It's a grey day....

It's been a long taxing work week for me. But the good news is I have been able to wear tons of new items I have recently obtained. I found this awesome crochet overlay dress at the Presidents Day sale at the old Value Village. I actually really scored big at that sale even though I didn't make it till about 6pm. Which in thrifting time might as well be midnight!

The dress ended up costing me $3!!!!! Oh and this white and silver beaded necklace I found a couple weeks before was only $3 as well!!!! Sorry but I just get so excited when I find great stuff for cheap :)

Striped Situation

This Saturday I got together with a good pal of mine JC. The two of us walked to a cafe had a coffee, went to the grocery, then another grocery and finally back to my place. Sounds kind of boring..... But if you had seen us trying to carry pumpkins back to my place you would have thought differently. We picked pumpkins that were far too heavy to be carrying through the city. So we sent the whole way home laughing hysterically making strange noises and basically looking like fools! My arms still hurt!

 All in all we had a lovely time.... even if we did look like fools. Plus I got to pull out one of my favorite coats of all time. I wear this coat literally all winter long. It seems to go with everything I own, so don't be surprised if you start to see a lot of it!

Crazy Legs.

I bought these sheer  printed wide leg pants a while back and finally worked them into the rotation this week. Now when I say rotation  you may think that there is some sort of weird order to when I wear my clothes. This really could not be more untrue. I am a mood dresser and it is actually really hard for me to find the right days to wear some of my freshly bought items. That being said, these pants finally got to walk in the real world this week.

I know you can barely see it in the pictures but the pants are actually kind of sheer. They have black shorties sewn in, which actually dyed my legs a bit when I wore them. But whatever. I my fancy pants with a black ribbed henley tank, a cropped By Corpus sweater, cowboy boots, and my favorite leather jacket. I had to keep my outfit fairly basic and comfy because I wore them to my day job and things have been pretty hectic lately. I feel like I will enjoy these babies a lot more in the summer when it finally gets warm....

Kimono Killer!

I could literally live in kimonos. I only have a handful right now, by that I mean less than 10 ;) This is the newest addition to my small collection.

I just couldn't say no to the floral print. I am now on the hunt for a fringe piano jacket..... I think I may need some luck to find one of those babies....

Also p.s. the jeans I'm wearing are full on flares.... Sounds gross but are possibly the most flattering jeans I own.

Walk Like and Egyptian

I finally got to take my silky Egyptian top out into the real world! I bought this little beauty weeks ago on a thrifting trip with Miss Terris, but haven't found the right time to wear it. Until today!!!!!

I also had to break out one of my Fall sweaters, as the great Northwest has decided it's ready to change seasons already. My first day back at my day job and all in all it wasn't that bad.

Too Many Coats.

So a while back I bought this Spiewak military jacket. I already have millions of jackets and really didn't need another one. But this jacket was originally $119 but had been marked all the way down to $9.99!!!!! I am not the kind of girl that can ever say no to a deal that good. Even if I don't need the item I can't help but buy if the deal is that good. Even though I didn't need a new military jacket I could definitely use a military vest ;)

I actually like the vest way better than I liked the jacket. Plus after cutting off the sleeves there is this great raw edge around where the sleeves used to be. I added a scarf to this outfit before I left the house to go sell clothes. Sometimes a girl has to sell clothes to eat. Or a could just learn how to budget, but let's get real, that's a ways off.

Cheap Date

I just got this new Cheap Monday dress and really couldn't love it more. It is a light knit fabric which is perfect for the warm weather we have finally had in Seattle. It's been in the high 70's all week! Finally!

But me being who I am, I couldn't help but layer up a bit.... A girl at work showed me how to tie a scarf so you can wear it like a cape situation. Pretty tricky, huh? I also had to pull on a mens Insight denim shirt just in case I got the chills ;)

Back to my old home.

I have moved back into my old apartment building and finally about a month and a half I am semi settled. I have one room left to set up and I will finally be done. I am entertaining the idea of making it a large closet situation...... Sometime you just need a room just for clothes.

I got this black knit dress a couple years ago but had to pull it out because it must be one of the most comfortable things ever. It literally feels like you are wearing pj's. To add to the sleepy feeling of my day I added this sheer floral robe. I have to say I was feeling quite cozy.

Getting High

There is not a lot in life that I love more than a pair of high waisted jeans. I mean come on, "Mom's going to love those 10" of zipper!" as someone once told me. I snagged this amazing pair of high rise Wrangler jeans at the old thrift store years ago and just couldn't help but hack them off into shorts. They hit my hips so perfect I would wear them everyday, but alas they push on the bladder making me have to pee like every 5 minutes. Somedays it's just worth it....

These shorts just make my day.... I wore them with an old tee my Mom gave me and some black tights as it is still only in the 60's here in the great Northwest :( Hope the rest of you are enjoying the heat!

Feeling Blue

I have been having a bit of a sad week.... Things are starting to look up but they started shaky. On the glass is half full bit I got to wear the other top that I traded for at the old Buffalo Exchange last Saturday. It's this beautiful scarf print button down, and for $8 or a fair trade in my case, who could say no. Well Obviously not me. I wore it tied up with my favorite pair of wide leg high waisted jeans and some heeled rodeo boots.

I may only have a few years left to wear short tops so I figured I would go with it. I also don't usually wear a navy blue anything but hey it just felt right.... Anyway lovelies hope the rest of you are having a good week ;)

Monday Funday?

Mondays are always my least favorite day of the week. It's hard for a Monday to turn out well, unless its a long weekend. However this Monday was not so bad. Work was normal but after work is when things got fun..... I got to meet up with my pal D. She is just the cutest thing you have ever seen.... Unfortunately I do not have a photo of her. But I can share what I wore.... Not as exciting I realize.

But what are you going to do.... I think the tequila we had might have tipped the scales to fun ;)

What I wore:
~ Sweater from Urban Outfitters
~ Dress from Target
~ Cowboy boots thrifted

Back from the wreck...

I have been gone a long time and am quite sorry. I have been having a sorted personal life situation and moved into my own place. It also took weeks to get my internet hooked back up. But enough of all the excuses... I have had a very pleasant weekend and thought now that I'm settled it's time to get back online. I had to sell clothes yesterday to get some cash to tide me over till payday, but me being the clothes hoarder that I am had to trade for a few new items to take back home with me. I got this striped denim vest for a steal and just had to wear it right away.

                            This is our beautiful pal Alex, she has the cutest hair on earth.

Good thing my pal Squill was having a BBQ so I had somewhere to wear it to. Squill and B-Rock (her man) have a beautiful roof top deck that is the perfect place on a Summer evening. It was quite nice to see pals and have some cocktails. Things are looking up ;)

I wore:
- Striped denim vest from Buffalo Exchange
- Vintage lace cami from my Mother
- Long black skirt from Urban Outfitters
- The usual pile of jewels and gems

Moving......

Sorry for all the delays my darlings, but I am moving to a new home and it is ruining my life. I hate moving more than anything! My whole body hurts and all of my lovely clothes are in boxes :( Thus a girl is forced to wear nothing but 70's flared jeans and tanks. But no worries, I haven't forgotten to pile on my usual jewels....

I'm am pretty excited about my new bone necklace, I will show it off better soon ;)
