outfit du jour: what you want

Inspiration Monday time again...one of my favorite outfit days (let's face it, on Monday, we all need a little inspiration). I'm still working with a limited wardrobe and so I couldn't wear any of the t-shirts I *really* wanted to wear. Instead, just a plain black one with this wintery skirt. It turned out okay though, I think.

I want to say a quick thanks to all my new readers and followers. My following swelled to 300 over the weekend (counting google and bloglovin') and I'm super excited about that! I love hearing your comments and questions and get back to them all as soon as I can so keep 'em coming. Also, if you become a follower, leave me your link and I'll follow you too!

Finally, if anyone is looking for some great vintage bags, I've added a few to the shop and they're featured below my outfit post. I think there's something for every price point!

Skirt: Charlotte Russe, $5., Shirt: F21, $4.

Vintage Spoon Cross Necklace: Handmade, Gift.
