You guys! I really outdid myself on the vintage skirt front this week. My hope is that there's a tiny little piece of you that is considering a thrift shop excursion this weekend and a vintage skirt in your future. I will wait patiently for the Instagram photos.

If you read the blog this week, you know that I've been throwing out thrifting tips like it's my job, but sometimes the best vintage clothes belong to your family! Take this skirt for example - it used to belong to my mother before I stole it a few a years ago. She was an elementary school teacher and had THE BEST wardrobe. I especially love this skirt because of the buttons. It feels so Angela Chase. So, my last tip is to raid your mom, grandma, aunt, great-aunt's closet. I even have clothes that belonged to my dad!

For look #3, I paired this skirt with a denim, pinstriped top from the Gap (if you click on the link, notice the half tuck), and tied the bottom for an 80s vibe. I busted out my Ray-Ban Clubmasters to take the look even further down memory lane and then just threw on the same shoes and put my Annie Bukhman handbag over my shoulder. What else is new?

So that's a wrap for Vintage Skirt Week! Hope it was everything you wished for and more. Until next time, ciao!

It's Vintage Skirt Week on CMJ!

On Monday, I gave you two tips to remember when thrifting for skirts or any pieces for that matter, and here's a few more - number three: make sure to wear something that you can easily maneuver in the fitting room and/or open room with no curtains. You never know what you're getting yourself into when it comes to trying on clothes at a thrift shop, so I would suggest wearing an easy dress like this one. Tip number four: remember to hand wash or dry clean your finds before wearing - some clothes can have an unpleasant smell.

Here is look #2: I recently picked up this tropical-print, wrap skirt at the beginning of the Summer. Again, it fits high on the waist, so it's fun to pair with a crop top. You can't really tell, but this top has some texture, which adds a nice little touch. Something like this top or this one could work too! I'm wearing the same shoes to show you the versatility of these clogs, but I also love these...like I might buy them tonight! Never without my Annie Bukhman handbags!

Check back on Friday for look #3!
