Back to Basics

At home writing/researching, haircut  & thrifting(?), coffee with friend this evening

All thrifted

I especially like the "stretch" in this black blouse. 

It is comfortable and maintains its crisp look throughout the day.

Pleased with Plaid

Thrifted plaid Pendleton jacket ($4.95)
Two of three recently thrifted plaid skirt ($.16 each)
See a little more about "plaid" at my other blog ...

Sunday--It's All About Him

Sunday School and Church where I'll sing with the "Praise Team" this morning.

I realize my "look" doesn't change a lot.  I am wearing a three-strand pearl necklace that I think goes well with the pearlized buttons on my pinkish sweater.  Everything you see was purchased at a thrift store.

My "Uniform"

Somehow I never tire of black. When I took the "seasonal" color inventory years ago and discovered I was "winter",  I was confirmed in this preference.  At times I call this combination my "uniform".  Whether worn with denim or tan, I feel comfortable when I wear black.  I hope it's not TOO dreary for others.

Another Black Skirt

I can't get enough of them!  I found this one - a corduroy - in a thrift store in Gridley, IL.  (This happens to be the town in which I attended elementary school!)  I tried it on this morning and can see from the photo that I need to wear different shoes when leaving the house.

Thrifting in the Belt-Way

My out-of-the-state thrifting excursions Monday and Tuesday netted these four belts. Three at a dime each; one for $.35. I look forward to incorporating them into my wardrobe. I've been looking for a way to introduce some pink into my outfits, and this seems like a good starting point!

I'm thinking I should roll these jean cuffs down for a longer-leg look.  I guess that's the value of photographing one's outfits.

Yes, I think so....
