Vintage Vixen











Outfit
Top: ASOS...Run and get it Suspender Corset Top!
Skirt: Thrifted
Purse: Thrifted
Wire Twist Headband: American Apparel
Shoes: Jessica Simpson Dany Platform
Glasses: My Shop & Swap Event

I was recently featured at Goodwill Huntingg thrift challenge. It was my first guest post and I am still super stoked about it. I wanted to share the photos with you because these are actually the first photos I've taken on my blog that I have manipulated. I did something with the color to make it look more vintage. I really like the outcome. I will definitely start playing with photo manipulation a little more. This skirt has only one pocket! But I love it to pieces. It is one of my favorite paisely skirts, Check out the other one HERE!
Please excuse me if you see lots of outfit post rocking my Jessica Simpson Dany Platforms. They just work so well with any outfit and are super comfortable. They also add a wow factor and I get ALOT of stares and people saying wow how do you walk in those...and its pretty fun just walking around New York in them. Given I almost fell into a pot hole but that was my fault for tweeting while walking.

Have you ever tripped or falling because of talking on the phone or texting?
Once...I fell down a bunch of stairs at a concert. There was like 3 people trying to help me up.
 It was pretty funny but at the time my ankle really hurt.
What do you all think of photo manipulation?

xoxo
Monroe

    Those shoes are amazing. And the color is perfection.

    I never feel in heels, I feel in Timberlands though during college. Twice!! And once when I was working in NYC...in front of my coworkers. Stupid snow!

    oops I meant fell, although sometimes I can't "feel" my feet after wearing heels a long time! :)

    I LOVE this... I almost didn't recognize you! How cute are those glasses! I love the paisley print going on on your skirt! The tan accessories and Danny's are divine!

    This is such a cute outfit I love that top. I fall/ trip even without the phone distraction, ha. I love photo manipulation. I often have to do it since I don;t get to take any shots out doors and since Macs have cool photo enhancing options.

    Dearest,

    Great vintage fit. I have a vintage dress that has only one pocket too, I'm starting to think they did those things on purpose. ha
