Last Hurrah!

After a summer that seemed to arrive in February, we are finally having some decent spring weather with highs in the 60s today.  So it was an excuse for one last spin in some of my knee high boots before they disappear for months.

 

The shirt is a recent find at the Green Jeans consignment sale ($5).  The sweater is Ann Taylor via Goodwill ($3.79).  The skirt is Banana Republic via a consignments store.  The navy skirt was priced $18, but I had a Groupon, so I bought $65 worth of clothing with the Groupon I spent $20 on.  I must admit I own this exact skirt in khaki and dark brown (both thrifted at Goodwill).    I try not to buy things in multiples, but this a-line skirt fits me so well, and in neutral colors, it seems so practical that I can't lose.  The real question is, since I got all three colors of this skirt via second hand options.....why are so many women getting rid of a perfect skirt?

Perfectly Pastel

I used to be very anti-pastels, but in the last few years, they have been creeping into my closet.  Today for Everybody Everywear: Pastels, I had many options to chose from.  This sheath is from Talbots and was thrifted at Goodwill.  What I love about it is the cute bows on the sides of the hem, and that while it is old Talbots (not sure year, but has the red Talbots tag) it goes perfectly with my Talbots cardigan that I picked up at the outlet last year.

Dress: Talbots, thrifted for $4.99
Shoes: Payless, ~$15 in 2009
Cardigan: Talbots, $15
necklace: consignment sale, $2

Go Team!

It is a Friday, AND I have hockey tickets for tonight.....so I am showing my team spirit today.  Boring?  perhaps.  Easy and comfortable? YES!

ruffle me up

I am feeling particularly girly today.  This WHBM teired skirt is almost like ruffles, and the Talbot's tee I paired it with has ruffles too.  My outfit may be mostly black, but it is 100% girly.

This necklace was a christmas gift from my brother's mother-in-law.  It is nothing I would normally buy, but I love it and think it is a great way to add a pop of color.

I've got nothing

Nothing profound to say about this outfit or the world.  Just a Wednesday and I am trucking along.

leopard and lace

Some prints and textures are classic in my mind.  Both lace texture and leopard print are classic when worn alone, but I think the combo makes them fresh.  At least that's my story and I am sticking to it.

saturday night out

I went out last night for Indian food with a friend.  Since this friend has given me the advice that I don't show off my assets well enough, I decided to wear my new dress that is more low cut than what I typically wear. 

Funny because when I look at the picture it doesn't look nearly as low cut as it felt.
