Almost a year ago I bought a blue leather trench at a flea market for $15. It was very cheap, but I was broke, so I chose the trench over food that day. I loved the jacket but ended up not wearing it because of its rather difficult color. Today was the first time I wore it for real. When I put my hands inside the pockets I discovered that one of them had a hole in the bottom. I put my hand down the lining and pulled up some hair accessories. I put my hand down again and found some paper. When I pulled it up I was standing there with $15 in my hands. If I only had done the same thing that day I would have been able to eat as well as shop! It´s kind of funny to think about that I got the jacket for free without even knowing about it!

Even though the ring thing didn´t work out I wanted to wear an overload of something, and I ended up on necklaces instead. I came up with a forest theme, which is partially ironic. The idea is the green dress, the animal jewelry and the leaf accessories. OK, pretty lame, but it´s not quite as messy as it looks like on the pictures.

I saw a dress much like this one at H&M today and I almost bought it. Then I remembered that I already had one. The H&M dress had kind of a more vintage look and was very pretty.

Things are rarely quite how I remember them. Fashion Files lead me to Mary-Kate and Ashley´s blog which lead me to the picture above. The rings she´s wearing made me think about how I used to wear tons of rings on all my fingers like ten years ago. I had a ring collection I was very proud of and that I loved a lot. The picture inspired me to find them again and maybe put together a similar look. I found my box of rings and things but was very disappointed. First of all there weren´t as many rings as I remembered. Secondly they were hardly as nice as I thought. Some of them are ugly plastic rings or rings in some sort of metal that has lost it´s color. Some of these rings are of great value to me though. The cameo ring I´ve inherited from my grandma. It´s too big to even fit my thumb, she was a hard worker, but it means a lot to me. The gold ring with a ruby was given to me by my mom. It was her engagement ring to my dad. The silver flower power ring is also from my mom and it´s a ring that she got from her parents when she was a teenager. The silver ring with the big black stone is a gift from my dad and is a ring that he used to wear when he was younger. The gold butterfly ring is one I used to wear when I was little. All in all most of these rings has a meaningful story to them, but for the Olsen look I need to get some new ones.
