Miso Soup & A Day Of Thrifting...

Mar 17, 2011

{JACKET: H&M, TOP, AMERICAN EAGLE, JEANS: AMERICAN EAGLE, SHOES: H&M}

Just as my tittle suggests... I had yummy Japanese food, went thrift shopping, and Mr. Hubs joined me for a day of fun. I bought the cutest things, and it’s safe to say, I scored BIG! I ran out of there like a giddy teenager, and spent the next hour rattling off numerous outfit combinations to the hubs. Side note for Mr. Hubs: thank you for listening to my outfit ideas, for smiling, and for nodding with engaged zeal -you rock!

I would also like to state the obvious and say that I wore this outfit when I went thrift shopping, and I really like how it turned out -it’s my “girly & romantic” denim look. I also tried something new with my hair and liked that too. Yup, I was on a roll. OK you guys, I can’t wait to share my new thrifted besties with y’all. I have laundered, serenaded and bonded with them, and my dog has already slept on them. Welcome home new clothes! xx veronika

  1. Love a romantic top with a leather jacket! You always write so funny:) Your braids look fab too, should do that more often.. I often end up with too small braids for my liking.

  142. Leather jackets + plaits in your hair = perfect!
    And that's as far as my algebra goes...
    But really like the look; hippy meets biker, a very nice combination for spring!
