Secretary


More thrifted items today - I love thrifting so much! It has opened so many styles to me that I would not have tried at more expensive prices. It's so much fun sorting through racks of clothing to find that one perfect piece (especially when the price tag says 3$!).

Here are some thrifted finds:

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!

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.

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:

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!).

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

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.

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.

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:

And After:
