Day Tripping: Summer Breeze



Summer breeze makes me feel fine //
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind //

This weekend my buddy Lo and I decided to drive to Palm Springs to do some thrifting. I honestly don't know why the thought hasn't crossed my mind before being that Palm Springs is an hour and a half away, and the selections are amazing! I scored a few killer pieces [I plan on taking some What I Wore pics soon utilizing some of my newly acquired threads] that I can't wait to show you!

I am wearing a Diane Von Furstenberg dress that I belted, and temporarily shortened [the dress is knee length; but when I belted the dress, I pulled it up to make it short. The belt keeps the "style" in place] as this makes the dress a little more modern. I plan on doing a Youtube video that explains this technique, as I tend to do this a lot. It comes in handy when you thrift dresses that are too long, or have a dress in your closet that you would like to spruce up.

Edit: My hair in these pics is a result of a braid and curl! I used the small purple plastic rollers, and rolled my hair about 1inch. - I was inspired by Sewing Stardom, after ooogling over her pictures for an insane amount of time! 

Here are a few places to check out if you ever make your way to Palm Springs;
Angel View Thrift
Estate Sale Company
Resale Therapy

Wearing:
DVF Dress
Jeffrey Campbell Boots
