Purple Scarf!

I found this over the weekend and absolutely loved the color! It's thrifted and so are the pants the sweater is Forever 21!

Red Polka Dots

This is the first in a series of my original fashion sketches that I've mounted on a small plaque and have posted for sale on my Etsy page at Normalindastudios.etsy.com.

New Wallpaper Design

This is one of the new wallpaper designs I'm working on.

Jeans!

It's casual Friday again and I went to Happy Hour after work so I tried to dress them up a bit with the gold top, but didn't really like the way it turned out!

June Gloom!

It's still kind of cold in the mornings but as soon as the hot weather hits we'll be praying for it to stop, so for now this is comfortable weather-wise. Everything but the jewelry was thrifted.

Hot Pink Polka Dots

Hot pink polka dots! This silk top is fun because of the polka dots. You can't see them in the photo but I made the earrings and the pink beads actually papier mache.

Short Short Dress!

This dress is short! I usually wear it with black stockings so its not as noticeable but it's too warm for tights!

"Gold" Bow Peeps!

Here's the next pair of "Bow Peeps"! (my shoe line) These are gold glitter, fell in love with the pointy toe, but the black velvet bows give them a very sophisticated feel. They're NEW, a size 7, and are for sale on my Etsy page at normalindastudios.etsy.com.

Yellow and Black

I don't wear yellow ever, but this top is really more mustard, really it is! Anyway, it's the first day of summer but it was overcast until the afternoon so I was able to wear my Donald J. Pliner boots (thrifted of course!)

City Shorts

Going to the museum today, one of my favorite things to do. There's an Aztec exhibit at the Getty Villa, really excited! Thrifted shorts and sweater.

White Linen

It's the weekend so comfort is the key!

Casual Friday Boots!

Well, it's casual Friday again and it gives me the chance to wear my favorite boots. They're so piratey! The rest of the outfit isn't but this is as costumey as I get to go to work.

Very Pink Plaid

This top is a hot pink & white plaid, which sounds really terrible but is actually quite nice. I was phenomenally lucky to find a scarf the same color both are chiffon.

Lilac Pants!

Just loved the color of these pants!

Hand-Painted Earrings

I hand-painted these earrings and had to use a magnifying glass! They're polymer with glass beads.

Red Tie-Dye Skirt

Hard to believe I'm wearing tie-dye, swore I wouldn't be caught dead in it, but this skirt has my favorite color combination red and dark pink! I know it's hard to see the fabric from this pic but take my word for it, it's cool looking, and again with the red & black, oh well!

Red & Black Outfit

I can be fickle about my clothes and sometimes I just insist on wearing a particular item and that was the case with these shoes, I really like them and was determined to put an outfit together so I could wear them. Everything is thrifted except the earrings. Voila!

1960's Revisited

Definitely a '60's look! This dress is chiffon with a retro flower print. Wore it to a birthday party over the weekend. I thought the large white earrings helped the 60's feel. The dress was thrifted.

New Shoe Design

This is a pen & ink drawing I just finished. It's the first in a series that I'll be posting before submitting to show in a gallery in San Pedro, CA called "The Treehouse".

Casual Friday Linen

Well it's casual Friday again! These cropped linen pants are comfortable and cool, but boy do they wrinkle. Worn with a white tee and a cotton jacket. I always make sure I pick up new black and white tee's at the beginning of every season. They're inexpensive, and can be worn with pretty much everything when they're new. After a few washings you'll only want to wear them with more casual week-end wear.

White Cutwork Top

I originally bought this top to use as a bathing suit cover-up, it has beading and beautiful cutwork in the front and on the sleeves. I paired it with capris to wear to work and added the large black earrings that just seemed to balance out the outfit. All items except the earrings were thrifted, including the shoes, which were purchased quite a while ago.

A Little Asian Influence

This top is a favorite because the fit is great! I'm always running across these tops and they're fun to wear because they look sophisticated and are perfect for work, or going out. It's hard to see from the picture but the fabric is gorgeous!

White Summer Dress

This is a great cotton dress with a crocheted top, the first white dress of the season! It's comfortable and I wore the scarf for color. All items even the shoes are thrifted.

Red Dancing Shoes

These red shoes were originally purchased to dance in, they have a sturdy strap and are very 40's looking with a big red button on the side, and a platform. The polka dotted instep makes them really cute! They're on ebay now.

It's Casual Friday!

Hi everyone, It's casual Friday, and I'm just glad to have a day off tomorrow. This is one of the few days I'm not wearing black, everything is from the thrift store but the shoes.

Gray, Green and Brown

Olive green capris, a grey quarter length sleeve sweater, and a brown t-shirt, I thought the wide belt pulled all the neutrals together, but not so sure. All items except the belt and shoes were thrifted.

Turquoise Skinny Pants

These are my favorite turquoise skinny pants, and as always, worn with a thrifted black top that actually came with the black chain necklace and a short black cotton jacket.
