As if, Clueless is my shit!! 

Soooooo on the same thrifting adventure I found the TO DIE FOR palazzo pants I also found this INSANE 90s dress! I think all the good shit knew I was coming that day and just jumped into my basket! Like I found sooooo much.

Of course I went home and gutted out it's insides cause the red underneath was not cute...NO MA'AM! I had to shake my finger like tisk tisk!

 LOOOVE the results...don't you??

Anywho Mama has a Tumblr now if you haven't noticed!! And on there I get a lot of questions and beautiful comments but the anons are fucking HILARIOUS!! I try and answer each question as honestly as possible. Here's my favorite one so far...

Anonymous asked: "Do you want to get famous? Is your husband supportive of what you are doing? Are you ever planning a trip to LA? Are you afraid of getting old? Sorry so many funny questions! You have great style! Be careful don't get big headed when you become big. : )"

Me: "hahaha oh anons!
i don’t give a fuck what happens with my blog as long as i get to express who i am…i’m not really that type of blogger. i’m more word of mouth!!
my hubbie supports me in everything i do or i wouldn’t be with his ass!
i’m not really scared of getting old, my mom looks 30 and so does my dad. haven’t you heard black don’t crack unless you smoke it?
thank you and no worries i’m probably the most down to earth person ever in real life, so i’ll never come off as something i’m not!
kiss kiss"

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

vintage floral bodysuit, F21 roses shorties, Blowfish cork wedges, vintage crosses necklace, H&M sunnies/bangles, Ozone floral socks, Zara belt and random ring

So I'm staying with my bestie, Darine, on the Lower East Side.  6 fucking flights of stairs and no elevator but the reward for your strenuous effort is a beautiful space. I love the exposed brick, hardwood floors, industrial lighting and the little touches of vintage/antiques here and there!! It's like being at home minus all the duties of a hard working Mom. New York has captured my heart and leaves me speechless every time I walk outside...only 9 more days to go!! 

Thanks guys for all the lovely comments and support! I'm having a blast out here and I'm more than happy to share it with you. 

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

kiss kiss,

Virgin

Pay ATTENTION to the DETAILS

(everything thrifted except F21 clogs)

vintage floral halter maxi dress, vintage crochet bag with customized fringe, DIY turban headwrap, Forever 21 platform wooden clog sandals, vintage fringe floral capelet, vintage bangles and B.E. rings

My outfit may be simple but there's a lot going on. From the crochet cut out floral halter neckline, the print, the flowing fringe on the bag, crochet turban, platform wooden clogs and bangles for that jangle jangle!

Now me and the dress go way back! I got it years ago at Wasteland in San Francisco on one of my lovely trip to visit my girl, Darine. (Who now lives in New York, JEALOUS!!) It was love at first site and was made to fit me! So I snagged it and we went on to live happily ever after!! THE END!! Yeah me and this dress will never part.

Anywho, I had an AWESOME birthday, even though the first 6 hours were spent car shopping. SNOOZE FEST!! But we decided on a VW Golf, yay. Then instead of sushi we went out for crawfish AGAIN!! I could seriously eat crawfish 3 times a week or if it's put in my face. I can't resist, I'm coo coo for crawfish!! Hahaha! Now were about to do part 2 of my b-day and Joel's taking me thrifting at some of my favorite places. I have a $200 budget, SWEET!! 

Love you all as always and I'm just happy to have you here for me! 

THANK YOU,

Virgin

Oh yeah I forgot to mention my last post and this one, the photos were taken by Ephraim. 

(I get 50 mommy points deducted for that one, hahaha!)

You can actually see his shadow in the 5th shot!

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

(everything thrifted from head to toe except F21 shoes)

vintage paisley roses caftan dress, vintage Smokey the Bear hat, Target gray sweater socks, vintage Mexican leather bag, vintage necklaces, vintage bangles/watch, F21 platform clogs and B.E. rings

I can tell by the birds chirping and the chill in the wind that Spring is coming to Texas my friend!! I love Spring...it's my anniversary with Joel, birthday and Spring Break with Ephraim. It felt soooo gooooood out today I was able to wear some vintage. Joel calls it a sheet with a hole but I fucking ADORE caftan dresses! The pattern is key when choosing one cause you can easily come off all Mother Earth and shit and we don't want that. NO MA'AM! When I found this one, I thought the roses softened the paisley print and so I chopped it off halfway to my crotch, sweater socks and clogs. I am all for slouch and flow, shit that looks like it's about to fall off! Hahaha, you know what I'm talking about??

I have the weekend off so I'm going to believe it or not go to bed early! I haven't had a good night's sleep in like FOREVER! Plus I've been sick ALLLLLLLL week, blahs! Some chest, head cold bullshit. So I'm going to take a lotta pills and pass the fuck out! And hopefully wake up fresh and new to go thrifting.

Thanks for loving me cause I love you all back just as much!

Kisses,

Virgin

HOMEBODY

vintage ribcage knit sweater, Urban 1972 crochet knit shorties, vintage southwestern belt, vintage Smokey the bear hat, DIY leopard F21 platform booties, leopard faux fur Zara bag, vintage bangles and B.E. rings

So my OBSESSION for crochet has leaked over into Spring. Pretty much anything with a scallop trim is a go for me! Crochet shorts are a little hard to pull off, they could easily look like a bathsuit cover, yikes!! So I paired my shorties up with a close relative...a loose knit sweater. You can't go wrong with neutrals and knits, right??

For some reason I feel you can never have too much leopard print. I've been wearing it in bulk. Shoes, hat, bag...I gotta have at least 2 pieces at a time! Found the perfect velvet leopard dress the other day. I keep forgetting to take it in to fit Mama but I buy so much crap I forget about the other crap I bought the week before! I would make the cutest episode of Hoarders cause we could have a FASHION SHOW!! Whooooooooo, fuck yeah!!
The beginning of the the week has kicked off and I already feel like I'm 10 days behind! Ephraim's been sick so I have been waiting on him hand and foot to make sure he gets well. That's my baby, geez I hope I don't make him a Mama's boy I HATE Mama's boys!! Sooooooo needy and rely on their mom for everything, HATE 'EM!
Thanks for keeping me going,
Virgin

TALK TO THE HAND

(everything thrifted from head to toe except DIY booties)

vintage rust bubble slvs mini dress, vintage crochet floral smock vest, DIY vintage drawstring southwestern bag, vintage headband with Bueno Bueno feather tail, DIY leopard laceup F21 booties, vintage hand of Fatima necklace, vintage bangles and B.E. rings

Hey girl hay! Now this dress goes to show that a little puff in the sleeve ain't never hurt nobody, hahaha! This outfit is totally me...dress and a vest. I've must have done this combo a thousand times, it never gets old. I guess I got the gypsy hipster look down, lol!

Anywho, I LOOOOOVE taking pics at the studio, SOMETIMES, cause it's easier for me to do it over and over until I get the shot I love. Plus it freezing like a devil in heaven right now!! (30 degrees WTF Texas!!) When I'm outside you have the crazy cat lady, construction workers, runners, etc...EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE! And do they care if you're busy? GOD NO, they just talk to you like you're old friends or like you have all the f**king time in the world to be OUTSIDE TAKING PICTURES, AAAAAHHHHHH!! Whew, breathe, breathe! I just get sooooo pissed! I'm on a time schedule, DAMNIT!

So it was nice to have a little peace and quiet, plus good shots!

Before I go I want to say WELCOME WELCOME to all the newbies who recently joined VV! You guys are coming out the woodworks and I love it!! Word of mouth is a mutha even if you're the underdog of the blog world. So keep spreading the love around! 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone!

Kisses,

Virgin
