Surprise! I wore this on Friday night to my boyfriend’s suprise gathering thing at one of our favorite bars. All of his friends were there, and there was cake! DRESS: American Apparel SHOES: Buffalo Exchange (thrift success!) BELT: Buffalo Exchange SCARF: XXI TIGHTS: WalGreens The scarf is from Forever 21, a place I usually consider a go-to for throwaway trend items; things that are hot now that in two months noone will ever wear again. Needless to say, I don’t want to spend too much money on such items, I reserve splurges for classic items which I will wear forever. However, this scarf was about $11 and made of silk, imported from India (see below for detail). It’s practically a steal, even at vintage stores you would have a hard time finding something of such good quality in mint condition for less. The shoes and belt were another score at Buffalo for me. The belt was $12 I believe and the shoes were $16-$18. Both in very good condition. The belt is real leather with a cowboys/horses design engraved in it (see below for detail). The shoes are grey with a leather upper and about a 2” heel.
