reachin' out...

2013...



Alright my lovely bloggin' friends, I'm in the midst of hatching a little comeback for Brass in Pocket. I've got the blog up and going again (though, as you can see, not on the right server). I'm working on a plan for doing pictures, getting you guys some fresh content, and maybe even securing a new photographer.

But, first, I need a little help. I've always been able to count on my friends and readers for blogging help and advice, and now I need a little of both.

So here's what I'm wondering:

1.) Has anybody else had problems with a Google server and forwarding your blog? This is a technical thing, but it's a huge hurdle for me right now. I haven't had these kinds of problems with it in the past.

2.) What would you like to see here? More Thursdays are for Thrifters? I definitely want to include them. What about fashion features? Guest fashion stars? My outfits? What about outfit inspiration? I have some ideas in the works for all of these things, so let me know what you'd want to read/see.

3.) How do you balance your full time job/life/blog, etc? When I was blogging before, it was my full time job. Now, I have a day job, and I'm working on a couple different projects as well. So, how do you balance it all? How important do you think it is to have fresh content everyday?

I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say!

Thursdays are for Thrifters Link Party 43

It's Thursdays are for Thrifters! I couldn't miss it two weeks in a row so I made sure to get up early enough to throw together a quick post this morning. I haven't done any thrifting lately, so for this outfit I just threw together a few of my thrifted stapes---vintage Aigner bucket purse, vintage feathered Saks Fifth Avenue hat, vintage printed skirt and Steve Madden Gretta seconds I found for just $25. I'm pretty sure I could wear this outfit everyday.

Have you guys found anything exciting lately?
Vintage Skirt: Thrifted, $3., Shirt: F21, $3., Shoes: Steve Madden, $25., Vintage Bag: Thrifted, $4., Vintage Hat: Thrifted, $20.

weird and wonderful

I've been wanting to tie up the side of a dress for a while now. I got this idea from Pinterest (of course) when I saw someone who had tied the bottom of a long dress to keep it from dragging the ground. I decided to tie up a short one and I kinda like it. I know it's a little hard to see the print on the dress (I've been playing with my photos lots over the last couple days) but it's a weird graphic computer-y tribal print. Weird and wonderful.

Earrings: F21, set of two for $1.50.

everybody, everywear: nautical

Even though I haven't had a lot of time for updating and returning blog comments over the past week or so, I had to make time for Everybody, Everywear. This month's theme was nautical and I love nautical inspired outfits. I got to wear my new Olsonboye jeans with the drawstrings that I found on the clearance rack for $6 for the first time and I pulled out my hand-me-down drawsting tote bag that my mom used to carry to the pool in the '70s. I would wear this pretty much everyday. If only I lived near a beach or something.
Jeans: Olsonboye, $6., Shirt: MNG, apx. $10.
Vintage Sunglasses: Secondhand, Gift.
Vintage Necklace: Secondhand, Gift.
Bracelet: Xhileration, $5.
