This past Saturday I was invited by Kristian of Lily Kai Vintage Boutique to attend her summer cool down trunk show. We were able to shop while sipping sangria! Perfect!!!
I used to think vintage meant “old lady clothes”. Not anymore! Do you see this beautiful young lady! Her dress is vintage! That top that I am holding did not fit (so mad)! But how fly is that!
I left there with these two fabulous dresses!
I need to get a HOT belt for this one!
I would like to wear this with a fur faux vest and some knee high boots for the fall!
I wore these sandals to the event. Got them from the Shoe Dazzle shoe club. Now I am a Sole Society girl : ) Dang, my toes are a little ash… sorry!
This is my first vintage shopping experience and Kristian definitely (laugh every time I type that now) made it glamorous!!! Make sure you check out her online store here!
Do you buy vintage? Where do you get it from?

August 26, 2011 at 4:38 pmYou get some of the best stuff vintage…and then you can pretty much be certain that you won’t show up wearing the same thing as 10 other gals, right? (c: LOVE the new dresses, girl!
