The Last Time I Saw Paris

I just purchased this beautiful coat after watching "The Last Time I Saw Paris" with Elizabeth Taylor. There's this great scene where she has a trench coat and runs through the rain... it's beautiful. 

Outfit Details: 
All clothing thrifted, necklace (actually a belt), Nordstrom. Shoes, Macy's. 

Daylight Savings

I had no idea today was Daylight Savings, so imagine my surprise when I discovered I've acquired a whole extra hour while I slept! Today's outfit is completely thrifted, from shoes all the way to my jacket. (my underthings are NOT thrifted, but that's not something that I'm in the market for thrifting :) ).

At the park today on an absolutely gorgeous Fall day. I wish they were all like this!

Outfit Details: 
Sweater vest and blouse (both Old Navy), thrifted. Skirt (Magazine), thrifted. Jacket (Gadzooks), thrifted. Shoes (Victoria Spenser), thrifted. Earrings and necklace, thrifted. Skirt modification: new zipper installed :) 

Full Service Station

Mr. Not in Pajamas and I stopped to get gas and I thought it was a great opportunity to showcase my outfit today. I sure do love this necklace - I've been wearing it a ton lately. I picked it up at the thrift store and it has no makers mark that I can find. Anyone have an idea who the artist might be? let me know in comments :)

The modification I made is to the skirt. It is thrifted and it needed the underlayer hemmed up - I think the top layer shrunk while the under layer didn't - leaving a big of extra hanging down. It was a quick fix, and now it looks great!

Outfit Details: 
Skirt, vest, shirt, tights, and necklace, all thrifted. Boots, Whiplash (San Diego). 

Bookworm

Loving my home library, and these "new" Eddie Bauer" slacks and cashmere sweater from The Limited.
I had to add length to the hem of these pants, but I think it turned out well.

Outfit Details:
Pants (Eddie Bauer), thrifted. Sweater (The Limited), thrifted. Necklace, thrifted. Shoes, Payless. Glasses, Foko.

Preview of Fall

The weather is already turning cooler here in Midwestopia, and so I have been on the lookout for sweaters and other appropriate clothing as I go thrifting these days. I found this lovely blue sweater, but it was missing some buttons. I thought with a little TLC it could be really pretty again, and so I added some nice pearl buttons... here are the results:

Before....

And After:

Outfit details:

Sweater (modified by me), thrifted. Tank (j.jill) thrifted. Skirt, Express. Shoes, Macys.

Crafted Yoga Pants

Thanks to the unanimous votes I received from my question a couple of weeks back about what to do with my yoga pants, here is the finished creation, crafted by me. 

Blue and White

Outfit Details: Cropped Blazer, Reference (Buttons added by me). Shirt, H&M. Slacks, Express. Shoes, Steve Madden. Belt, Reference, Purse, Coach (Gifted). Earrings, Target. 

Here's what I wore while I was out running errands today. Originally I had a lavender collared long sleeve shirt on under the blazer but it was really warm so I changed into this. I'm so glad I did, as I really like the blue on blue combination.
