A Birthday Wishlist

Wow, I guess it's that time! My 22nd birthday is October 13th, and looking at the calendar today I realized it's already less than two weeks away. Woah! It actually falls on a weekday, so I decided to do something fun the weekend before to celebrate. Next weekend, Bettie and I are going to take a little trip down to Columbus for the Gil Mantera show and (hopefully) some thrifting adventures. I'm kind of thinking about gifting myself one of these treasures to wear for the occasion!


































Left: Vintage '80s slouchy shell cardigan, $30 from Retro Lane on Etsy.
Right: Oversize burnt orange '80s sweater, $44.99 from Persephone Vintage on Etsy.


Studded bucket bag, $35 from Bajue Boutique on Etsy.


Etienne Aigner tapestry bag, $38.50 from The Pudding Store Vintage on Etsy.
















































Indigo jeggings, $35 from Dorothy Perkins.



Dotted tights, $16 from Topshop. Anyone know where I can find these in plus size? And preferably in black...





























Baccarat heels, $39.99 from Modcloth. (I think I need to face my heel fear and try some out!)

I'm trying not to do a TON of online shopping, since I am soon to be jobless (hurray for quitting the evil corporation!), but I'm so in love with these things! I tried to keep this list in my price range, even though I wanted to go crazy with an expensive "fantasy list." :P And mostly, to be honest, I am quite content with thrifted goods!

  11. Dotted tights are cute. Macys has some similar to that in plus size.

    FYI, the I got those leggings from DP. They are very short waisted (so if you have a butt, they are annoying) and the waist band is very FAT. (not wide, but fat as in thick) so they have the potential to show through thin shirts...

    Hope you get you B-day wished...
