It’s me again!
Goodness I feel like a celebrity or something getting asked to do these posts on Meagan’s blog. Her work is always so beautiful I feel so honored to be a part of these fun little posts!
This weeks outfit is actually somewhat of a simple one.
I realized though, as I sat down to do this week’s write up, that these are all pieces that I wear a lot. I guess they’re all sort of my statement /go-to/essential pieces if you will.

The shirt, similar to last weeks trench coat, I got in England at the famously wonderful Primark (seriously, if you’re ever over there, you have to go. It’s like the British version of Forever 21). I love this shirt. I probably wear it too much actually. But it’s just my favorite.
And I’m not 4 anymore so I can dress myself and wear it as much as I want and it’s ok. Right?

The skirt is one I thrifted, I believe from The Clothes Rack actually (which is one of my favorite thrift shops located on Cary Street for all you Richmonders!). This is the perfect black skirt. I can dress it up, I can dress it down, I can layer it with things, it’s great. I love it.

The jacket is yet another thrifted piece. I also wear this all the time. Except when I’m wearing jeans. Because, you know, this isn’t the 90′s you guys.
This jacket goes with everything though. At least I think it does. I’ve even worn it with super fancy dresses to give my outfit a little bit of edge and dress things down a bit. It’s perfectly worn in every way, just like a good jean jacket should be.

The belt used to be my Moms when she was my age and the bracelets are thrifted (except for the beaded bracelet, I made that!).
The bigger ring is Michael Kors and the smaller one is from Etsy!
As for the necklaces, I won’t try to distinguish from the masses but they’re a mixture of vintage, thrifted, heirlooms, Target and handmade by yours truly!
Sometimes just one isn’t enough, ya know?

And then of course last but not least the shoes!
I found these for a whopping $15 in a store called Rue 21. I walked in with a friend one day and there they were. It was pretty much meant to be. They make me feel like a modern day Dorothy.

So there you have it!
Oh, and for all of you who don’t know me… yes.
My glasses are real.
I know I’m silly sometimes but I don’t go around wearing fake glasses.
I’m just channeling my inner Buddy Holly.

I know it seems a bit odd-what on earth is Betty’s closet?? Basically I – along with my fabulous guest blogger A Girl Named Leney - are starting a feature where we showcase our favorite outfits inspired by fashions from the era of the ever so fabulous Betty White! We’re both really into vintage, and Leney is the queen of vintage fashion. She’ll be talking about some of her favorite outfits and where she got her pieces-seriously her outfits are amazing!!! This week we had a Jackie O inspired look, and I’ll leave it to Leney to tell you more!
