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 of time. She woke up soon after. I'll have to come up with something else for the skirt. It's long full and pleated. Thoughts?
I'm learning so much about how I dress by taking pictures. I wish I could do it everyday. There would be a lot of yoga pants and nursing tanks though. *yawn*
Anyway here it is.
I'm wearing a Liz Claiborne animal print from decades past. I do believe there's a comeback for Liz that happened or is happening. Anybody know?
The fabric is lightweight and just a little bit transparent. It requires no ironing and it's nursing friendly. It hides a full belly too without being humongous. It has side slits that hit me at my upper waist probably due to it being a petite size and me having a long torso.
The jeans are Gap brand circa 2008. "Old school" denim is the best! I didn't notice until today that they were $3.90 so I went over per garment limit. They fit well, have a nice high rise, and a dark wash so I still think they're a good purchase. I can probably wear these with flats too. Most jeans are way too long on me.
Gawd, I've read the manual and my picture quality is getting worse. Le sigh. |
If your ensemble fails you, do you take it off and start over?
Are you a fan of at waist or high waist pants? Do you seek them out despite trends?

I've started learning a lot from taking pictures of my outfits too. I don't know why, but looking in the mirror is not the same as seeing something in a picture format.
I have been known to look at the picture, strip down and start all over thought... LOL The hubs is not a fan of the camera. Hahahaha
I know what you mean about the mirror. My original outfit was decent in the mirror and fugly in the pic.
You should pop over to Two bird's INpsiration Monday, they are having a leopard printed top outfit inspiration.
Thanks for following, following back!

since the skirt is a bit matronly, a sexy heel is a great choice and probably a tank or bodysuit up top.
