Lovely Lace

Lace: Vintage Blouse: Vintage Pants: Goodwill Shoes: Payless

Can I first say what a surreal experience it was to be on the front page of Chictopia yesterday/today? I opened the site to check my shit and low and behold it was my own face staring back at me. Seriously such an honor. I celebrated with one too many glasses of wine and becuase of that have been a bit sluggish all day but it was totally worth it. OK enough with the dork talk...

I found this lace cardigan (?) I guess that's the only thing I know to call it by, at a vintage store in Fullerton yesterday and fell hard for it. I love the subtle details such as the tiny puff sleeves and slightly elongated front lapel. It's pieces like these that fuel my shopping addiction.

Congrats on the chictopia feature! That was a brilliant shot. The lace cardigan (yes, I'd call it a lace cardigan too) is amazing.

Wonderful for you! I found a lace cardi thrifting recently too! It wasn't in perfect condition but I snapped it up anyway because I thought it was lovely! So is yours.

I'd love the slyly steal that lace cardigan, what an amazing find! And you wear the high-waisted pleated pants so well, it really fuels this strange desire in me to go find a pair for myself. :)
