Classy Casual Friday
Even though Friday is ancient history by now, my 4-year-old went to the trouble of taking photos before our crazy classy casual Friday got started, so I'm sharing them!  It was a little out of routine to do a Monday Style Prompt on Friday but I hope someone out there rose to the challenge of...

If you've been following VV Boutique Style for any length of time, you know I love dresses.  Dresses to me are public nightgowns - comfortable, functional and easy to wear!  Since starting this thrifting adventure, my dress collection has grown considerably!  It's not my fault.&nbs...

Polka Dot Pin-Up
If you follow me on Pinterest, you probably have an idea what I wore today.  I only say that because one of my friends guessed it.  She's a "pin-teller," along the same lines as "grocery-tellers" and "the mentalist."  Anyhoo, I wore a recent thrift score from VV Boutique, a $4.90 p...

Gingham Style
I CANNOT stop pinning gingham looks!!  The sad news is that I have exactly ONE gingham piece that I only recently thrifted so though I can't make this "Gingham Week" like some people, I am "pinspired" to style this top in so many ways that it will definitely become one of the most versatile ...

Versatile Pieces
KCan we just pretend it's February 28th?  It's only fair considering how we lose a couple days (or more) every single year!!  I'm indignant.  It's February's fault I didn't get this post up in February, not mine.  Now that that's settled, let me show you the last piece for Feb...

Thrifting Theory
I have a theory about thrifting.  My theory is that despite the increasing popularity of thrifting, despite the increasing prices in some stores, despite the necessary fluctuations in stock, there are ALWAYS treasures to be found!  I have a heart full of thrifting faith - the right piec...

Sweet Thrift Score
As I got dressed this morning, I found myself thinking, yoga pants are not okay for casual Friday but fleece-lined leggings are totally fine.  I can't fully explain it; some things you just know.  Anyway, I knew they would be perfect with my latest sweet thrifted find, a long black "Swe...

Tuesday Tee
The problem with holiday Mondays is that the following Tuesdays behave just like a regular Monday, right down to putting your pants on backwards then leaving the house.  Just me?  Oh...  Luckily, the Monday Tuesday Style Prompt eased the start of the work week somewhat - style your...

I Heart Heart-Print
It's no secret that I'm a fan of heart-print clothing and all things heart since .... birth.  I am happy to wear hearts any day of the year, but Valentine's Day festivities are extra incentive!  Since last week featured super "professional" looks like gold boots and comic-book-rear-ends...

I've come to terms with the fact that I have an eclectic style.  I like vintage pieces, mod metallic pieces, classic pieces, stripes, skirts, fun prints, basic black and everything in between.  When I go thrifting, I hunt for staple pieces but am always on the lookout for interesting fi...

Just Another Metallic Monday
If that title instantly makes you think of the Bangles, we should be friends.  I was pining to wear my new gold leather short boots, so I gave myself a good reason to in this week's Monday Style Prompt - Metallic Monday!  If you wore anything significantly metallic yesterday, you'll get...

Thrift Haul Saturday
CONFESSION:  Yesterday when I was tucking my vintage floral wool sweater into my pencil skirt, I ripped a hole in it.  Upon further inspection, the fabric was a bit weak in that spot OR it could be I'm an aggressive tucker.  In any case, when you lose a special piece, the only thin...
