{Almost daily outfit of the day} Simply pink 3.7.12

Thrifted vintage silk blouse; Old Navy jeans; Jessica Simpson pumps; Gap belt; Frye clutch; vintage rhinestone necklaces; Forever 21 bracelet

At this time tomorrow, I'll be hurling down the freeway headed to Austin for the Texas Style Council Conference. It's hard to believe that a year ago I was preparing for the same event as an attendee (and nervous newbie blogger) while this year I'm one of the co-chairs! I'm so excited to speak on the panels, mingle with designers and brand managers, and meet bloggers I've only interacted with on Twitter or through blog comments. If you'll be at the conference, please come by and say hi. I'd love to meet you!

{Almost daily outfit of the day} Animal magnetism 3.5.12

Vintage thrifted silk blouse; Gap Outlet cargos; Old Navy belt; thrifted Ferragamo pumps; vintage thrifted python clutch; Forever 21 bracelets

I'm not going to lie: This outfit was built around my shoes. I thrifted these Ferragamos for less than $10 at the Salvation Army, and now I'm searching for any excuse to wear them. Great as these shoes are, though, my current thrift passion is silk blouses. Silk feels so luxurious to wear, and you can scoop up a silk blouse for around $5 (as opposed to J Crew's versions for $98.)  I generally ignore sizes when considering silk blouses. The more oversized they are, the better they look.
