please help! I can’t decide if I want to hem this or not.

yes I’ve been taking lots of pictures with blossoms but they’re ALL OVER THE PLACE on my bf’s property. Haha

Really quick post before heading out the door. I ran out of clean clothes at the bf’s place so this is the result. Yay for laundry procrastination!

for the CHIC IN THE CITY post:

“I’m wearing a top from f21, which is basically the shop in Austin I visit the most often… even though it’s not really considered a ‘local’ shop. Feathers Boutique is one of the most amazing vintage shops (if I’m not mistaken, it’s Jane from Sea of Shoe’s must-stop place when she’s in Austin), along with other vintage boutiques on South Congress district called “soco” (New Bohemia, Prototype Vintage).
The 2nd Street District is known for little cute boutiques in pretty colors (Eliza Page, Beyond Tradition, Girl Next Door, Estilo, the Dress Shop, etc.)
The Domain is the “go to” shopping plaza for the designer brand boutiques (ex: Betsey Johnson, Gucci, etc.)
However, my person fave is the garage sales and thrift shops. I can get $12 vintage fur and brand new blazers with nordstrom tags on them for 99 cents. I also love the local Buffalo Exchange (29th & Guadalupe) which is right across the street from me!:D

Anyway, for more pictures of the boutique crawl, visit this post on my blog. There are pictures of Girl Next Door and Dress Shop interior.

Simple palettes work best on busy days when I have to run a million errands. This is probably my favorite blazer… with its structured shoulders, peplum shape and tweed material.
