over the past couple of months, my life has changed quite a bit. i’m very happy and excited for all of the changes, but one thing that i’ve been sorely missing are my weekly trips to the thrift shops. this weekend, i went to the bike expo in san francisco, and i just so happened to see a thrift store on our way home and swiftly changed course to stop in. i was with friends, so i couldn’t stay as long as i wanted, rummaging through every single rack and shelf in the shop, but while i was there, i did manage a pretty good mini score of stuff: a beautiful brown benetton sweater, a silly vintage sweater shell with a little fur decoration, a pair of bass tassel loafers, and this beautiful silk skirt!
i wanted to wear the skirt right away, and it was the perfect opportunity to style up an outfit with this incredible sage green family affairs silk moonlight shirt that i received from the designer, nina, during a visit to her studio in new york over the summer. i love the juxtaposition between the pale pastel and the more autumnal shades of brown and green. and when i went up on the roof, the light blouse picked up the last of the setting sunlight as we transitioned from light to dark.
skirt: thrifted vintage silk skirt
tights: tabio patterned tights

This outfit is perfect. It's just the sort of thing that I want to be wearing everyday of fall!
beautiful outfit! i have similar pieces and am totally going to steal this look! Love it!
sweet! I really like the skirt and those tights together. You pretty!
so cute, I love the mixture of textures and shades!
I love this so much. You definitely scored at that thrift shop. I can't wait to see the furry shell!
Great find, love the way you styled it :)
Beautiful pictures, and shirt, and skirt… and tights!
Some nice finds! Change can definitely be a good thing, although it always seem to involve sacrifice. Such as weekday thrift store hunting. :(
This is such a wonderful outfit, i love those colours. You look really pretty :)
So pretty, Erin. I really love sheer blouses like these. xo
I'm in love with that skirt! So beautiful!

This outfit is so gorgeous. I love the color palette. That skirt is such a great find!
Oh, so pretty and feminine! Love the tights and skirt together!!
I love it! Especially the tights. It's very different from the skinny jeans thing you have been doing so often for the past couple months as well. Not that there is anything wrong with jeans, lord knows I wear them every day, it's just nice to see something completely different.
The prints on both the skirt and tights work so well together. Love it!
I truely believe this is the greatest outfit i've seen all year. I love the tights in paticular. x
really nice skirt!
totally stunning skirt!!!
Oh Erin, this outfit is just beautiful! That skirt is so pretty. What a great find for a quick thrift store trip.

This is gorgeous. I love the skirt, and the colors work so well together. I haven't been able to do as much thrifting as I would like lately, either… I miss it!
beautiful – i love how the print on the skirt echos the print on the tights.
That skirt is lovely =) The colour and the length are perfect, and it looks gorgeous with that plain white shirt. I want it!!

Love it!
such a pretty outfit erin! you look great!
Erin,
What a pretty outfit. Silk really is the best fabric ever. I've been addicted to the same color scheme lately–earthy tones with anything pale pink or beige. Reminds me of a ballerina dancing in a forest!
Excellent work!

Ah- such a beautiful girl you are Erin.
This outfit is no less than brilliant.

The soft light in these photos adds such a nice ethereal touch to 2 obviously ethereal pieces – your skirt and blouse. So pretty!
lovely lovely outfit! i totally hate that working my 9-5 means i can only thrift on saturdays- and it's always the busiest day. i sometimes daydream about calling in sick and spending the day rummaging…
such a great blouse! the color really makes it. the camel is really cute too. but i think i could have gone with the sage also, something different.
i love the colors you've put together in this outfit! so gorgeous. and the lighting in the photos is so lovely :)
Absolutely love mixing of prints you have going on! The skirt and tights looks great together :)
