A new romantic.


(Ahh, my roots!)
Vintage Laura Ashley coat: thrifted Dress: Jovovich-Hawk for Target Tights: Hue Leg warmers: Sock Dreams Mary janes: thrifted
Today we braved the cold long enough to take a few outfit photos at the river. This velvety little kid's coat is one of my absolute favorite thrift finds! It's a bit too swingy to wear with everything, but great for little above-the-knee dresses. I feel strangely romantic in this outfit.. kind of lacey and velvety and delicate. Like I should go on a carriage ride if I didn't despise them so much (those poor unhappy horses!)

  1. I love this outfit! It seems to romantic, like you pointed out, but also sort of dark, slightly gothic.

  3. Lovely. The pictures are almost wistfully romantic. Like waiting by the sea for sailors. I like how you layered leg warmers over the tights.

  10. I had no idea Laura Ashley made coats but now I want to track one down! That one looks even better than old Rothschild ones, and I love the simple colors you're wearing. The coat and the Jovovich Hawk dress were made for each other!

  11. So pretty! I've been obsessed with dark swing coats and winter-white lately, the details here are dreamy.

  13. Hello there! We've never met but I love your blog! I happened upon it through your apartment therapy home entry and liebemarlene vintage. Not to freak you out, but I actually am a vintage loving, antiquing, dress-lover myself. I actually live in New Bern also, and one of my favorite pastimes for years has been thrifting at the local antique stores and goodwill (not to mention salvation army). Just thought I should give a shout out! :)

    Poppyseed Vintage: Haha that's so awesome, and thank you! :) My favorite thrift store is about to close at the end of this week (Helping Hands) and I don't know what to do with myself! It was a goldmine. D:

  16. Oh no! Where is helping hands located? Historic downtown? I'm devastated that I never even knew it existed and now I will never get the chance to explore! :'(
