vintage inspired fashion on a budget

so in the last post i challenged myself to build an vintage-inspired outfit without using anything vintage, today i try to put together another vintage-inspired outfit for under $35! yes the whole outfit for under $35 (ring and charm bracelet excluded)! and every item was under $10 (see below)…  other than the vintage and thrifted items, i still have to admit that I had a few advantages, for example i got the beautiful charm bracelet from Tinny as a birthday present, also the peter pan lace collar top and the ruffled waistband shorts were both from Dressup, a wholesale online store based in Taiwan. but i just wanted to prove to myself… and possibly some of you, that a cute vintage-inspired outfit doesn’t need to be expensive!

how did i do? =)

Vintage Romance

hi lovelies! so you probably know that i’m a big fan of things vintage, but authentic vintage items aren’t always easy to come by.  so i decided to build a ladylike vintage-inspired outfit, without actually using anything vintage. well i did cheat with the bag (sue me!), but i think i did okay, what do you reckon?

Limited! Handmade Mustache Ring

I’m selling my own DIY mustache ring for fun. I have enough material to make a few more if anyone’s interested. I am not, by any means a professional jewelry maker. This is just something I’ve created for myself to wear. If you happen to like it and don’t mind that it’s not a perfect piece of jewelry, feel free to write me at whatanniewears [@] gmail.com or leave a comment below =)
