Brocade Pants Blessing from the Thrift Gods
Thank you thrift gods for the awesome brocade pants. I've lusted over them since the J. Crew Spring / Summer 2013 collection. No they aren't J. Crew but they will do. I paid $2.50. Oh yes, they will do.

$20 Thrift Haul: This or That?

$20 Thrift Haul: This or That?
Like a lot of Thriftanistas, I have my thrift store maximum. It's rare for me to actually stick to my thrift store budget of $20. Besides, times have changed. $20 isn't what it used to be out in the thrift streets. There are still good deals but sometimes you have to make decisions. Should…

Thrift + Style: The PussyBow

Thrift + Style: The PussyBow
I like pussybow blouses and not just because of the ridiculous name. It's a blouse and a necklace all in one! It increases blog traffic too for all the wrong reasons so if you arrived here looking for p and no bow...sorry it's just me and my thrift store threads. I found this new deadstock…

NickMom, Wine, and Me
Thanks to Collective Bias® and NickMom  for this sponsored post and allowing me to express my #MotherFunny. I'm not a perfect mom. I'm a real mom. When I was a non-parent, I thought my future kid would never watch tv, listen to crappy songs on the radio, or eat candy. My real kid does all of…

Bucking Trends and Fashion Rules

Bucking Trends and Fashion Rules
I wore a crop top at almost 40 and white pants after Labor Day and lived to tell the tale. Continuing my theme of bucking trends and fashion rules, I played around with some of my favorites - sequins, menswear, and animal print all at the same time.

Oh. My. God. Becky. Look at that denim shirt. She wore it last week. She wore it the week before and she's wearing it again! Yes Ladies, I am remixing the J. Crew perfect shirt once again! It just went so well with the denim pencil skirt and everything else I wore it with. I'm not usually …

Thrift Haul: DvF, Ferragamo, Weitzman shoes and more
This thrift haul is all shoes! They are not from one trip but most are from the last month. Some are from thrift stores and some are from estate sales.

Where I Profess My Love of Cinch Belts

Where I Profess My Love of Cinch Belts
As if this button up shirt didn't have enough going on with rhinestone buttons, velvety corduroy shoulders, and an abstract animal print. Nope simply not enough. You know what this top needs? A bead and sequin cinch belt!
