Sunday turned out to be a gorgeous sunny day….a big turn around from a few days ago of frigid temperatures.
I’ve been reading quite a few blogs lately about vintage shopping. I was especially intrigued by vintage/estate jewelry. I dragged hubby to a nearby town where I hoped to find my first vintage piece….sad to say, no luck this time. 😦 I did manage to find a vintage inspired, handmade necklace by a local artist that made my eyes twinkle and hubby’s wallet a little lighter. It wasn’t the vintage piece I was looking for, but I’m pretty happy to have found it! 🙂 I’ll share it with you on another post.
Now for my hunting gear ~
And here are some pics from the hunting ground ~ a quaint little town with lots of unique shops and great restaurants!
I want to thank dear hubby for indulging me in my new-found hobby (blogging)… for taking endless photos…for taking an interest. Thanks hon’!
P.S. I’m not fretting over these tattered jeans ~ age appropriate or not ~ I’m going for it! Lol!

GREAT outfit for hunting for treasures! I’m sure you’ll find that perfect vintage piece you’re hunting for – it’s out there! And, I really feel like the *best* jewelry is just starting to make it’s way back into the public – women from the 1920s-1940s had WONDERFUL taste in jewelry – real and costume! Happy Hunting!
Ooh I hope so! I just need to find them!
I think your ripped jeans look fantastic! I’ve been dying for a pair for forever and I haven’t found the right amount of damage 🙂
Hi C! Thank you so much! I like them, too…just have to be careful not to over do it because of my age.
Thanks for visiting!
I think you look amazing, and this is my favorite combo. Jeans, boots, white button down and blazer. I say go for the distressed jeans. You rock them!
Thanks DeeAnna! I’m going for it! 😉
You make ‘casual chic’ looks so effortless … simply stunning
Awww….thanks Wendy! 🙂
What a fab “hunting” outfit! Nothing beats a white shirt and jeans (with all the accessories to glam it up)! Don’t worry about not finding something this time, I’m sure you will find something next time!
And LOL at that cute pup pic! That’s me in the mornings before coffee!
xo, sam
Thanks Sam! I’m quite excited about finding something vintage & unique!
Fabulous ensemble! I especially love all of your locations – especially the giant evergreen moose!
Thanks Ashley! We must have looked like couple of tourist…just clicking away. What I do for this blog… 🙂
such a great. classic look! you just reminded me of my tan blazer that’s buried somewhere in my closet…
p.s. i just read your about me page and i’m so inspired by you 🙂 i really love the bible verse at the end. it’s just what i needed to read right now…
This means so much to me! Thank you!!
I think you styled those jeans wonderfully. Really rustic, adventurous and age appropriate. :]
Hi Stacey! Thanks for the thumbs up for the jeans…one of those should I, shouldn’t I…I’m getting adventurous alright…lol!
I love this look. I have the elements but can’t seem to pull it off or find the perfect white shirt. I’m, thinking might not be right for me.
As far as vintage jewelry. I’m not even close to expert. Hell I don’t know a dang thing other than I have been blessed with some very nice costume pieces. Maybe, just maybe you have inspired me to pull them out of their hat box and wear them!
thanks so much for stopping by for my link up. “All I wanna do is have some fun”
Hi Tammy, Me, too! I’m having a blast and meeting some really terrific people along the way! You can definitely pull this off…I think you and I have a very similar taste in clothes. 🙂 Vintage shopping is new to me…I’m kinda excited to see what I can find. I just remembered to link back to your blog..sorry. Thanks for letting me share in Trending Through the Decades.
The jeans are looking just right with the whole outfit. Looking forward to more on your vintage hunts. I love vintage jewelry too and the idea that they are limited treasures.

Visiting from Monday Mingle.
You portray such classic beauty. Love it. You are totally pulling off the ripped jeans by keeping everything very clean cut.
The photo shoot spots are amazing. The train tracks were my favorite.
