Bad photos for your unpleasure

I'm back to relying on myself to take outfit photos. These suck, but at least you can see my new floral blazer and shoes, both thrifted. The boots are the second pair of lace up boots that I have found at this thrift store, the first ones were brand new Charles David and these new ones are never worn either, not sure if they are new or just never been worn, made by Zodiac. I have been wanting a pair like this that are comfy, easy to walk in and look great. So, yeah, they are perfect. I'm really not as mean as I look in these photos. I have one of the unfortunate down turned mouths, so I look upset when not smiling.

Im wearing-

Thrifted super soft bamboo tee, cut up to remove silk screen on sleeve

Thrifted blazer

H&M skirt

Thrifted Zodiac boots

New necklace made by me

Purse from Marshalls

Sunnies from F212

Bigger is Better

I finally figured out how to use large pictures, about time. It's only been a year and 4 months of blogging. I guess I can now live up to the name my boyfriend has given me Jocie3000. This is what I wore today. I am experimenting with mixing patterns, I like how it turned out. Most of the things I am wearing are thrifted which is awesome. I'm about to head out and go scout some new things for the store. Keep an eye out!

Keeping with my sewing spree, I have made two original pieces. The dress is made with old tablecloth lace, which is a great way to get cheap lace. I love to recycle old fabrics and give them a new purpose. The shirt is made with part of a skirt I got thrifting that was too long (floral), as well as some thrifted striped material I got in Seattle.

I'm thinking of making some white lace leggings out of the remainder of the lace. I'll post photos if I do.
