Armas Design recently posted about this wonderful little etsy shop, Good Grace, offering a keenly curated collection of vintage pieces that are beautifully photographed to boot.

I thought to myself, “oh I ought to take a peek…just for the sake of blogging.” Really though, in my mind I should know better. I should know I have no control. I should learn to cognitively restructure. Could you walk into a cute bake shop just to take a peek? Probably not. You’d go in, catch a whiff, and then 15 cookies later be in a sugar coma.

Same goes for me, and likewise with vintage shopping. For example, I’ve been thinking about riding boots for a while but decided to hold off since we just moved and need to pay rent and buy home decor goodies. Nonetheless, I passed an adorable thrift shop in my hood and came out with a pair of chocolate brown riding boots that are just darling. Oops. Anyway, the plaid secretary shirt in the center is mine. It was only $16…oh, the guilt.
