Thriftanista in the City

Last night I attended the launch party for Seamless' iPad app at Highball Lounge. I felt like I had stepped into a Mad Men episode and the ladies restroom looked like a Tiffany's box. I ordered a meal using the app and the food was promptly delivered. It was pretty seamless! No problems. I went with girlgetalife and she ordered from a different restaurant. So we ate together but at different restaurants. :) What I Wore The jacket I'm wearing is at least 10 years old. I thought it was so dope when I bought it AND the matching boot cut pants. I loved it so much I had the cheap fabric tailored to fit my short limbs. Later on, I felt like a mobster in a bad shiny suit. I'm pretty sure I got rid of the pants many years ago. I kept the jacket because I keep all jackets. With trends repeating over and over again, I know that I may end up wearing it again. One thing about this particular piece...I do remember the fit being a bit roomier though. Funny how clothing shr...

I like playing in the dirt. Especially when I'm wearing white. I can't see her face but I know Mama likes it too.

I seem to have deleted the content of this post accidentally. Boo.

Happy Friday! Cheers to you! I shall have at least one of these before the weekend ends... St. Germain Cocktail I had this at the fashion show I attended last week. So good. I guzzled it just a little bit. Luckily, the lady manning the station was very frugal with her servings. The recipe. If you decide to make one don't forget to invite me over! Green Juice Hey something healthy! I pulled out my juicer after over a year of hibernation. I had a spring in my step after drinking this. I think it's the ginger or maybe it was the coffee I had before the juice.  The recipe: Spinach (2 handfuls), fresh ginger (1 inch piece), a carrot, and 2 macintosh apples. It's delicious! Yes, really. Funf Sassy White A bargain bin find. The bottle is super cute and the wine inside is yummers. There's no other way to describe it. It's light with a little bit of sweetness. Drinking this wine taught me something new. Funf is German for five! Boozing AND l...

This is me yesterday wearing more mom clothes. Today I wore my thrift store shopping clothes and now I'm just down to a tank and ill fitting but comfortable cropped pajama pants...and they also have pink flowers. Tres chic! It was way hard to get a shot of this romper without creating a faux camel toe or maybe I really did have toe *checks self in mirror*.  No, it was just the camera angle. I love the pattern on it and last year I was all into rompers. I don't think they have the same appeal for me this year. Especially one from Miley Cyrus. I'm guessing this is made for a junior body. The jacket is on the other end of the spectrum and I just really like the color. It's lightweight too so I can cover my arms on warm sunny days and keeps my arms from breaking out due to sun allergy. Tribal print romper - Miley Cyrus (thrifted) Lime green jacket - Susan Bristol Petites (thrifted) Silver flats - Talbots (thrifted) Are there clothes from the Juniors section in your closet? ...

Keys and my legs will take me far and so will my imagination.

I am not complaining about the weather at all. I will say there are wardrobe challenges now since it's too hot for tights and wool dresses / skirts. My summer clothes are mostly wrinkled and packed away.  I won tickets to a fashion show and I needed a weather appropriate outfit. I was able to find this dress hanging out in my closet. I bought it during the winter months so it wasn't packed away. It's a pseudo bandage dress (minus the tightness) and it's color blocked. Two  past  passing trends in one! The green jacket -- I didn't put away because I adore the bright green color. The leather clutch is nice and simple. A nice break from my Mama bag. I'm thinking about a DIY for it. Neon paint? Hardware? or just leave it alone? The Stuart Weitzman pumps are growing on me. They're really girly. I smile when I look down at the flowers on my feet. Also, the heel height is really manageable on my "de-conditioned to high heels" feet. Voila! All ...
