specifics. Estimated circa 2007<\/p>\n

THE BRACELET [#1]:<\/strong> Elephant charm bracelet, gift from a friend, circa 2006. One of those bracelets I never found the chance to wear, but kept because of sentimental\/personal value instead. Let\u2019s just say that my friend was a forward-thinker of about 4 years.<\/p>\n

THE BRACELET [#2]:<\/strong> Green wrap bead bracelet, gifted\/consignment<\/p>\n

THE PANTS: <\/strong>Sammy Davis Vintage, available on Market Publique March 1st<\/p>\n

THE SHOES: <\/strong>New shoes [!!!] from the annual after-Christmas-after-New Year\u2019s Day-after President\u2019s Day-after Valentine\u2019s Day SALE at my local \u201chigh-end\u201d department store in Lancaster, PA: Bon-Ton. Never heard of it? I\u2019m not surprised. TK brand, because I forget at the moment, but the shoes were 75% off the already discounted price, totaling a not-so-whooping $20. Cha-ching.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t not love natural light, and just how happy it makes you. SAD = seasonal depression disorder. Definitely don\u2019t have it in this beautiful moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was a bit risque, but yes, I am wearing lace over a sports bra. Showing some skin in hopes that it brings up the daffodils a month early for spring. They have to get excited enough to blossom & bloom somehow, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care that these pants add weight to my body. I love the weight. I love the pattern. I love the flow. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NEW SHOES ALERT! $20 bargain from a Lanc Lanc department store. They just look so CLEAN!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite being a warmer winter day [hallelujah!] I threw on the snuggie for this last shot with an illustration set to debut in my lookbook! Special thanks to friend\/fellow Temple alumna Bridget McMullan for sketching. Girls got talent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

See that illustration above this picture of me at La Femme Fete<\/a>? Well \u2026 that illustration IS of me and modeled from this shot of me taken by Chris Reed of Might Like You Better<\/a> before the big event. Thanks, Bridget!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Special thanks to my photographer Greta Eagan<\/a> for snapping some pretty shots! Here she is doing her thing at Fashion Camp: presenting on sustainable fashion and how we can all become more conscious shoppers and clothing consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
