What to Wear Wednesday: Florida Edition

So, I am stuck in South Florida. What started as a quick weekend getaway, has turned into almost an entire week. I'm missing out on all of the ice, sleet and freezing temperatures in DC! I know, I know, you all feel so bad for me...right? I'm stuck here without a cloud in the sky, warm calming breezes, the surf, sand, friends and my two favorite boys...depressing ;)!

Being here I feel the need to channel Lily Pulitzer, so here is my 'used' outfit of the week...

Vintage Animal Print Lily Pulitzer $248 via Ebay 

This dress makes such a statement that I would pair it with this simple clutch...

Vintage Black Straw Purse $12 Etsy

And these lovely flats...

Vintage Black Tambourine Sandals $45 Etsy

Hope everyone is warm and safe!!! Happy vintage shopping! And thanks Amy for helping me choose the clutch and sandals...she's got serious style, she was also my inspiration for choosing a maxi dress, as she wears them well!!!!

(ps..sorry the formatting is off, but this isn't my computer and i can't seem to fix it...and hey i gotta jump in the hot tub, poppin' bubbly)

A Favorite Find: Julia in Portland, Oregon

Here is Julia's Dresser that she bought for $150 in an antique store in Portland...

It was already painted in two tones of greige...isn't that awesome when you find something you love and you don't have to do anything to spruce it up! She also purchased the mirror at a thrift store around the corner from her home. This just goes to show that you don't have to buy new to get incredible furniture!

Since Julia has recently moved to Portland, she hasn't styled her bedroom yet. So here's an inspirational image of a bedroom for her fabulous dresser.... 

Mabley Handler East Hampton Bedroom

Thanks so much for sharing Julia! And if anyone else, blogger's included, would like to share their favorite find, please e-mail me at freshquince.danielle@gmail.com!

Come on friends and family lets get out and socialize away our winter blues!! Go on a date, have dinner with friends or host a cocktail party in this ensemble! Comfortable and versatile jeans, a dreamy spring inspired shirt, fabulous purse, dazzling earrings and enchanting Cinderella shoes...how could you go wrong??? I would roll up the jeans and since the shoes already make a statement, why not add some crazy socks to increase the wattage!?! Or just save the shoes for summer and pair them with a white goddess dress like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City...

Hope you all are staying warm and happy!!!! To see what Kat picked out in the Alexandria store go here.
