Tuxedo Shirt and Poppy Skirt


I rummaged in my tiny little closet (nightmare for me) and found The White Tuxedo shirt was a purchase from Downeast Basics as well as the skirt, a while back. I do know the skirt is no longer available. The orange tee is from Coverwear. The eyelet slip extender from Vintage Hem and the heels well they are from DSW.. You know how I love the heels. Good thing I have that tall hubby. With my heels I am 6'1. No Shrinking Violet..

(you probably figured that since I post my rear end for all to see)
What do you have already existing in your closet? Go find some pieces and figure out a new way to wear it..Go and look and try different colors and textures together. Make your own style and be unique.

If we were all the same things would be mundane.

In Progress

My Great Finds!

A one of a kind, handmade leather handbag! $2.60 Are you kidding me??
A brand spankin new pair of Levi's for $5..
A cute, eyelet skirt that would look great with a vintage hem slip extender underneath. $4.69

A pair of Miss Sixty's.. SWEET. These retail between 170 to 250 bucks.. I got them for five..
This proves you can be stylish even if you don't have a wad of greenbacks in your purse.. Just have to know what you are looking for and to be patient.

Successful Trip to Goodwill







We took an hour and found us some great deals!
The youngest child a 5 year old boy, found some good school clothes, for his rapidly shooting upwards bodyThe 7 year old daughter did too The 10 year old daughter got a jean jacket and a purse.. Backpacks for the three youngest kid. Nice and Sturdy brands!

What is the Greenest Thing You Can Do as Far as Style?

Who says it isn't okay to buy from consignment shops, thrift stores and second hand shoppes? Think of all the material saved, emissions from production saved, land resources saved and chemical output saved and the bonus, you usually save a ton a money and find great stuff. Don't forget you are helping those in need when you spend your $$ at stores like this. They usually fund a homeless shelter, a lunch kitchen for the poor, disabled individuals and so on and so forth. My favorite store is the Deseret Industries (a staple in the West). Sadly we don't have them here in the South, but still plenty of great places to look. As an example I am going out today. My mission to find the youngest three a new outfit for school. Plus I will see what I can find for myself in the process, last time I found a pair of Von Dutch jeans in my size and for five dollars. We are off!
