Changes this evening

Here is how I modified the look for evening to make it a little warmer, and to have a bag for my gloves and hat. I'm going to a reading tonight for several authors, at The Writer's Place, in KC.

Outfit Details

Stockings, Target

Bag, Buckle

It was 70 yesterday, I swear

But it's back to dreary, rainy and cold again today. These temperature swings are hard to handle, especially when trying to figure out what to wear!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I wore green in honor of St. Patty's day. And I wrote a little poem about the current weather in my part of midwestopia:

Gloom, gloom, go away,
Don't come back another day.
Rain, Rain, ruining my hair,
I want to wear spring clothes out there!
Grey, Grey, makes me sad,
Come on Sunshine! Make me glad.

It's my masterpiece ;)

Empire Waists

Well, I've had the opinion of three (straight) men that say when they see an empire waisted shirt they immediately think the woman wearing it is pregnant. Now, I've talked with women who feel exactly the opposite - that empire waists are a great way to show off the "girls". So, what do you think? Empire Waist - good or bad?

p.s. today is my homage to Princess Leia on Hoth for all my fellow Star Wars geeks. 

p.s.s. do these boots rock or what!??!?! LOVE them!  

Outfit:
Thrifted. Boots, ebay.

Empire Waist: looks great or looks pregnant?
	Looks Great!
	Looks Pregnant!
	Other...I'll tell you in comments.

Ribbons and Jade

My hubby came home with a present last night: beautiful jade and diamond earrings as an early xmas present.

Outfit Details:
Thrifted, gifted and boots by nine west.

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). 

Autumn in the City

Outfit details: 
Jacket, Nordstrom. Sweater, Skirt and Boots, thrifted. Purse, (Coach) Gifted. Glasses, Foko. Hat, World Market. 

Not to be Outdone

So, I was all ready to go this morning when my husband came out looking like the proverbial "million dollars": black jeans, purple button-up long sleeved shirt, gray corduroy sports jacket, and brilliantly white, previously unworn sketchers. Needless to say, I hauled my little butt right back into the closet to find something more suitable to wear, even as he followed me, protesting that what I was wearing was fine. Here's what I ended up wearing. I wish I'd taken a photo of him so you could see how great he looked, but he prefers to remain behind the camera :).

Outfit Details:
Sweater, thrifted. Skirt, gift from Becky. Boots, thrifted. Broach, thrifted. Pearl and gold necklace and Coach purse, gifts from my husband.

Autumn Riding

This reminds me of a riding outfit, and I love the autumn colors of this shirt. 

Outfit Details:
Shirt, Jeans, and Boots, thrifted.

Almost Famous

Remember the movie "Almost Famous" with Kate Hudson? She wore a awesome suede and fur (mine is real suede, but faux fur) jacket, and I just loved it. Here is my version of an "Almost Famous" look. 

Outfit Details: 

Everything I have on, from my boots, to the belt, to the jeans, sweater jacket and gloves are all THRIFTED!!! Woooo!!! 

...till the end of time...

Listening to George Michael today - oh the memories...

I was worried that the rain would spoil the light for my photos, but I actually really like how these turned out, using my living room light.

Outfit Details: 
Cardigan, thrifted. Tank, (j.jill) thrifted. Skirt, thrifted. Tights, Target. Shoes, 9 West ( I think??). Necklace, thrifted. Bracelet, Hot Topic. 

Road Trip!

Hi All!

Sorry I've been gone all week - I went on a wonderful four day road trip with my good friend Becky up to Wisconsin to visit her mom and dad. We had a terrific time! I learned how to play horse balls and wizard! Very fun! Becky's family were some of the nicest people I've had the pleasure to meet, and Wisconsin is just lovely. I'd go back in a second. Anyhow, here are some photos of our shenanigans. I only got one day of photos, because the weather was rainy the rest of the time.

Becky's Outfit Details:
Shirt, Skirt, sweater tights, all thrifted! Jean Jacket and boots, ?

My Outfit Details:
Sweater, tank, jeans and belt, all thrifted. Necklace, Gift from Mr. Not-in-Pajamas. Shoes, Steve Madden

These are Becky's wonderful mom and dad:

And the real stars of our visit, the girls, Lucky and Lady:

Only Happy When It Rains

Actually, that's not true, but that song just came on the radio and it seemed fitting seeing how much it's raining today. (I actually finally broke down and bought an umbrella today!) I was going for a kind of scholarly, librarian look today, but the boots (which went on last) kind of changed the whole feel of the outfit. So now I'm sort of librarian rock? rockbrarian?

Outfit Details: Cardigan, Target. Blouse, thrifted. Skirt, thrifted. Boots, thrifted. Glasses, foko.
