100% Thrifted Pick of the Week (12.30.08)

, originally uploaded by marcinéma.

Marcine always always looks perfectly put together and lovely in a timeless sort of way. Whether it’s one of her classic ladylike looks such as this or one of her cute quirky schoolgirl ensembles like this one, she has a way of combining interesting elements with an ease and seamlessness to be both admired and aspired to. Not to mention, she’s a total charmer this one :)

First of all, her outfit makes me want to run out and buy a pair of lace tights STAT. I love how the lacy pattern mixes here with the pattern on the dress. Also, vintage silk cocktail dress (that she found for a dollar by the way, bravo) + black velvet belt + lace stockings + leather bag = brilliant mix of textures! Who needs color to be interesting?
