Ok ok, so generally we like to think sparkly clothing as dressy items...but that's so limiting, isn't it?! Tis a shame because every day can be a party. Let's start mixing it up! Pairing this glam sequin skirt,  { hello thigh high slit! ; ) } with this oversized tee is an instant Spring and Summer favorite for me. Mixing party wear and casual wear creates such an interesting look! The skirt dresses up the top and the top dresses down the skirt...it all balances out. Perfect for a dinner out or running around town. Don't forget to pair this look with cute heels! I love the color blocking on these...nude, tan and a gold heel!

 Fall wardrobe is in progress. It always takes me some time to transition from season to season... including figuring out what key pieces I need to dress comfortably for the weather. For this outfit, I paired a casual oversized plaid button-up with a cropped denim vest. To contrast the casual top I wore glam & sparkly fitted black trousers. Of course, I can't forget to mention the Jeffrey Campbell's, which are a statement all their own.

Vintage Adele Simpson Dress. Need I say more? 
 I got this dress from the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop. I always have a great time there. I love the thrill of the hunt AND I love the chats with the women who volunteer there. They love being there and it shows...also they are very knowledgable about all the vintage clothing. I highly recommend donating items to an ACS Discovery Shop and/or regularly shopping there. All proceeds go toward fighting cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. 
Now back to the dress...Gorgeous colors! Gorgeous detail! Look at that gold embroidery! Ugh, instant dress crush. It's a few sizes too big for me but I couldn't pass it up. (soooo many pins are in the back for these pics. haha!) The great thing about vintage clothes is that as long as it's in good condition, it holds it's resale value. It's usually a win/win with vintage, buy a decent priced quality made item, wear it a bit and then you can always resell.
Be sure to check out all the local Ohio Discovery Shop locations!
