Floral With a Vintage Flair!

Hello lovelies,

This post is extremely late this week due to bad weather and recovery from a weekend-long retreat I attended. I have been fortunate enough to be included on the Catholic Youth Leadership Team for my diocese and got to spend the entire year working with who are now some of my closest friends to plan the Annual Catholic Youth Convention. It was such a blessed experience and I hope I can do it again next year.

But I digress. I was so excited to learn that this week's trend was floral because I had just received a vintage dress that my grandmother wore from my mom and I am absolutely in love with it! I have a huge crush on vintage-style clothing, especially from the 1940s-50s era.

Sandals: Born; Dress: Vintage, handmade, similar one here: Eshakti; Earrings: Handmade

This outfit is great for a busy summer day when you have tons of fun to get to, but you slept in! If your dress is a wrap one like mine, it's super quick to get into. All you need to do next is pop on some cute sandals, a pair of earrings, and you're ready to take on the world! For makeup I just did the basics: Foundation, Mascara, lip gloss and blush, but you could definitely play around with a bright red lip and a cat-eye for an extra retro feel. The messy bun is quick and a bit of a modern touch, but if you really want to go all out, you can add a headscarf and maybe even some curls!

I hope you all didn't mind the wait too much, I apologize again, hopefully my next post will be on schedule!

Love you,

Bridget

Lots of Maxi Skirts!

Hello everybody!

I'm a few days late and extremely exhausted due to the fact that the maxi skirts I ordered only arrived yesterday and I am in the middle of crunch week for the acting program I'm in, but my mom and I managed to find some time last night to have a photo shoot and, well, one thing lead to another and I ended up having three outfits instead of just one!



This first outfit reminds me of Downton Abbey! It would be great for a dinner, winter party, or other formal gathering, but is very comfortable.  I paired a button down blouse with a fluid chiffon skirt for a very elegant, romantic look. And the shoes. I love these shoes so much! Their vintage flair is cute and stylish, but the low heel makes them easy to walk in.

This next look makes me feel like a Greek goddess! I paired a comfortable but classy chiffon peter pan-collared blouse with the same skirt and shoes. And, for a more put-together style, it's easy to tuck in the top and define the waistline better.

This outfit is so fun and comfortable! Great to throw on quickly for some summer shopping downtown or you could throw a denim jacket over it for the chillier months. I matched this classic boat-neck top with a fun pop of color in the skirt and an edgy statement bracelet.
