Pick me up at the thrift store



This blouse was part of a two piece set. Both pieces are absolutely amazing. The bottoms are these fabulous high waisted flowy shorts. It almost looks like a skirt and of course, its the same print. I wore them yesterday and I felt so great in them. Now THESE shorst featured here I also got at the thrift store. I am so happy to have finally found something like this. To think I almost paid$30 for a pair at Urban Outfitters. They were pants so I cut them right before wearing them. The pant was just a little too baggy. I got two other super cool things at the thrift store. It was all just $15! I think my wardrobe is set for the summer. Its been super hot here, but that's not a surprise, just an annoyance. Even in this little outfit I was veryyy hot.
Thanks for reading :]

The pants I've been waiting for

We're seeing pants everywhere aren't we? Not jeans, not stretchy stuff, not exactly harems either. Pants! And guess who finally got herself a pair? Yours truly. I found these babies at a new vintage store in my town. Its so precious! The presentation is amazingly flawless unlike so many vintage stores. Turns out this place might be hiring and I totally need a job so you bet I applied. This job would be perfect for me! So I'm crossing my fingers, sending out good vibes into the universe and contemplating killing a rabbit for its foot.... I MUST get this job.

That unusual smile surfaced from the hopes of possibly working at this place and of course from the joy of wearing these awesome pants. Those are my new shoes, Vince Camuto :]

My birthday is Monday so my awesome mother took me out today to a very delicious and authentic venezuelan breakfast in a hole in a wall restaurant. It was AHHmazing. I haven't had Venezuelan food that good outside of my grandmother's kitchen. After stuffing our faces until moving was difficult we soldiered our way through the mall. Where I found these.

My mother bought them for me as a birthday present. They are Vince Camuto and super duper comfortable. So yay, that made my birthday great.
I think its time to introduce you guys to my partner in overspending, silly moments, and great times. Mi Madre.

No she didn't have me when she was 16. She was just blessed with awesome genes. Hoping I got some of those too. Ain't she a doll? A stylish doll!

(JCPenny blazer; thrifted top; F21 jewelry and pants; Target boots)
I've been having too much fun with photoshop :] But this picture really portrays how this outfit makes me feel. I feel sort of badass, all kinds of fabulous and very excited to have finally have found a blazer that fits me like I want it too. I've been in need of a blazer with a vintage 1980's boyfriend fit. I thought I would find one at a thrift store but no luck. I looked at vintage shops online and I did find a few but they were over priced and there is always that possibility of it not fitting like you want it to. Then I found this! JCPenny seems to have a bad reputation. Not classy, not chic, too cheap? Bullshit. Except for the too cheap part. But my blog is called Poorly Fashioned after all... . I love this place. You have to search a lot but they are very up to date with trends and there is never a day when there isn't a sale. Things are never ever full price. You have to look in the woman's department. Juniors is a total joke. This blazer is perfect. Not to heavy, perfect fit. But here is the trick... Its a size 12. This size was just the right length and right amount of baggy and came with shoulder pads and all. It might as well be vintage. Finds and tricks like this is why I love fashion and why I don't mind being on a budget. The day I went they had all their fall stuff on 60% off! This cost me, $22.

These two things I also got from JCPenny. Once again I went big on the sizes. This tank top is an XL but fits just like a tank dress. It will be perfect for summer. I'm planning on wearing it with strapless bra-like things like the one above. I need to buy more! The tank top was $3!!!!!!! These pants... man I love these pants! They remind me A LOT of these American Apparel pants
that I almost bought online the other day. Thank god I didn't. Once again, there is a great chance the fit might be weird, especially with these hips. These JCPenny pants cost me $15 and fit like they were made especially for me. The bagginess doesn't accentuate my hips, it actually makes them look slimmer! And mannn are they comfortable. I cannot wait to wear them!

This post is titled Palo Alto because that is the name of the movie I'm watching right now. Its greatttt! You should check it out. Indie, funny and sort of romantic.

Animal print, Animal skin

PETA please don't come for me.

(Random brand coat; f21 old top; thrifted and altered leather skirt; f21 tights; target socks; thrifted bag;)

This is my friend Michael Rockmore DeVore. He is super cool and has awesome shoes. We went and watched a movie that night. Something Wolf. It was sappy. But I think it was good...
You know what is good? The Assassination of a HIgh School President. I saw it last night.
You know what else is good? I got this

for $1!!! That's mesh is the middle. Its super cute and comfortable and fits loosely. I cannot wait to wear it! We've had a bit of a cold front in FL hence the coat and the socks and what not. If you've been keeping track, I've yet to post pictures of like four? new items? Obviously, I haven't even been keeping count. I also got a BF Blazer, a peach/pink lacy tank top, and high wasted demin shorts. All for less than $20. My mom went thrifting with me for the second time ever yesterday and she actually really liked. She even got two dresses. She still doesn't get why I'm into the 80's but I must say my mother is quite a stylish lady. I'll get a picture of her soon. I've got a hot mom, you totally want see her :]


ONE MORE THING, I'm selling these super duper awesome boots. They are a 5 1/2 and have been worn maybe twice. So if you know anyone with tiny feet, let them know :]
