Vintage Cyber Cat: Putting My Money Where My Meow Is πŸ˜ΊπŸ’΅

Shirt and bow: SHEIN

Ahhhh, this pixelated heart gives me all the feelings!! It has that computerized look, and paired with a vintage-looking red velvet bow, it’s a fun mashup of old meets new.

Aaaaaand, cat ears. Like you didn’t already know? πŸ’—

Boots: Dolls Kill / Socks: Ralph Lauren
Purse: Belonged to my grandmother!

I received a coupon from Princeton University Press in the mail recently, and having just finished re-reading Stover At Yale for a second time, it was the perfect opportunity for a new read! I chose a topic that I really know next to nothing about.

We all use money, but I have zero idea of how monetary policy works, what the Federal Reserve actually does, what central banking is, let alone private banking!! I’m always up for a brain challenge, so I’ve just started reading this informative book by Leah Downey. So far, I’m impressed by how easily I’m able to follow along, and the author explains things thoroughly while leaving me wanting to learn more with each passing chapter.

I hope to be a more informed citizen by the end of the book! πŸ“–

Butterflies and Poppin’ Pink and Purple: Finding My New Favorite Book In Hardcover Edition πŸ’—πŸ¦‹πŸ’œ

Purse: Hot Topic

When I ordered this purse on sale from Hot Topic, I had in mind the EXACT skirt I wanted to wear it with!! I’m sure you can guess, too: my butterfly skirt. πŸ¦‹

I’ve wanted a butterfly purse for a long time, but I just never found one that I really wanted. This one was an instant love!

I love how it coordinated with my outfit, both in theme and color:

Skirt and Top: SHEIN
Shoes: Temu / Socks: Ralph Lauren
Ring: Temu

Since my outfit had neutral tones, I wanted my hair clips to extra pop, so the pink and lime green was the perfect touch! πŸ’—πŸ’š

Next, I was sporting the pink and purple look here to stand out among the dark tones of my outfit. I added a chain necklace to my belt for an extra PUNCH!!

Purse: Poshmark / Ring: Walgreen’s
Shoes: Dolls Kill/ Socks: Amazon
Top: SHEIN / Skirt: Thrifted

Lastly, I wanted to show the hardcover edition of Stover at Yale by Owen Johnson I found for a steal of a deal on Thriftbooks online! I know I just recently did a review on it a few posts back, but I had a strong desire to re-read the book since I fell in love with it. πŸ’“

This quickly became one of my favorite books (my other favorite book being Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose). Retrospectively, it’s kind of funny to notice that my two favorite books both have the theme of brotherhood and camaraderie!

I’m so honored to own this edition! I’m excitedly re-reading it and loving every moment of it.

Here’s to finding books (and outfits) that we fall in love with. πŸ¦‹
