I went to Portsmouth, NH this past weekend to meet up with some friends who were in the area for the holidays. We had a lovely time, touring the Red Hook Brewery, grabbing coffee at Breaking New Grounds (my favorite coffee ever) and shopping around downtown. We stopped into Second Time Around, a vintage shop that also has a location in Portland. Funny thing though, the one is Portsmouth was SO much better and had way better prices than the one in Portland. Strange.
Anywho, I found these super fun navy blue boots on sale and couldn’t resist.
Coincidentally, I also saw a pair of Free People shorts hanging on a rack and thought, “Whoa – I own those. I should wear them more often.” So, there ya’ go. Outfit inspiration. The blue in the boots also reminded me of this old H&M coat I never wear (the collar kind of looks like a skinned muppet – but I love it). Nothing like re-discovering old things – it’s like they’re new again!
Navy boots: Vintage Etienne Aigner (via Second Time Around – Portsmouth, NH)
Blue jacket with faux-fur collar: H&M
Gray-green wool shorts: Free People (via Marshall’s many moons ago)
Gray sweater: Target
Tights: Marshall’s
Sunglasses: Chloe (via Ideeli)
Necklace: broken vintage watch strung on a chain
Since it’s the New Year, and most of us should be trying to save more, let’s all go dig through the deep recesses of our closets to find hidden treasures we forgot about. You never know what you’ll find in there!
