Outfit and Occasion

Outfit:

Seven of Mankind jeans (Richmond Thrift Shop, Richmond VT), $4.00, C & C California tank top (Loehmans, NY), $?, studded choker (Zinnia, Burlington VT), $2.00

This look contrasts my typical light, flowery, girly style, but I love me a little animal print to spice things up!

A similar item on the Seven of Mankind website sells for $199!  That’s a little cray, but this brand is so expensive because their jeans are well-made and have a great fit!

Occasion: Montreal

My roommate and I were looking for a change in scenery, so we drove up to Montreal for the day.  It’s hard to believe that Burlington is just a 2 hour drive from another country! We went to a delicious French bistro where Callie got a crepe and I got the classic Croque Monsieur (baked ham and cheese sandwich).  Not mind blowing, but still very tasty and very French.  When in Montreal!

We also went to the Museum of Contemporary Art, which was a little bare, but interesting nonetheless.  The rest of the day was walking around, thrift seeking, and enjoying the most beautiful day weather-wise!

Outfit and Occasion

Outfit:

Forever21 dress (Richmond Thrift Shop, Richmond VT), $5.00, XOXO booties (Sangha Clothing Swap), free

Flowers are my favorite pattern.  This print not only has flowers, but butterflies too!  I was instantly in love.  The shift shape/chiffon combo made it so unbelievably comfortable, the dress could probably work for pajamas.  It’s also long enough that I could dance with my hands up and not worry about it rising too high!  Found this right before the perfect occasion…

Occasion: Stacey and Jon’s Wedding

My dad’s side of the family came together for a perfect union.  Stacey and Jon, third cousins of mine who are just as close as first cousins, are truly soulmates.  Their wedding was beautiful: tear-jerker vows, a beautiful setting at Camp Abnaki in North Hero, and a stunning bride!   It was so much fun!

Farmers & Foragers delivered with savory apps like ricotta filled squash blossoms, summer rolls, and corn fritters.  The main course consisted of cheesesteak, soft-shell crab sliders, and fried avocado tacos.  An explosion of flavors!

Can’t beat Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for the icing on the cake!

There was dancing to funky tunes and, of course, a fun photo booth for silliness.  We did the hora and Stacey and Jon were lifted in chairs…fun Jewish traditions 🙂

Mazel tov, Stacey and Jon!  To a lifetime of love and happiness!
