Sarah Utter: est. 2009

Red dress and hair that took two+ hours, but I feel like I had something close to success.

Outfit Details: Dress, Shoes, thrifted. Stockings, Target. Earrings, gift from hubby

Black Heart

I was feeling very pin-up today, and here is the fashion result.

Outfit Details: Sweater, Skirt, Shoes and Hairclip, all thrifted.

Patterns

This is my first attempt at mixing patterns; I hope I did okay. I tried to channel glamour, business, and almost a burlesque feeling in my outfit. How do you think that comes through?

Outfit Details:
Blazer, Express. Tank, Vest, Skirt, all thrifted. Tights, Target. Shoes, Payless. Necklace, Claires.

Spring Retro

Yesterday I discovered that my husband, in addition to his many talents, is also a really good fashion stylist!! This discovery lead to me trying on the majority of my wardrobe and demanding he style outfit after outfit. He was a very good sport about it, and today's lovely ensemble is one of the results:

Outfit Details:
Shirt, Skirt, Thrifted. Tights, Target. Shoes, Plasticland. Necklace, gift.

Boyfriend Jeans

I just picked up a pair of boyfriend jeans from the thrift store, (okay, two pairs actually), and here they are. I read in a magazine somewhere to pair boyfriend jeans with something you would wear to a black tie wedding, so I chose this gold top with a white and gold heavily beaded jacket. What do you think? Do you like the look?

Outfit Details: 

Jeans, shirt and jacket, all thrifted. Shoes, JCPenney. Necklace, Forever 21

 

Easter Sunday

I found this lovely dress and have been saving it for Easter Sunday. Isn't it lovely?

Dress, Cardigan: Thrifted. Shoes: PlasticLand

No posts this week

 Sorry for the absence of posts this week. I am under the weather, but hope to be back in top form next week.

Thanks for your understanding. I'll be back with fun new outfits soon :)

Retro

I am feeling a little retro today in my fancy 70's esque shirt and owl necklace. I love the colors!

Outfit Details:
Shirt, Skirt, and Shoes: Thrifted, Necklace: Forever 21. Tights: Gifted.

Red, White, and Black

I found these shoes and this shirt yesterday while out thrifting with my friend Becky. I love them so much! Mad shoe love. It's hard to tell in the photo but the heel is actually gold. LOVE it! I think the shoes set off the red buttons on the top so nicely. Perfect for getting my hair cut today - as you can tell I'm in desperate need of a bangs cut!

Outfit Details:
Shirt: Thrifted
Jeans: Thrifted
Shoes: Thrifted 

It was 70 yesterday, I swear

But it's back to dreary, rainy and cold again today. These temperature swings are hard to handle, especially when trying to figure out what to wear!

Outfit Details:
Everything Thrifted!

Stylish or a Sack?

I found this adorable little comfy dress last week and have been looking forward to wearing it. Luckily the weather has continued to stay nice since yesterday, and so I may wear my new treasured find. (I also had to wait until my husband was out of town on business because when I first tried it on for him he said "Nice concept, but it looks like a sack.")

What do you think?

Don't worry - you won't hurt my feelings if you don't like it - I'm just curious about what you think :)

What is your oppinion about this dress?
	It's nice, but your husband is right, kind of shapeless.
	Looks comfortable, but not too stylish.
	I love it! Where can I get one?
	Eh - don't care either way.
	Other (I'll tell you in comments)

I got my wish!

The sun has arrived! Perhaps my poem from yesterday worked?!

I was feeling a bit wild but also fastidious today, and I think my outfit shows the dichotomy. But I like it. :)

Outfit Details:
Everything (tank, skirt, stockings, shoes) Thrifted.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I wore green in honor of St. Patty's day. And I wrote a little poem about the current weather in my part of midwestopia:

Gloom, gloom, go away,
Don't come back another day.
Rain, Rain, ruining my hair,
I want to wear spring clothes out there!
Grey, Grey, makes me sad,
Come on Sunshine! Make me glad.

It's my masterpiece ;)

Everything Thrifted.

I'm Baaaaack!

Sorry for my absence - I've been working very hard on my business and have sadly forsaken my lovely little blog for a time. But no more - I am back and ready to show you all of my great springtime thrift store finds!
