First Post!

I'm starting this blog basically to document my daily outfits and to talk about fashion and thrifting. I get so excited over new clothes I buy or outfits I put together, but there's never really anyone to be excited to about it! So this blog will let me share that excitement with those that I hope are interested. Plus, I want "in" on this special online blogging thrifters circle there seems to be going on ;) Haha...

Now, with this first post, I would like to thank three of those bloggers specifically, because reading their own blogs inspired me to start my own! Not to mention introducing me to the wonderful world of thrifting and vintage clothing.

Those ladies would be, Heather from Moonshine Junkyard, Milla from The Girl Who Married a Bear, and Andrea from A Cat of Impossible Colour. They are all wonderful, friendly, creative, warm amazing women and I wish them a world of thanks! You should definitely check out their blogs. I know I've read every single one of their posts and they are all worth reading.

For those of you wondering why I chose the title Spider Silk Stockings... it's pretty straightforward. I absolutely adore spiders, they're a passion of mine (to the point of having a spider tattoo, and pet tarantulas!) and so I like including them in everything I do. As for the silk stockings... well this is a fashion blog after all! There have actually been spider silk stockings and gloves woven a few times since the 1700's, usually for royal nobility, but it can take years just collecting the silk.

Now for my first outfit posts! Here goes nothing!


Dress - Vintage, bought from Sally Jane Vintage on Etsy.
Shoes - Leather, made in Brazil, Thrifted from the local Salvation Army for $6


These just make me feel like such a lady. :)

Thanks for reading, and lets hope I can keep posting regularly!
