Vintage Valentino
SkirtThrifted Valentino TopThrift
This skirt was my greatest find from last week. I got this vintage Valentino skirt at Goodwill in Inglewood, and like everything else, it was cheap! Like most of my designer finds, I just loved the skirt in the store, and noticed the label when I got home. This little feeling is like icing on the cake for a vintage fiend, and epitomizes one my biggest thrift rules: Buy what works & not by the label – you’ll have a better fitting wardrobe, and save mega bucks. I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekends. I’ve been adding more stuff to my Etsy store over the past few days; so check in and see if there’s anything that you like.

What a beautiful, classic look. I've realized that you've inspired me to want: a) turbans and to wear more hats 2) long, high waisted skirts and 3) a tiny narrow waist and lovely long legs.
Well, at least I can purchase 1 & 2. xo. -Bella Q

This is amazing :)
what a neato find! lovely blouse too!
*sigh*... valentino. what in incredible find!! and it looks great on you.
AMAZING find! I have to say I am guilty of falling for labels at thrift stores but if it doesn't work it just doesn't and I have to be honest and leave it behind. But the skirt is fantastic and the label is just a cherry on top! PS - I am psyched that you made an etsy store because I want to steal everything from your closet!!!
What a lovely blouse.
love this! the blouse and skirt go well together! what a great find too!!

That's how I come across my designer vintage, too. I never really scour the racks for labels, so it's almost like you get to feel excited about a piece all over again when you get home. :)
How very lucky? I have found some amazing things at Goodwill recently! Such a wonderful skirt! You should create a safari look, white/cream linen button down, wide brim hat! That's what I'm envisioning, but I do love this! You know I adore your style :) We must catch up soon please!
Great skirt and love that shoes too! :)
lusting this skirt and blouse! the whole outfit is great..

ah valentino! Lucky find girl, lucky find...
That's great that you found it though. It makes the outfit look perfect.
You gotta love those Goodwill designer finds. I found Diane Von Furstenberg, St. John, Armani, and Lanvin all for under $25 within the past two months. I loveeeee it!

you look beautiful as always!
Beautiful outfit. I agree with your philosophy, sometimes designer goods are only purchased because of their label and not what it looks like or how it fits. I look forward to seeing some more of your tasteful outfits. xo
We love that gorgeous valentino skirt, but even more so we love your stunning pictures and original style. Keep the fabulous photos comingm we can't wait to see more!

that printed top complements the skirt so well. i don't why but this ensemble seems like a new take on the military look. the printed top reminds me of camouflage print....unless im going crazy! haha!
