A Jewel of a Weekend

This weekend was full of great finds and new skills. It started off with me going to a new thrift store literally around the corner from my home. It opened about a month ago, but Friday was the first time I had a chance to go in and check it out.
At said thrift store, I found two dresses— neither of which I ended up buying because of fit issues— and a gorgeous vintage cameo necklace. I thought it was going to be the find of the week, until I visited yet a consignment shop I’d been hearing about from friends.

At this shop, I found a vintage, navy, silk, polka dot Ungaro blouse for, get this, only $40. Every piece of Ungaro this shop had was priced under $100, which baffled me, but I’m smart enough not to complain because I love the label and being able to get vintage Emanuel Ungaro pieces for less than $100 makes my life.

I was so empowered by such amazing finds— it’s funny how shopping does that— I decided I was going to do what something I’ve wanted to do for a while and try my hand at making necklaces. I headed to my local craft store, got some supplies and ended up making two necklaces (at top).

As far as I’m concerned the weekend was a success, and you’ll be seeing more of all three necklaces in the future.
