I woke up early this morning with the hopes of responding to blog comments and emails before getting started on my dreadful four page formal analysis paper due in art class later this week, but before I could finish everything I would have liked, my friend Courtney told me about an estate sale here in town. It was the last day of the sale and everything was 50% off, so of course I couldn't resist the vintage clothing temptation and jetted on my emails! I'm bummed I couldn't get back to you all (and probably won't be able to for the next couple of days since my school schedule is jammed packed with tests and papers this week), but fortunately the sale did turn up some great things! I got a few vintage skirts (one in the perfect blue gingham that just screams Dorothy), a nautical swimsuit, some vintage shorts, and a Christian Dior tie (for work). There were a few more things, but I can hardly remember everything right now. Those last day sales are the best! You go in and grab ten or fifteen things, and you only have to pay about 25 bucks. It's a shopper's dream!
Oh yeah, I'm finally wearing the new trench I told you about last week. I'll have to do a side by side comparison of the two so you guys can tell me which one you like best; I see no need for keeping both.
Vintage Trench: Saver's $20
Dress: F21 $5
Jeans: F21 $12.90
Vintage Riding Boots: Flea Market $20
Vintage Purse: Goodwill $3
Owl Necklace: Baker's $15

Love the trench and the dress and that owl necklace! Wow sounds like a cool estate sale, I can't wait to see some of the items you got!
I need to figure out where all these estate sales are. They sound like a blast! That trench is fabulous!
Gorgeous Starr. I love this look and that trench is amazing with it's hood!!
I'm very envious of your sunshine and lack of snow.
P.S. Thank you so much for the order. I can't wait to send you the anchor tote!

Love this outfit, especially that cute little print in the dress! I have lots of vintage owl necklaces- it's so funny that they are making so many in that style now! Forty years later they are still the greatest necklaces...

gorgeous dress! perfect floral. one of these days i need to go down to little rock and check out some of those estate sales. i think you may have better ones than we have in northwest arkansas. you find the most amazing things!
That trench fits you perfectly. I'm so weird, I always see a reason to have two of something. I'm clumsy and spill on myself, or tear it, whatever, so I'd keep both trenches, if I were you. Plus, does the other trench have a hood?
I love love love anything to do with owls. This necklace is gorgeous.
this trench is so fantastic! i'm loving it on you with this sweet floral dress. and what a great photoshoot location! the reflection in the lake is gorgeous.
if only i knew of any great estate sales nearby where i live! :)
Estate sales sound like goldmines! I really need to find some.
I love your boots, and the photo of them, which looks like your standing on a cliff over a deep chasm.
Oh wow that estate sale sounds like it was amazing. I need to go to more of those for sure! I love this outfit. The owl necklace is amazing and the print on the dress is so cute.
Great coat.. what a great deal at the estate sale you went to today!! :) I definitely need to check one out..
xx Love & Aloha
Awesome awesome trench. It's so great that it has a hood!! That's like a dress with pockets, it's just a bonus that makes it that much more EPIC.
lovely boots and dress!!!
*Squeal*
*Ahem* My sister has a similar Owl necklace, but yours is ultra cute. And I can't tell you how much I wish I had that top/dress/thing. lol
This is perfection in my book! Love it!!

ah, LOVE the outfit. that owl pendant is, like, the coolest thing ever.
Hey Starr,
So I just realized that I knew about your chictopia way before I discovered your blog... I'm so slow. I remember I first saw you granny trousers photo on chictopia and I was captivated! I love this outfit of course! Lucky. I don't know where the estate sales are in San Francisco. Boo.
the necklace and the boots are my favorite...
That owl necklace is so funky, and such a value-for-money piece! Understated, but original, and very quirky indeed!
