Pearls and plaids must be had

Plaid shirt  |  J. Crew pearl necklace  |  Vintage Coach handbag 


So you could say I fancy plaids. There may never be a shortage of pearls or plaids in my closet or somethings gone wrong because these two elements are timeless classics in my eyes. 

I’d like to say I wallpapered my family room with a plaid I created and copied from my J. Crew flannel unfortunately it’s just me having some fun in photoshop. You never know though: interior inspiration?

Excuse me while I talk vintage for a second…
The seek can be daunting but the treasures rewarding, especially when stumbled upon. This blazer came from a gigantic loft-sized vintage clothing store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn called 10 ft. Single by Stella Dallas for $29. I’m realizing slowly the more I search for great vintage pieces, the less I buy and the longer I end up keeping pieces in my wardrobe. 

2013 goal :: buy smart.

January’s eBay share: Vintage Celine handbag

January’s Loving everything about this handbag I bought last month. It arrived in pristine condition at just a fraction of the dollar amount it would have cost me brand new. Not only was the listing price already reasonable, I was able to get the seller to come down about 15% just by asking. It never hurts and most people enjoy the interest you have in their items as long as you’re reasonable with your requests. eBay, thanks for the addiction.

Shine bright like a… sequin

Sometimes a little shine on a summer time classic (ex. baseball jacket) paired with a photo sesh in front of florescent purple dumpsters can make anyones day feel complete. Naturally, right? Having said that I’m spent. 
 
Dressing in the morning is rapidly growing more ridiculous everyday as the temperatures decline. I can’t begin to describe how un-motivating it is to wear anything that doesn’t support wearing while hiding the most unattractive thick white sport socks every single day. By the time I’ve managed to get my bangs to lie down in the right direction, my face somewhat applied, 2 cups of coffee down the hatch and some corner of the house re-organized I’m finally left with one task and one task only… taking my super thick, extra soft, oversized robe off to slip into anything but that. And by the time I’ve made it to that point it’s time to go, 15 minutes ago. That’s why I’m considering this $52 bomber my favorite fall piece because ultimately, it makes me feel like I “shine bright like a sequin” in nothing more then just that!

NYE 2013 | Peace of Mind

Its been some time since I’ve last posted here. I so desperately needed time to reflect on life’s pushes and pulls, identifying what is most important to me by submerging myself in the painful reality that life is just… scary. I have felt out of order, uncomfortable and at times lost and have a hard time talking through it.  Already 10 days into 2013 and I’m still working out what I want to focus on; I want 2013 to feel different. I’m not talking resolutions (It’s so grossly cliché) but commitments to self to be free from unnecessary pressure, to enjoy the basics of life and bury myself in contentment. Too busy attending to the next thing, forgetting what is important now. In saying that, I tribute 2013 the year of getting comfortable in the uncomfortable. 
 
Jeff and I rang in the New Year at a friends home with a small group of my favorite crazy’s and a lot of red lipstick.

The price is Wright | December’s eBay share

December’s eBay share: Fur on acid wash on acid wash on fur. Whichever way you’d like to look at it. 

Holy cat snot and dog drool, right? 
I’d love to share information on where to buy this looker but it’s a #oneofakind never worn eBay find. Snatched up for a measly 45 dollar bills and a one way ticket to my house. I tried to tell you eBay’s amazing; now you know, or I’ve completely turned you off. Either way it’s definitely a pppparty on my back. This cat will be joining me on all my future winter adventures.

Coastal Christmas

Poppy plaid shirt  |  Vintage coat  |  H&M fur vest (Similar)  |  F21 wedges


Don’t you love a clean closet and cash in your hand?  A trip to Buffalo Exchange was a total win… one vintage jacket and a check for $158. 
At what age is it inappropriate to shop at Forever 21? I can’t help it, $19 cute simple wedge boots. They come in 4 different colors. 

Ecola Inn is located directly in front of Haystack Rock and smack dab in the middle of Cannon beach, closest hotel to the ocean. A perfect beach funky place for the Maloney’s to drink ourselves silly together since the 1960’s.
Jeff and I rolled in early this morning with presents in hand. We’ve been parked in front of the windows watching the ocean wrap itself around the building and crash against Haystack. 3 champagnes in, endless to go. Portland… see you Friday.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Wright for Michele is a Portland based lifestyle blog devoted to cultivating stylish, relatable and creative content. It also serves as a personal time capsule of my family’s journeys, giggling and stumbling a bit, through it all.

I started "Wright for Michele" back in 2010 as a creative outlet and to share the things I love (basically the exact same reason the rest of the internet started blogging). Often this blog is about family, sometimes it’s about style, and in general it’s about life and how you (and me) can make every single area in it, better. It’s simple, it’s real (sometimes a little raw and almost always full of grammatical errors), it’s honest and hopefully no matter what it’s a little sweet.
