about the look: Vintage dress from COCO + MISCHA, similar here and here // Nine West shoes
Where do I begin with this look?! First of all - I'm obsessed with it! More importantly, I'm obsessed with the place I got it from...COCO + MISCHA! People always ask me where I shop. I have most definitely become a professional online shopper. I do a majority of my shopping online, but when I do venture into a store it's to thrift. COCO + MISCHA is a perfect combination of vintage finds and slow fashion! I love to support women-owned and run businesses. The most gorgeous and stylish ladies work there, and they have a great eye. It's conveniently located at Ponce City Market, the same building I work in. On Fridays, there is a $5.00 rack! I mean can it get any better?! I fell in love at first sight when I saw this dress. I did a few minor alterations to make it my own. It was a few sizes too big for me, so I got it taken in and up to make a mini!
COCO + MISCHA is a great place to find thrifted pieces that tell a story, shop unique brands, and buy fabulous jewelry and sunnies! In a sea of some monotonous trends, it's very refreshing to add value to my wardrobe with some unique finds.
p.s. The shop just got a cute little puppy named Lefty! Need I say more?!
