Worky-Work, Busy Bee

Monday again! This calls for a Serious Work Outfit:
Nothing new to see here, all repeats. The cardi was last seen here, the vintage blouse was last seen here, the lace skirt was last worn here.

The outside shot:
I love these shoes - they're so...prim and proper. So unlike me! I last wore them here.

The stuff:
Such awesome shoes.

The mink brooch:
I bought it a few years ago in a thrift shop with my mother-in-law.


Cardigan (Kersh), blouse (vintage, handmade, thrifted), skirt (Planet), shoes (Steve Madden, thrifted), belt (Plum), brooch (vintage, thrifted), pearl earrings (Aldo Accessories).

I also did another outfit this past weekend:
It's not much of an outfit; just my black sack dress (last seen here) and some sandals, and a few charms on a chain. I went thrifting with Lesley from work (yo!), and wanted to be nice and comfortable.

I did get my gold medal finally!
That's from the race I did in May (talked about it here). Yay!


Dress (Max Studio), sandals (La Canadienne, consignment).

  1. Greens and browns paired together are my favourite combination this summer!

    And yay for thrifting - especially with new work people! I'm restraining myself these days.

  6. The lace skirt is so flattering, love it with the cardi. And I've never seen a mink brooch before (I must live in Hooterville!) It is splendid. As always, you put a smile on my face : >

  10. Thanks, Cara - it's a great combo. Thrifting is so fun - it allows me to shop to my heart's content and not break the bank.

    Laniza, thank you so much - ha, I will remember that!

    Dimi, aw, you are so sweet. Thank you!

    Pam, thank you - that means a lot to me.

    Ally, thank you!

    Patti, thanks so much. I bought the brooch because it reminded me of one I had as a kid (my grandmother gave it to me).

    Sal, thank you! Me too. :)

    Megan, thank you!
