Ahoy Friday

The great thing about these Band-Aids?  I didn't have to photoshop out my knee wrinkles.  Plus, you know, Pirates.  Happy Friday everyone.

Getting My '70s On

Channeling Kelly Garrett today with a knit plaid skirt, black pull on boots and a black v-neck sweater. All that is missing is feathered hair and an orange Pinto*.

Sweater: Banana Republic (old)
Skirt: St. John via Goodwill
Boots: Clarks
Necklace: ? via Piperlime


* I am acutely aware that Sabrina drove the Pinto on the show and Kelly was stuck in that awful Mustang. But this is my fantasy life and I want the orange Pinto.

Everybody Trifty

The lovely ladies at Everybody Everywhere are doing a special thrift edition today. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to show off. I was tempted to wear my fabulous Balenciaga dress but decided to wear something "new" (to me). So say hello to this cute skirt from St. John. I don't know about your thrift stores, but in my area who ever does the pricing was clearly taught that certain designers are worth charging more for. Although it is hit or miss (hence the $11 Balenciaga dress), St. John is almost always priced crazy high (often $100 or more). Somehow this skirt slipped through and I picked it up for $20 (which is super expensive for my thrifting standards but a bargain when you consider the quality). It was 10 sizes too big so I had to get it altered (which added to the cost) but I think it will be worth it for all the use I'll get out of it.

I can't wait to wear this in the fall with tall black boots and a black turtleneck!
