Dah-lings! I'm so busy leading a fascinating life in my new thrifted earrings that I can barely stand still for you to seeee them!!
Yah right. The look says it all, my thrifty pals. And though I am no longer an earrings person - I reserve all my bling thrifting exploits for pendants and the occasional brooch - I simply could NOT resist these absolutely GORG vintage earrings I found in the Value Village showcase for - wait for it - $5.99!!
Deal!
Does it matter I don't lead the kind of life these earrings (not clip on but the screw on kind) surely merit?
Not really. I could play dress up with them in my apartment, introduce them to all the lovely glam thrifted dresses I never get a chance to wear ....
Mmm. Let me think. Or I could somehow manufacture a glam Grace Kelly type life, and jaunt around the French Riveria in some flashy sports car convertible with the top down - with the earrings, of course.
Only thing is, I'd need to make a million dollar life for myself, all because of these $5.99 thrifted vintage earrings.
Perhaps I'll see if I can integrate them into my existing life and wardrobe before doing anything too drastic?
What do you think? Hi-low dressing has been all the rage for years now - do you think I could mix them up with skinny jeans, or perhaps some wide leg pants?
Great post, G-Q, very chic earrings. What a find! I love the high-low dressing approach, it's very Parisian. I would wear those beauties with a simple t-shirt, cropped pants, and flats (you know me...I'm rather boring!) I cannot wait to see what you'll be doing with them around the French Riviera or T.O.:) I'm also loving your new wallpaper, great shot! Have a good week, looks like spring is finally here!!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Veronica, I don't know how such a chic gal about town can ever call herself boring! But I like your approach to these earrings - I will try it and hope I can pull it off! Thanks - do you mean you like my new header? When I first read that I thought you were referring to wallpaper on my wall! Tres confused, moi, these days!
ReplyDeleteLOL, you're right, I meant the 'header', wallpaper is something else! I'll forget about tech lingo and stick to basic anglais and earrings. I just love to see your finds, G-Q, so much fun! I just remembered the feminine Italian oxford shoes you featured a while back, they would be so perfect for this weather! Hope you're wearing them! Have a good day! V.
ReplyDeleteVeronica, all three of your comments from last week are gone as a result of the Blogger issues, and I can't get them back! But I am so glad you found the dress and yes, I bet I saw the one you saw but didn't buy in the east end - talk about six-degrees-of-thrifting-inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI do have the shoes and have worn only a handful of times but may try them with skinny jeans for a bit of a punked out look - maybe with the earrings too!
YES! You go for that punked out look!!! Don't forget the picture, those shoes would be so awesome with skinny jeans, ettt les boucles d'oreilles bien sur! I know what you mean about the comments I lost a bunch too, makes me so sad! I'm glad you got to read the ones I left you, I am still so thrilled with that dress! :) Enjoy the week, wear bright colours if the weather continues to suck! ;)
ReplyDeleteVeronica, I will try the little punkster outfit out soon, and here's hoping we'll both be wearing our respective thrifted dresses very soon!
