Sinister

This haircut gives me a subtle sinister air, if I wear the right clothes and makeup. I feel like an evil queen, or Morgana, or some powerful dark enchantress. I'm a wicked city woman to the hilt today.

Jamison better be on his game tonight when I pick him up at the airport - this kitty's got claws!

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 :) 

Wearing All the White I Can

I guess that old adage about not wearing white after Labor Day isn't considered a rule anymore, but I still find myself feeling like I want to wear all the white I can before the big cut off. I guess I worry that some people might not know that the no-white rule no longer applies and so I still feel weird about wearing white after September (which is bad, because it's one of my favorite colors). Then I realize that I worry too much about what other people think... but now I'm getting off topic. Anyhow, here is my white ensemble, which I will be wearing to the fabric store, the grocery store, and to some other various errands.

Outfit Details:

Gold Shirt, Reference. Tank (j.jill), Thrifted. Skirt, Thrifted. Shoes, Payless. Necklace, Boston Proper.

What I Wore: Yesterday

Here's what I wore yesterday while getting my hair cut from the wonderful and talented Oz at Roca Salon, and while having lunch with a new friend. This shirt has quickly become a favorite. I think this is the 3rd time I've worn it since acquiring it three weeks ago. 

Outfit Details: 

Shirt and Skirt, Thrifted. Shoes, Payless. Purse (Coach), gift. 

I Made This :)

I am so proud to say that I made this skirt. I am so pleased with it - it turned out just how I envisioned. 

Outfit Details: 

Vest, Shirt, and Belt, Thrifted. Skirt, Made By Me (woo!), Shoes, Payless. 

Thrift Store Hero... With Stars in Her Eyes

Sorry again for my absence this week - I've been working hard to clean up after the drywall installation, and am happy to say that I am finally feeling a bit more moved in (thanks to stashing a bunch of boxes into our new storage area). 

I did some thrifting this week with fantastic results: 8 skirts, 8 shirts, and 1 dress all for only 34 dollars! Here are two of my recent finds: 

Outfit Details: 

Shirt and Skirt, thrifted. Shoes, Payless. Bracelet, a gift. 

Hot Leather Interior

Shorts are great for summer. They are not as great for getting into cars that have been sitting in the sun all day. You will burn your legs. And then sweat. Profusely. Ick. (bad hair day alert - this humidity is wreaking havoc on me). 

Outfit details: Sweater, thrifted. Tank top: JCPenney. Shorts, Old Navy. Belt, Target. Shoes, Payless. 

Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head

It is pouring today. It's dark and stormy and there's thunder and lightening - I love it! The rain sounds so beautiful on the roof. 

These are probably my very favorite shoes that I own. Unfortunately I almost never wear them. 

Outfit details: 

Sweater, and white lacy tank, Old Navy. Green beaded tank, Thrifted. Belt, Arden B. Jeans, Seven. Shoes, Carlos Santana. 

Purple and Gold

I picked up this skirt at an Earth Day festival in San Diego. It's so bright and fun! 

Outfit Details: 

Sweater, Thrifted. Tank, Belt and Shoes, JCPenney. Skirt, Earth Day Festival Vendor. 

Brown and Gold

Feeling much better today. This brown skirt is one of my recent thrift store finds. It fits like a dream. The tights are literally a decade old (maybe older). They used to be my mom's until she gave them to me five years ago or so. They have a great stripe detail in them and I thought they worked well with the weave of the skirt and the striped texture of the sweater. Come spring I think I may shorten the sleeves on this sweater, as I always push them up when I wear them. 

Outfit Details: Sweater, Ross. Skirt, Thrifted. Belt, Arden B. Tights, Gifted. Shoes, Payless. Earrings, Target. Bracelet, Claire's Boutique (I think). 

Red, White and POW

So what if it's 17 degrees outside? 

This is my lounging around the house outfit today - heels and all!  I'd say it's a vast improvement over old sweats and whatever t-shirt I slept in. I'm wearing my beloved Frida Kahlo bracelet. I tried to get a close-up photo of it, but I couldn't get the camera to focus on my wrist. I was more successful in getting a nice pic of my earrings. 

Outfit Details: White short-sleeved turtleneck: Kenneth Cole (purchased at Marshall's).  Red Dress (worn as a tunic) Victoria's Secret. Black Skirt, Target. Frida Kahlo bracelet: San Diego Museum of Photography gift shop. Belt, Arden B. Shoes, Newport News. Earrings: Claire's Boutique. 

A New Year's Resolution

Hi there! I'm Sarah and this is my new blog. I've found myself very inspired by the fashion blogs I've recently discovered, so inspired, in fact, that I've decided to give fashion blogging a whirl. 

Here is my outfit from yesterday (sorry for the two photos for the full outfit - still figuring out the whole tripod-photo-taking thing.): 

Also, sorry for the bitch-face... I think I was trying to look sultry, but it, um, didn't work.

Outfit details: Undershirt, H&M. Lace shirt, Reference. Belt, Arden B. Jeans, Seven. Shoes, Payless. Earrings, Express. Bracelet, Gifted.
