Recent Thrifts: Gold twist bracelet ($1.59) and Coach Red Bangle ($1.89)

I'm so excited! I went to the Value World recently and got a fantastic 80's plaid dress for $6 (pictures coming soon!) and these bracelets for super cheap! I can't believe this bracelet is COACH too! How do I know? Well it's engraved in a gold plate inside the bracelet. Fantastic. And they didn't mark up the price! Such a steal. The other bracelet is a brand called MONET and I'm not too familiar with that brand, but the Value world had lots of it's vintage jewelry. Value world is also where I got this gorgeous blazer as well. Gosh I love that place.

So I'm feeling like vintage love at the moment, so I can't wait to debut some more of my finds on here, I hope you like them as much as I do! So I hope you don't mind so many vintage detail posts. In other news, I recently did a photo shoot with some of my colleges Kendra and Koren of KKNS Photography/Graphic Design. We filled up their memory card to the brim so now it's just a matter of picking a few photos to debut on The Dippster, so I hope you enjoy them when I get them up too.

See ya again soon!

Peplum Top (Fashion Star for Macy's on sale!)

I said earlier that I was getting tired of peplum, but it seems I'm not quite done with it quite yet. "But this time it's different!" (said as the boy-boy sighs~* haha) I mean the sophistication of the cut, slimming the waistline, looking clean, and appealing. Anyone can have a change of heart about a trend I suppose. Including me!

More crop-top love. It's a tad too hot right now to wear anything so literally I feel like wearing nothing unless it's airy and skin-worthy. Alas, it's summertime! And my wardrobe is only filled with thin airy shirts I can breathe in.

Loving. Crop. Tops. They're my go to item for the summer especially in this sudden heat in Indiana. I don't know what I wore last summer, but this summer is all about crop tops for sure! Big thank you to Akira for this crop top! If you don't know, ShopAkira is a boutique based in Chicago which I frequent actually whenever I get the chance to be downtown Chicago. I love their edgy branding and style, and I feel like this crop top does fits my usual hunger for showing some skin ahaha!

End of the Sophomore year, insanely hot. The end of the year brought lots of challenges in terms of how much I can push myself creatively, and I really feel a place I fit in this design world. I feel the pieces fitting in all around me, and all the support necessary is abound. This spring feels fresh and new, white is the new black. White the color of renewal and cleanliness. I've got a new appreciation of this romantic spring color, and it feels so right. Let's celebrate more with this color.

Ever since I raided my mother's closet over a year ago in high school, I've been obsessed with the vintage cuts, styles, and of course the velvets. Since then, I've expanded my closet even further with additions from local thrift shops with vintage clothes, accessories, purses, costume jewelry, sunglasses, and shoes. This collection of stuff was the biggest incentive to start my own blog, as I've taken a preference to buying cheap for the sake of a college budget haha! But of course sometimes I buy a bit too much (too much instant-buying), so, I've recently started up my own Etsy store to alleviate the damages ;D 

It's called Ur-bann-ed Vintage, and features some of my hand-picked vintage items that I've found. Check it out for a mix of grungy and angelic vintage. :D

But anyhow I hope ya'll enjoyed the haul, but just curious, where do you get your thrifted finds? Lemme know in comments! Good night for now though, See ya'll tomorrow for an outfit post. <3
