Halloween: Pink Poodle Baby

Happy Halloween! Violet did not go trick or treating on her 2nd Halloween but her grandmother was kind enough to supply us with a costume. My mama knows that she wouldn't have one otherwise. This costume is super adorable and I think V enjoyed wearing it. She was all smiles in it.

Thrifted Treasure: Shoulder Pads & Granny Pants

This is an experimental ensemble. It's a little bit outside of my comfort zone. I'm wearing clothes from decades past on the top and bottom. I like it but will I feel confident in it? We shall see as I'm most likely wearing this tonight. It's cold out there. I'm thinking of swa…

Thrifting Thursday: Cheetah & Denim Treasure

This was not my intended outfit. I was trying out the cheetah top with a beautiful vintage pink Oleg Cassini skirt. I thought it would be cute. I looked very matronly though. I was pressed for time trying to beat the clock on V's nap when I took this picture. I snatched up the pants in the nick…

Thrifting Thursday: Green but no Kermit

The lovely blazer was purchased for me by GirlGetALife. I didn't have cash on our thrift date and didn't want to use my card for a purchase that was roughly $1.50. I love it. I don't wear a lot of green. I didn't think it would compliment my skin tone. I was wrong. It's a great …
