My Favorite Vintage Shops on Instagram

Here are a few of my favorite vintage shops on Instagram right now. I've linked to all of them and also given a little description about each one below.

1) @charmschoolvintage

Charm School Vintage - This Austin-based shop is one of my favorites in town. I'm sure you've noticed because almost every outfit post of mine has one of their items featured. Mainly my trusty vintage Coach backpack! Plus, they sell on their IG account and honestly that's how I've scored a lot of my pieces.

2) @meekvintage

Meek Vintage - Run by two sisters in Denver Colorado, this shop is so whimsical and highly curated. They even have an IG account that they sell exclusive pieces on a couple times a week @shopmeekvintage. They carry lots of petite sizes too which I appreciate, of course!

3) @mothoddities

Moth Oddities - You've heard me talk about these guys before! Check out this blog post to find out more about this Minneapolis-based shop run by my friends Yana and Ian. They carry vintage from Italy, too + they're on a cross country road trip right now. So cool.

4) @wonsaponatimevintage

Wonsaponatime Vintage - What really drew me to this Florida-based shop was the photography and styling of the photos on their IG account. I'm always so delighted to come across one while scrolling through my feed. Every shot is perfectly executed and just look at their space! Gorgeous.

I hope you enjoyed this post because I'll be sharing even more soon. There are so many beautiful vintage shops out there to explore and add to your feed! Let me know your thoughts on these accounts if you do go check them out (and you should!). Happy weekend, y'all!

Today I was going to do a DIY post but I've decided to postpone it until next week. Why? Well, once I saw Nicole's 2015 favorite outfits post I couldn't help myself. Not only because hers is adorable but also because in 2015 1) I really committed to posting more outfits and 2) I've really come into my own personal style. Two things I can't say I'd accomplished all that successfully in years past. This is the first time in my four year blogging history that I'm able to do a post like this and it's all thanks to my commitment to consistency.

Throughout the years my style has evolved and molded into what its become now and although I've always enjoyed the things I've chosen to wear, this year has been a bit different. This year I truly embraced my style and I feel like I've gotten to a place were I'm super happy with it. I know what I love, what looks good, what works. I've always had a unique fashion sense but ever since moving to Austin I've embraced my personal style much more. This city has definitely helped shape not only my outfit choices but also the person I've become. Like committing to taking outfit photos at 9:30 AM on a Sunday... I didn't have that discipline a couple years ago.

I'm so proud of the things I've accomplished this year and I'll be sure to write a post about all of that very soon. For now, that's a wrap on 2015! I hope y'all have a fun and safe NYE. Next time we meet (in blog form) it'll be 2016. I'll see ya then.
