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. 

Dressed by the Mister

So, I asked my husband to pick out my wardrobe for today, and I think he did an absolutely fantastic job!

Outfit Details: 
Sweater, Old Navy. Tank, Skirt, Shoes and Necklace, thrifted. Tights, gift. 

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.

Tiesto!

Jamsion and I went out to see Tiesto last night at the Upland - he's a Dutch DJ. It was great fun. So good to get out and dance! This is what I wore :)

Outfit Details:
Blazer and shirt, thrifted. Pants, Hot Topic. Booties, Payless. Nails, CVS. Earrings, Claires.

Some of you may remember this skirt/sweater combo from last winter. I love it so - especially paired with these great (and completely weather inappropriate) heels and matching purse!

Under the Cherry Moon

I want to live life to the ultimate high
Maybe I'll die young like heroes die
Maybe I'll kiss u some wild special way
If nobody kills me or thrills me soon,
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon



Prince, "Under the Cherry Moon"

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.

Stormy Weather

Purple tights today with my Payless booties, and my green dress. It's a casual look, but just quirky enough that I like it.

Outfit Details: 
Dress, thrifted. Tights, Target. Booties, Payless. Necklace, gifted. Ring, independent jeweler, Glasses, Foko 

Lady In Red

My husband and I got a new Canon camera, which we took to the park and took some photos with on an absolutely perfect autumn day.

It started getting windy and I almost had a "Marilyn" moment :)

Autumn Riding
