bow tie as necklace: vintage
shoes: vintage
This outfit combines two of my favorite recent thrift finds. The first is this vintage bow tie. I just clipped it to a gold chain that I already had to make a necklace. I've also thought about wearing it on a belt. The other find is this pair of vintage Hush Puppie oxfords. I actually saw them at thrift store a few weeks ago but didn't buy them because one of them was missing a shoelace and I didn't feel like bothering to replace it. Lazy, I know. But this past week, at another thrift store I ran across a bag of unused vintage shoelaces still in their original packaging. I immediately thought of these shoes and hoped they would still be around. Well, I guess they are ugly enough that no one else wanted them because when I went back to get them, they were still there. Yay!

Something about grey and brown together gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside... maybe its just me LOL - Love the bowtie and glasses!!!
lovin' the bowtie necklace--adorable!
You're the best-est looking! Ever. And always.
Those shoes are adorable. I can't believe they sat unclaimed for weeks! It seems you have much better shoe luck than I, and that lil' vest is pretty cute too!
i love the bowtie necklace, i'm been conteplating make one myself for a little while.
This outfit is so sweet.
i heart that vest...
It's so nice when you change your mind and go back for something and it's still there! I'm very surprised, those shoes are so cool with all the little punctures (wingtips?)

Those shoes are killer! I think they are totally ugly/beautiful! I think these sort of items are what define our style the most! You are very inspiring!
Thanks for all of your comments!
Kennedy: These are my favorite jeans too! I'm almost hesitant to wear them these days because they are getting so broken in I'm afraid they are going to get holes in them. As for where I got them, when I lived in LA I worked as an assistant in the fashion industry and received a lot of gratis merchandise. Trust me; it was the best part of an otherwise unglamorous job. At one point I received several pair of Superfine jeans. I think they are available online but I'm not really sure. Thanks!
Anonoymous: Thank you! I shop at thrift stores, vintage stores, charity shops, flea markets, you name it. Anywhere I can find vintage.
Your bow is totally awesome - just too cute!
Normally i stick to cons and flats, but these shoes are something else. Really lovely and so perfect with the outfit.
