One Thousand Posts

Not that it really means anything except that I have just kept on posting, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, but this is my 1,000th post since I started my blog way back in March 2008.

Wow, that's a lot of posts! Thanks to everyone who:
  • inspired me (you know who you are),
  • has ever commented,
  • reads, lurks or finds me from weird random Google searches.
You all rock, in the best way!

I had thoughts of doing a What I Learned From Blogging post or something like that, but I'm crampy, cranky and hungry, so I'm just going to post my outfit. Probably not my 1,000th outfit but close to it. Nothing really special either; just an outfit.

Here we go! The sweater is new-to-me, thrifted a few months ago and stashed away for cooler weather. I like the colour and the fit. It was all of $4.50:Although it's acrylic, it has very little wear (I alway check for pills under the arms), and acrylic is good for cold offices and chilly September mornings.

The skirt is also new-to-me, picked up last weekend:
It's another Danier Leather skirt, and was only $6.00 in a thrift store. You seldom see printed leather or suede, so the plaid really grabbed me.

The stuff:
My lovely cherry red Miz Mooz boots and the awesome necklace from Tina.

Here's a better look at the plaid print on the skirt:
Olive green printed over with darker green, and the shiny bits are a burgundy/purple (they look shiny in the 2nd picture above).

Here's to another 1,000!

Sweater (B.U.M. Equipment, thrifted), skirt (Danier Leather, thrifted), boots (Miz Mooz), necklace (gift from Tina).

  6. Whoa! Congrats, Sheila! Though I'm not surprised. I'm coming up on 600 way too fast. Amazing how the days add up.

    Can I say I want to steal your outfit piece for piece? I love the color of the sweater, the PRINTED leather skirt (so cool!), and those lovely red Miz Mooz boots. I wish I had broke over and been bold getting them in red!

  14. Sheila, all your outfits are special - that's why I keep coming to your blog! You put so much thought and attention to what you wear, even on an ordinary day.

  15. Love this post. Congratulations on the 1000! And that wine colour is definitely my favourite this fall, so those boots are perfection, in my eyes!

  16. It *is* worth noting. It *is* something to be proud of.

    When I first starting reading fashion blogs, yours stood out as the most frequently-updated. I've always admired your dedication to the forum. That you've done this over a span of years is even more impressive. I've seen so many blogs emerge, splash and then disappear. Most bloggers don't have the tenacity and will you have. I respect you for that, Sheila. Big-time.
