Glitter and Braids

The weather is still bla, but I'm trying to make the best of it. After a relaxing weekend mostly spent at home, I'm getting back into the swing of things, and having some fun playing with my hair. 

Outfit Details: 
Sweater, gift. Top and Jeans, Thrifted. Boots, Ebay. 

Autumn Delight

Feeling the first days of fall as the temperatures make their slow decline... which is great for us fasionisitas who love boots, tights, and layers!

Here's what I'm wearing to watch the first sunday football of the season, and then head to a family picnic with Mr. Not In Pajamas.

My 3$ boots! LOVE them!! 

Outfit Details: 
Shirt, Skirt and Boots, all thrifted!! Socks, target.

Daisies and Dahlias

I found this pretty dress while thrifting with a friend on Labor Day. She originally found it, but put it back, and I wasted no time in nabbing it. I think it probably would have suited my friend better, as she is a blonde, but it's pretty and comfortable.

Dress and Cardigan, Thrifted. Shoes, PlasticLand.

Casual... Thursday?

Some offices practice casual Friday, but here at Casa Pajamas it's Casual Thursday. (Frankly I think a solid week of drab, grey, rainy weather is finally taking it's toll on me). I thrifted this shirt on my last trip - I really like it, especially the embroidery, but I think it may actually be a maternity top??!! (which I absolutely do NOT need, just so we're clear :) )

So, it kind of looks like I'm throwing an elaborate gang sign, but actually I'm showing the suspicious gather that makes me think this is a maternity shirt:

Outfit Details:

Shirt, Thrifted. Capris, Boston Proper. Sweater, Gifted. Shoes, Sketchers.

Blue Morning, Blue Day

Raining like hell outside!!! I'm all rain splattered. I don't wear jeans all that often, but inclement weather necessitated comfort today (and gave me a great excuse to wear one of my favorite hats, and my brand new (new to me anyhow,) 3$ thrifted boots!).

Outfit Details:

Shirt and Boots, thrifted. Jeans (Seven), Marshalls. Beret, ModCloth.

Bootie Envy

I have always admired Betty's fabulous booties from Le Blog de Betty, and was therefore ecstatic when I found some knock-offs at Payless!

6 Courses

Mr. Not In Pajamas and I went out for a date night tonight at one of our favorite local restaurants. We ate waaaay too much food, but it was so good. I found this gorgeous dress at the thrift store, and was so excited to wear it tonight. Too bad it's been rainy all day, and so my hair is a frizzy mess.

Outfit Details:

Dress, Thrifted. Tights, Target. Shoes, Payless. Necklace, Gift

New Booties

I have been loving all the little ankle booties coming out for fall... so much so that I nabbed four pairs of them yesterday! Here is one of them... love the little buckles!

Shirt, H&M. Skirt, Target. Tights, Gift. Scarf, Thrifted. Booties, Payless.

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.

The Last Days of Summer

I'm soaking up the last of the summer sun, yet still enjoying the first chance in months to pull out some stockings. I'm going out for lunch and shopping with a dear friend today, then off to yoga class this evening.

Outfit Details: Dress, thrifted. Tights, Target. Shoes, Payless. Necklace, San Diego street vendor.

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:

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. 

Inspiration Showcase: Kasmira and What I Wore Today

(photos taken by Kasmira at What I Wore Today, and are used here with permission)

I'd like to start a new segment showcasing other fashion blogs that inspire me. For my first inspiration showcase I'd like to turn the spotlight on the beautiful Kasmira and her wonderful blog What I Wore Today. Kasmira's site was the first fashion blog I ever saw, and one look at Kasmira's fun, colorful style and I was hooked. Kasmira posts daily photos of her outfits for work and also includes photos of some weekend wear. She is both sophisticated and youthful, badass rockstar and feminine muse all at once (and often all in the same outfit!). She likes to mix and match, and offers many how to's and recession friendly suggestions, including how to overdye denim (not to mention  glimpses of her fabulously decorated home and well-tended garden).  What I Wore Today is truly a gold mine for lovers of fashion and definitely worth an addition to your frequently visited blogs.
