The Fabulous Five

Each month I feature five amazing thrifted or vintage outfits from other style blogs. Here are my May picks.
1. Susie of Love Ship. I absolutely fell in love with this dress when I saw it via calivintage and had to put it in this month's edition. I am pretty much obsessed with lace anything right now and this dress is the epitome of what makes lace so desirable. Her blog also happens to be full of amazing, jaw-dropping pieces and the way she puts together outfits is nothing short of incredible. This dress was thrifted for $5!  I am all about amazing steals. It is what makes thrifting so exciting, the thrill of the chase so to speak. I also love how she paired it with black socks and t-straps.
2.Mitzi of Night Lights. I've known of Mitzi's style via chictopia soon after I started blogging and was so happy when she started her own blog. Her dark hair and pale skin give a dramatic backdrop to her stunning vintage styles. She has such a distinctive style and looks she makes the vintage look so current which is my preference. When I saw her rock these vintage trousers I was so taken with this particular outfit.  I am so into trousers right now and I love how she pairs it with white tights and that lovely hat.
 
3. Katy of Kansas Couture.Okay, here we have at least two of my obsessions du jour: high waisted shorts and lace. I'm also partial to blazers and her shoes are indisputably incredible. I was vaguely aware of her blog's existence but recently discovered this outfit via weardrobe. This outfit is 100% thrifted. I am such a fan of that (obviously).
4. Tranish  of Tranish. I found her blog via weardrobe when she was rocking an amazing afro wig. Although I was slightly disappointed that was not her actual hair I was so glad to find her lovely blog. I love this take on the nautical theme. The vintage jumper is incredible. Her blog contains more of her unique take on fashion.
 5. Simone of Shoeless Simone. Her blog is my most recent find via chictopia and it is definitely worth a look. The photography is stunning. She also finds some amazing vintage pieces including this gorgeous turquoise cut-out dress.
