Over the weekend, I did something pretty major…
I cleaned out my closet in a big/huge/3 oversized (& overstuffed) trashbags kinda way.
When it comes to my wardrobe, I get severe separation anxiety just thinking about giving anything away. It’s weird, but I honestly feel emotionally connected to my clothes/shoes. Each piece hanging in my closet has some story connected to it, & when I give it away there is always that fear the memory will go w/ it…
…or, of course, that I will one day really want to rock those fringe boots that no longer have any fringe left cause I wore the life out of them. Logical… right? Big time praise to my sister & Mom for being the voice of reason through the whole process.
The day after the closet-purge-sesh, I went to my local thrift store to unload. While I was waiting for them to look through my stuff, I did my usual rack browse. Which is when I came across what looked like a pretty rad white silk pajama inspired shirt. I took a second look, & realized it was a legit brand new (w/ OG tags) blouse by Elizabeth and James.
Um yea… that’s what I would call a serious thrift score!!!
Who woulda known this lil’ gem of a blouse was precisely what my newly cleared out closet was missing! It paired perf. w/ my all time fave “leather like” flares, chic white pumps, & a basic crop top… giving off those b&w minimalistic vibes that I can’t get enough of lately!

P.S. Almost forgot to share the good news for you guys– the thrift store wasn’t buying! So, be sure to check my online boutique as I will be adding tons of new (& amazing) items on the reg! :)
++ GET THE LOOK: Elizabeth and James Mirta blouse, sold out- similar versions here & here || Blank NYC Vegan Leather flares || basic black crop top tank || ASOS Potter Pumps in White || crossbody Crocodile bag- similar || round Ray Ban sunnies || chained double ring || vintage inspired etched knuckle ring || Fossil boyfriend watch, sold out- but I’m dying over this black & rose gold version. ++
++ SIDEBAR: When it comes to pants, I swear by the above cut. So much so that I often get my jeans altered to have that perf. flare, although these beauties didn’t need any alterations. It is such a flattering look that when paired with pointy-toed heels, makes your legs look super long and thin! The leather look, just an added bonus. ++
