I don’t know what is going on with my photos lately – they’re so grainy.  I’m pretty sure it just depends on the light that particular day because some of my photos seem fine while many seem grainy like this.  Thoughts?
Anyway…  I had to show you guys this far-out top.  It’s Kenar from TJMaxx & [...]

We took one of our dogs to the vet on our first day of vacation.  I know, it’s not technically a vacation if you’re running errands, but we chose to stay at home & get some things done around here instead of stressing & spending money on even a mini-trip.  I have to say, so [...]

Here’s a tip – while thrifting learn to recognize interesting details that you can remake easily.  For instance, I saw this great collar last shopping trip – it’s beaded with gey pearls & rhinestones.  I knew I could cut it off to make a statement collar/necklace.  Easy!

Just check out how cool it looks once liberated [...]

This is a fun outfit I put together, based on my new Liz Claiborne purse.  It was only $5 on clearance & I couldn’t resist the mix of berries & purples plus the grey patent strap.

Once I got it home I noticed how well it blended with this scarf I found at Target:

I had a different [...]

I have these great pale celery colored suede pointy-toes loafers by Franco Sarto.  It’s a mouthful, I know.  Not only are they wordy to describe, they also present quite a challenge when it comes to wearing them since I have no other piece of clothing in that particular color.
Well, I found that the exact same shade is [...]

Here is the dress I found at the thrift.  I’m so glad I got it.  I am so loving the print & the shape, which I feel is pretty flattering on me.  Those shoes were only like $5, ages ago.  They are so classic as well as being completely neutral.  They’re a light beige with [...]

So, yeah, I haven’t done much in the way of DIY projects lately.  I also haven’t come up with any mind-blowing outfits.  Not much coming down the pipeline this week.
Also, next weekend is my husband’s & my 10 year anniversary!  I can’t believe it either!  It’s been a great ride & we’re taking a few days [...]

This one is just showing off a couple of thrifted buys.  I thought about saving it for the 4th of July but I don’t generally dress up for holidays.  I also think this is a slightly more subtle take on the red, white & blue.  The blue is quite a dark navy so it reads more [...]

My husband got an A+ in Fashion Decades 101 when he asked me if it was 90’s day at work.  That actually was EXACTLY what I was going for!

90’s elements: 13 year old Dr. Martens (totally old & beat up & really from the 90’s = bonus points!), leggings (I remember still wearing these when I worked [...]

I’ve been inspired by the bullet jewelry I’ve been seeing around (here at botticellisniece.com & here at pipeline refinery, but most of all this bracelet.  (If you know what blog this came from please let me know so I can credit them.  I stupidly only linked to the image instead of the blog post & can’t tell from [...]
