This Outfit is 70% Thrifted, 100% Comfortable

I had the day off work today (appointment in the big city), so opted for a very comfy outfit. It's a 1.5 hour drive each way.

I really should have taken pictures of the sky this morning, because it was so beautiful. The skies were clearing after a spring rainstorm and the blue was positively brilliant. Isn't it amazing how the weather can affect our moods? I felt happier and more optimistic all day... though that could be the time off talking.

Are you taking the Bloggers Do It Better challenge tomorrow? I am going to give it a shot, though I know I am going to face certain ridicule for wearing a tie at school. We'll see how it goes. I'm excited about my outfit, though. You'll get to see the amazing score I found today at the thrift store. Yay!

Jacket: Downeast Basics, Shirt: Heritage 1981 (thrifted), Cami: Downeast Basics, Pants: Faded Glory (thrifted), Scarf: Ross, Shoes: Keen, Bracelet: n/l (thrifted), Bag: Hunt Club (thrifted)

Thanks for all the comments yesterday about my "bling belt". I can't wait to wear it again and appreciate that you all understood how much it meant to me. I'm sappy, I know.

Color Inspiration

You're wearing shorts? That must be nice. I wore four layers of clothing today. 

Despite dressing for the Arctic winds that blew through our neck of the woods, I was pleased to put together an ourfit around a color combination that I got from, wait for it...a bottle of wine. I'm not a 'wine' person per se (I prefer a Becks or a pink drink rimmed with sugar), but I love picking out new wines in the shop. I'm a label shopper. Whichever one catches my eye and is even remotely the right color (I don't care for reds), I will choose it.

Plus, this one said "cupcake" on it, and what could be better than that?

That last picture illustrates the correct way to stylishly chatter your teeth as you freeze because you forgot to wear gloves.
