Faceless Nameless







This is not my kind of outfit at all. I don't typically wear florals, and I sure as hell don't wear them with big granny knits at the same time. But, whatever, you know. I'm all about trying new things.*

This is also the first time ever that I've posted a look wearing something that I found at a thrift store. I rarely go to thrift stores (I'm a germaphobe), but I was in a weird mood a few days ago and hit up Savers. I found some fun things, including this belt! It was only $3. I didn't even Lysol it yet. Oops.

I was making cold girl face in all of these pictures, so I made an executive decision and cropped myself. I find myself making a lot of executive decisions in life, some more appropriate than others. I realize this statement should come with an example to back it up, but I'm tired, so Imma pass on that one.

Thanks for the feedback on my last post! I LOVED reading all your comments and will be responding to everyone soon.

* This is foreshadowing at its finest. Check back soon: I have a surprise for you!

Dress: Urban Outfitters
Scarf: H&M
Belt: Thrifted

  1. That is an EXTREMELY granny knit and I love how you are making this all work for you. I am a bit of a germ-phobe, but I will still buy things from thrift shops. I won't buy things from blog shops, though. Weird or what?

  4. I really like the Savers in Duluth. I saw a blouse I wanted in there but everyone thought it was ugly so I didn't buy it.
    Love this dress though :]]
    You are so much braver than me still taking outside photos!!

    Can't wait to see what your surprise is :]]

  7. I actually really love the granny knit!! I am intrigued about this foreshadowing though. :]]

    I go thrift shopping a lot, but I am still really weird about disinfecting things too. I had a friend buy a pair of sunglasses from Savers once and wear them immediately - I was in shock!!

  8. I applaud your adventurous spirit. Experiments are where breakthroughs are made.

    And kudos on thrifting. It opens a world of new possibilities 'cause you can try new things for the price of coffee.

  16. Wow I love how you worked that scarf!! Pink looks really good on you!!

    I bought my jeans at zara last season, but you're right it's hard to find the perfect pare. Although that's with every jeans isn't it :)?

    Wow Florida sounds nice! Never been there, but heard a lot of good stories!

  20. This is a really lovely outfit, I love how you used the scarf, it seems way more incorporated into the outfit then having it just thrown round your neck :)

  23. I just stumbled across your blog and it is fabulous- new follower! This outfit is divine- I love the pale pink cardi knit combined with the floral print dress! xo Emily

  24. Well, apparently, Miss Ashley, you need to wear florals and grannie knits more often because you look beautiful in them :)

    Aaaand your hair makes me want to be a blonde....even though I'd look a bit weird (kind of like Legolas from LOTR with blonde hair and dark eyebrows, ha)

    ReplyDelete

  25. Ohh that dress is so cute! And I feel terribly disgusting... I went thrifting a few months ago and bought some great pieces but I never washed before wearing them! I mean, I'm pretty sure they do it before they sell them, but now I'm realizing how disgusting that is! Haha geesh. Looking forward to your sneaky little surprise!

  26. You should wear florals and grannie knits all the time! It looks perfect! I real love how you belted the scarf!

    ReplyDelete

  27. Love the outfit and the cropping is interesting. And hooray for some thrift shopping - you know that meets with my approval.

    Looking forward to the surprise - how exciting!

    ReplyDelete

  28. I have almost that exact same belt that I found at a thrift store! Weird. I think mine was like 1.75. I wear it all the time.

    I love that dress and how you belted that scarf to make it look like a long cardi. Tres chic.

    xo,

  29. It's always exiting to try new thing (: Plus the color it's gorgeous!

  30. i really love the way you pulled this outfit together even if it isnt your norm, you look cute in this

    ReplyDelete

  31. Cold girl face? Would love to see that! I'm neither into florals nor granny knits, but your combination looks alluring. Love the rosé hues.

    ReplyDelete

  32. I always love your combination of different textures/styles/individual pieces. That first photo to me, honestly, looks like it came straight out of a magazine editorial, which is also a compliment to your photographer :). Your hair looks divine by the way! Did you happen to do something different to it that day?

    You should definitely check out more thrift stores (despite the germiness) - I've found some really great things there (that are also inexpensive), they just need several washes/sprays of Lysol, haha.

    And I'm incredibly excited about the upcoming "new things."

  33. I actually love this outfit! Its so different the way you put everything together .. I especially love the gloves.

    ReplyDelete

  34. I am loving the pink on you and the florals are quite awesome. I understand to an extent the germaphobia but overcoming it is soo worth it - VERY nice belt. I don't know what Lysol is, but I always wipe thrifted leather goods with anti-bacterial wipes and works wonders. Plus hundreds of people could have tried on and pranced about in a brand new item in regular stores - I guess there's no escape really, but I do understand!

  35. Well, you've probably guessed from my last post that I LOOOVE this outfit and am a big fan of this look!!! haha Oddly enough, though, I don't usually dress the way I like to decorate.

    I love how the florals on the dress are just slightly 80s, yet modern at the same time, and the pink knit is fab. And the whole outfit gives you a great silhouette.

    The only thing I feel grody about from thrift stores is shoes. But I think they spray them, sorta like at the bowling alley. At least, that's what I told myself the one time I bought shoes there. ;) Thrifting can yield you some awesome finds, though!!

    Sorry that you still have snow! It sure does look pretty, but I know you are tired of it.

  36. I think the floral print and the pale pink together is just so pretty.:D

  37. Haha, I love the granny knit and the florals- totally something I would wear! :) And I like the way you edged it up with the fishnets and lace-up boots, I think the overall outfit looks great on you :)

    ReplyDelete

  38. Ok seriously!!I Am like the biggest floral fanatic you will EVER meet I swear!! I LOVE THIS friggin outfit!!!!
    Wow can't believe how blonde your hair was here!
    CRAZY!!!

  39. This is not you at all maybe...but this is one of my most favourite outfits of yours. All these soft florals, pink and various shades of brown looks so beautiful on you. It's perfect...believe it or not.
