The Gold and the Beautiful!

So I attended The Gold and the Beautiful Clothing Swap in Chicago a couple weekends ago.  It was a really good night.  This was the first swap I had ever been to, and it was a lot of fun.  I met some awesome ladies, got to get rid of some clothes that didn't get much love anymore and replace them with new ones!

I wanted to post a couple of photos from the event.

The photos were taken by Lucy Hewett and they all came out amazing.  See more photos here.

You can't see my whole outfit but here are the deets:

Cardigan: Torrid
White V-Neck Tee: Old Navy (in store)
Black Ruffle Skirt: Orginally Target (thrifted new with tags!)

Not shown:
Black tights and Black knee high boots: Torrid

First.

I have been wanting to make a serious blog for a while.  I thought it would be really great to have different features and contributors.  I am hoping to have a couple girls contribute to this blog so there will be a few different perspectives on fashion.

I will be updating soon with outfit posts and shopping tips for those with similar issues finding clothes. I also want to do a feature on fashionable women I meet while out randomly.  It will be sort of a street fashion kind of thing.  I think it's important to represent other people's style.

There will be heavy emphasis on thrifting in this blog.  I look forward to updating regularly starting very soon.
