That's right!!! Yours truly scored a vintage Gucci bag. I actually got it at a garage sale for $3! My first real high-end designer item. Most likely my last. Okay, so I didn't really wear this outfit today. I actually wore my Ann Taylor dress, white belt, and black flats. Not very interesting but I changed into this because the husband liked this outfit, which is weird because he doesn't care a bit about fashion. So I played dress up while we ran some errands.
Wearing secondhand Express tee ($4), DownEast Basics tee (gift from my MIL), J Brand jeans ($158), silver cuff ($3, 2 years ago), black pumps from Korea ($25, 3 years ago), vintage Gucci bag ($3).
And thanks to Meg from Style My Story for using me as her outfit inspiration!! Check out her blog because I think she has GREAT style!!
P.S. Utahans.... I am considering having street style incorporated into my blog so if I see you, you may be on here next time!

I love that it's simple casual and still looking good.
I would love to see the street style, too! Can't wait for your next post : )

Hey!
I've loved your style! And the bag... such a bargain!
This is the first time I'm visiting your blog, so I'm reading some other posts... and loved the way you use your white skirt, simple and nice.

What a great score! I actually prefer vintage Gucci to a lot of the newer stuff. Classic and timeless!
WOW, only $3 what a great steal!! :D
& that sucks to hear that the Great Salt Lake was no fun. I was hoping that it'd be a good subsitute for the beach, but I guess not. Vacations to Hawaii will just have to make up for it I guess! ;)
seriously ? icant believe my eyes. real gucci ant a yard sale :)
I love vintage Gucci pieces. I have few vintage things from Gucci. Lucky WE! Haha!
XoXo
thanks for the feedback lady.
that's such a sweet sweet find. keep looking, you never know if it'll be your last big designer.
Good job girl; way to find those deals! :) ps- im on youtube now. uploaded my first video just right now (btw that wont be your last high-end designer item- just trust me)
Fantastic look and a fabulous score with that bag. You look lovely!
you scored! great buy!
Thanks for the comment! I love this outfit, its' so simple & chic!
Adorable look! And I'm so jealous of the bag, lucky you! <3
Congrats on finding that classic bag at a garage sale! How fun! Love how you wore it and photographed it.

Jessica
p.s. would you be interested in exchanging links?
Holy crap! You are one fabulous bargain finder...that gucci was practically a steal! Looking wonderful as always :)
score!
You can't beat that price for a Gucci...a purse always looks better when it's been used and abused. the whole look is fab!
such a cute Gucci!!
waanntt itt! xD
love the gucci bag! I'm hoping to find one for the same price :)
Holy crap! Well done. My favorite, favorite bag is a beat up Gucci I swiped from my mother's giveaway pile. Seriously. Have it reconditioned, and it's an heirloom piece. What a envy inspiring find!
Great find!! I think vintage high end is the way to go :) then you know a bajillion people won't have the exact same thing!!
love the outfits!

What a great find!
Maybe your interest in fashion is starting to rub off on your hubby. I love the outfit (and the shiny cuff)!
props to the gucci find... very nice. :D i am impressed!!
Let me know when you get your hands on a muffin tin of some sort. If we were neighbors...I would def. lend it to ya! The cupcakes were good..but I think I need a better frosting recipe that... conceals the buttery taste...perhaps more sugar is the answer. heh.
i hafta say that this hot weather is making being 'fashionable' quite a drag. although i agree w/ you that skirts and dresses are the way to go. i'm also trying to not add to my wardrobe either. you're being quite the inspiration, i say. hehe...
keep up the good work missy!
Wow, great find! 3 bucks?? What can we get these days in this economy for three bucks?! I love the big cuff on your wrist as well :)
magnificent find! I'm so jealous!
3 bucks?!? What a great purchase thats insane. You look great I'm not surprised your husband likes lol very chic

P.S. I nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award on my blog today! Check it out.
Hey thanks for visiting! I'm a huge fan of your style. You're totally rockin scarves and belts. I really ought to try that and soon. Can't wait to see more from you.
Fantastic find! I love the outfit you paired it with; so simple, but perfect! :)
I love this casual outfit! It looks so so comfy and it goes to a whole new level with the addition of the Gucci bag! Can't believe you got it at a garage sale for only $3. Garage sales have true treasures sometimes.
I think adding street style is a great idea!
WOW, what a great bargain! U look very casual chic in these outfits!
love the bag, especially since it is a bucket shape!it looks great on you girl.

Hi Elaine! I am the girl you stopped on my way home by the temple today wearing the black shirt w/skirt and sunglasses. Love your blog! How neat! I have a blog, too, where I sometimes talk about fashion and especially my favorite Etsy finds:

I would love to mention your blog on my site as you are a fellow Utahn with a passion for fashion. I especially like your post with all of the girls on bikes - very Bill Cunningham-esque (New York Times fashion photographer). Keep up the good work! Very inspiring!

vintage gucci bag the best!!!!!!!!
That's the mother of all scores!!! I love the bucket shape.
nice blog!
that bag is so amazing! xx
You give me hope that one day I will score a three dollar Gucci (or Chanel...just putting it out there) handbag! NICE. Was just reading over your closet inventory...and oh, it was thrilling. I'm serious. I love this kind of stuff. Makes me salivate. Also, I am going to have to do this: go throughout my entire closet and write it all out. I'm afraid it might take awhile. But now I am really curious.
ps. you are so inspiring and cool!
Score!!!! :D That's just awesome!
