One Year Blog Anniversary and Vintage Giveaway

Tomorrrow will be my blog's one year anniversary. It's hard to believe that I've been documenting my outfits for a year now. I want to keep the celebration pretty simple. I just want to do two things. I want to share some of my favorite outfits of the last year with you and I want to host a little giveaway. Information and rules for the giveaway follow the outfit pictures. I'm also going to be taking about a week off from blogging and making some changes to the blog and getting ready for another year, so if you don't see any blog posts for the next week or so, that's why. I'll be back soon!

An outfit from my very first month of blogging. I love this vintage slip showing under the dress and how come I never wear these bracelets anymore?




Pretty sure I hated this outfit when I took the photos...I really think I like it now. Or maybe I just like that my hair is actually done.





It was *freezing* when I took this one but anything for an outfit photo, right? I really loved the combination of purples.




I might only love this one because I wore it to a local record store's sidewalk sale and came home with a lot (but not nearly enough) of new stuff.



Pretty much any outfit that involves this coat would be on my favorites list. I thrifted it for $7 and I'm pretty sure it was originally from wal-mart but whatever. It's kind of coat perfection.



Loved these tan trouser pants with the shiny shirt. Maybe my favorite outfit of the year.



Grey on grey...went through a grey phase.



This outfit is just...weird, I know. But what can I say? I like weird things and I *needed* to find a way to wear a summery dress when I bought it in the late fall.




Mixing patterns, mixing necklaces...I don't know. I just love it.



That vintage coat and that hat make me a very happy girl.




Simple, but these hoots and berets tend to become my winter uniform.





Goofy picture but simple, wearable outfit.



One of my favorite Goodwill sweaters ever...and I have a lot of Goodwill sweaters.



Leopard on leopard...did this for a pattern challenge. I wasn't sure what to wear but when I put this together, it really seemed to work.



Missoni-esque skirt, Nine West booties, brown tights, denim shirts, feather hat...all things I was obsessed with (or maybe still am) for a while.



$5 Goodwill dress. not so old but people actually thought it was vintage.



This is another one that might be a favorite of the year. I can never get enough of black and brown together.



Shredded tank top, black skinnies/jeggings/whatever. So simple but I liked it.



This 50 cents dress has become one of my go-tos.



Found these amazing flared, wide leg jeans in a consignment shop and can't stop wearing them. Combined with the off the shoulder tunic (belted for shape), vintage Aigner bucket bag (I'm kinda in love with vintage Aigner) and my mom's old clogs...just love.
