Seventies Disco Dream Shoes

Hello! If you've been following my blog for a while then you're probably aware of my extraordinary love for Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I purchased my first pair of Jeffrey Campbells while I was in high school and was immediately hooked. My original pair of Jeffrey Campbell black platform heels were quickly followed by a red pair and then a tan pair and so on and so forth. I enjoy making fashion-forward statements through bold choices in footwear and Jeffrey Campbell's attention-grabbing designs and styles allow me to do just that. 

The only downside? The slightly more expensive price tag. Most Jeffrey Campbell shoes retail for somewhere between $150-$250. Now that's not bad for shoes of their caliber- their shoes are typically made from high-quality materials such as leather or suede and last much longer than most others- but hey, that's still expensive for someone just out of college.

However, sometimes you can get lucky and score a major deal on Jeffrey Campbell shoes online on Nasty Gal or Urban Outfitters when they run a site-wide sale. I noticed Urban Outfitters having a sale a couple weeks ago and decided to check it out when I discovered the dreamy seventies disco heels featured above. I was instantly enchanted by their striking metallic finish, groovy silhouette and fun array of vibrant colors. The shoes originally retailed for $170 but I scored them for just $60- now that's a deal! 

Stay tuned to see how I style them this spring!

A Pop of Lime Green

Hello! You may or may not already know this but I work part-time at a fashion-forward tween clothing boutique in Richmond when I'm not working full-time at my office job, blogging or working on RaddayVintage. The boutique, Clara B., opened this past August and I've been working there (and loving it) ever since. We carry not only tween clothing but cute accessories such as trendy pieces of jewelry and colorful clutches. And while yes, it is a tween fashion retailer, the stuff we carry is so darn cute that I often find myself ooh-ing and aah-ing over it. I purchased the coolest holographic wallet at the shop a couple months ago followed by a translucent pink purse a few weeks later and then just recently this adorable citrus wristlet clutch.

A few weeks ago, we received a shipment of citrus clutches like the one I'm holding above in a variety of different fruity colors- think orange tangerine, lemon yellow, etc. and I immediately fell in love. If you're already following me on Instagram @toriradday then you probably saw my (multiple) Insta-stories raving about these clutches- they're just that cute! Buying one for my spring wardrobe was a no-brainer but it was a bit tricky to choose a color; I opted for a lively lime green one to best complement my spring wardrobe. I felt tempted by a pretty peach one but we all know that I certainly don't need another pink purse in my wardrobe!

The best part? The affordable $15 price tag. I guess you could say shopping at a tween boutique for accessories such as fun purses and clutches has its perks. If you're located in Richmond, pop on into Clara B. sometime soon and pick one of these clutches up for your spring wardrobe- you won't regret it! (Also on a very important related note- this wristlet clutch IS in fact big enough for your phone, ID & keys.) I'm totally tempted to buy another one for my wardrobe- keep an eye on my blog for another one of these fun, colorful clutches!

Winter to Spring

Hello! Ugh, where did spring go? I know it's not officially spring yet but the unusually warm weather that we've been experiencing the past few weeks here in Richmond tricked me into thinking that spring came early this year. But boy, was I wrong; temperatures have dropped back down and every time I step outside, the wind cruelly slaps me in the face, proving that spring hasn't truly arrived quite yet. The recent erratic weather has made getting dressed much more difficult because you never quite know if it's going to reach 80 degrees or if it'll snow.

For this look I put together a sort of winter meets spring outfit. This outfit can easily be adjusted to work for the warmer weather or chillier weather with a few tweaks here and there. I started styling the look around a high-waisted pair of vintage pants; their fresh white color feels appropriate for spring while their silhouette protects my legs against the lingering cold. I slipped on a black cut-out crop top with the pants. Its cropped silhouette and cut-out detailing work well for spring while its long sleeves make it somewhat okay for colder weather. By pairing the crop top with a pair of very high-rise pants, only a little sliver of my stomach was left bare. I added a stylish touch of fun to the look with a vintage leopard print faux fur jacket. Simple golden jewelry, neutral heels and a voluptuous ponytail perfected the look.

Dreamy Pastel Shades

Hello! What's one of my favorite things about spring? Definitely the fashion. And even more specifically, the light airy colors that are so prominent in spring fashion. Dreamy shades of cotton candy pink? Ethereal hues of sky blue? Count me in!

This recent outfit embodies everything that I love about spring fashion from the pretty pastel colors to the breezy silhouette to the open toe platform heels. I recently thrifted this light blue floral dress for RaddayVintage and love its longer silhouette, free-spirited style, soft feminine color and lovely floral print. You can check it out HERE in my shop for just $25.

I added more light pastel color to the look with a pretty pastel pink pair of heels and a beaded pink purse. I slipped on a shaggy, cream-colored sweater with the look to make it more weather appropriate. A couple Kay Adams statement necklaces, a handful of simple rings and bracelets and a few pairs of stylish sunglasses completed the look.

Rosy Shades of Pink

Hello! When I spied this pink, rose-print vintage slip dress at Rumors I immediately fell in love with it. Its alluring feminine color, dreamy rose print and silky texture were practically calling my name from the rack. I tried the dress on and to my delight it fit me like a dream. I often have a harder time finding pieces of vintage clothing for my personal wardrobe due to sizing issues so when I do find a vintage piece that I not only adore but that fits me well, I rejoice with happiness. Also, sidenote: how were people so teeny tiny in past decades?

For this look, I layered on the pink to enhance the dreamy hues present in the dress. I styled a pink lace bralette under the dress and slipped on a light pink faux fur jacket over the dress; I love the contrast of the textures of the dress, jacket and bralette and the way that the varying shades of pink play off of each other. I jazzed up the look with a pink beaded purse, major Kay Adams statement necklace and platform golden boots. A pretty pink pair of shades and a few simple pieces of golden jewelry perfected the look.

LightInTheBox

Hello! LightInTheBox recently sent me this gorgeous boho maxi dress to showcase on my blog. And I'm obsessed. Like seriously. This beauty definitely ranks high on my list of favorite dresses in my wardrobe at the moment. I mean, c'mon do you see the striking blue color, free-flowing silhouette and bohemian floral print? Swoon! I've been wearing this dress pretty much on repeat since receiving it. This is LightInTheBox's boho swing maxi dress and it retails for $27.54 here.

I wanted to play up the free-spirited appeal of the dress in this look so I slipped on a shaggy Free People sweater and simple boho jewelry with the dress. I added a touch of sophistication to the outfit by slipping on a black pair of heeled booties and classic golden sunglasses. A vintage western belt and delicate beaded vintage purse completed the aesthetic.

FeelingVagueVintage

Hello! For the past few weeks, I've been majorly crushing on the Instagram account  @feelingvaguevintage. One of my friends tagged me in one of their photos of a sixties shag sweater and I immediately fell in love with the account. I quickly caught on that the Instagram account was not just a platform for the most killer fashion inspiration and styled shoots but a platform to market the merchandise in their etsy shop of the same name, FeelingVagueVintage.

When FeelingVagueVintage announced a killer 20% off discount last weekend through their Instagram, I hopped on over to their Etsy shop page quicker than you can say "sale." This nineties mod minidress immediately captured my attention. I don't even know how to begin to describe my instant love for this dress. Like do you see the mod silhouette, oriental inspired neckline and pop art-inspired floral print? Swoon, swoon and swoon. I added it to my etsy shopping cart immediately and purchased it without a second thought. The $30 price tag on the dress was also pretty reasonable.

The dress arrived this past Friday and I swear I almost yelled with excitement as I saw the pretty little FeelingVagueVintage package. Even before opening the package, FeelingVagueVintage impressed me; the dress was wrapped in the cutest little blue mailing envelope. Most of my mail arrives in a standard cardboard box so this little bright blue envelope was a refreshing change from my norm (and also inspired me to buy cuter packaging for my own etsy shop, RaddayVintage.) The dress was carefully wrapped inside the envelope along with a little nineties-inspired temporary tattoo and piece of candy. Now that's sweet!

The packaging may have been sweet but the dress? As sweet as sugar. The dress wowed me in person even more than it did online and when I slipped it on, it fit me like it was made for me. I'd definitely rank this purchase as one of my favorite clothing purchases in a long, long time.

I've been trying to shop small more recently, it's nice to think that you're supporting an individual's hopes and dreams instead of a faceless corporation. And experiences like my shopping experience with FeelingVagueVintage point out exactly why we should try to shop small.

Nineties Mod

Hello! I recently used some of my store credit at Rumors, a local Richmond thrift boutique, to purchase this rad nineties dress from The Cosmic Circle. The Cosmic Circle sells a beautifully curated collection of vintage gems in Rumors and I always love browsing through their rack of clothing. I purchased this navy blue beauty as well as another little spring dress on a recent Rumors trip. The classic navy color and nineties mod silhouette of this dress immediately drew me in. And for less than $20, this dress was quite the score. I'd highly recommend checking out The Cosmic Circle.

I slipped on a mod pair of white shades to enhance the nineties mod appeal of the look. I accessorized with a personalized "Tori" necklace and vintage blue purse. Natural Glossier makeup completed the aesthetic.

Pink on Pink

Hello! Surprise, look who's wearing more pink! Just kidding, at this point spotting me in an all pink ensemble should no longer come as a surprise.  It seems for the past year or so I've been wearing pink on pink on repeat. Pantone sure was spot on when they announced "rose quartz" as a major color for 2016. Even now- three months into 2017- I find myself still incredibly in love with the dreamy color.

I styled this look around a little blush pink dress that MakeMeChic recently sent over. I'm head over heels in love with its feminine color and unique floral print. Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking but they sure are cute! Additionally, I love how perfect this dress works as a winter to spring transitional piece. This is MakeMeChic's "Floral Long Sleeve Dress" in pink and it retails here for just $16. Talk about a good deal!

I layered on more pink with a lightweight, blush pink bomber jacket that I recently received compliments of SheIn. Confession: I've definitely been wearing this jacket non-stop since I received it. I'm seriously obsessed. It just gives off such an ultra hip "it girl" vibe that I can't resist. You can bet your bottom dollar that you'll be seeing a lot more of me in this jacket this spring. This is SheIn's "Two Tone Zip Up Cut and Sew Bomber Jacket" and it retails for $23 here. Less than what I spend on gas? Now that's a steal for such a killer jacket! 

I accessorized with even more pink, donning a couple pairs of statement pink shades and a light pink vintage purse. A glossy swipe of pink lipgloss and simple golden accessories completed the look.
