Red, Lavender and Dark Florals

Ah, Monday, my old foe. Back to the gym I went tonight, after a 1+ month absence, so now I am tired and I want to watch the football game. So here we go.
 I had fun mixing lavender and pinks and reds in this outfit. Do you see my necklace? Look harder.

This is my dark floral thrifted top, last seen here with more blacks in September.
I'm now down to $2.50 per wear, since I only paid $5.00 for it. Not bad!
The skirt is my lovely buttah-soft red leather number, last worn here (3rd outfit) in August for L's high school reunion.

The stuff:
 Killer lavender booties. My feet are a little sore, so easy shoes for me tomorrow! I last wore these here in April with my transitional dishwater blonde hair.

Did you spot my necklace yet? It's the string of flowers!
How good a match is that with my blouse?

Blouse (no label, thrifted), skirt (Ocean West, consignment), booties (Feud), belt (Plum), necklace (locally-made), leather rose cuff (consignment), earrings (Le Chateau).

 Outerwhere? Outerthere!
Isn't it fab? It was deliciously warm in the morning for my walk to work, especially with my new-to-me fluffy fur scarf.
And boilingly hot to walk home in! This will be an awesome winter coat - it's not quite cold enough for it yet!

I'm off! Sorry for not visiting y'all lately - it's been busy, that's all I can say. Thank you so much for reading, commenting and for lurking (I see you, hee hee).

  13. Gorgeous, plain and simple...! I want you to know, too, that you totally rocked my world with the disclosure of clip-on drapery rings!! I ran out and bought some for a skirt I was struggling with. I wanted to keep it long, but didn't want to wear it super long ALL the time. Voila, the perfect solution, thanks to you.

    The skirt is just one of a number of pieces I've made recently. I anticipate blogging about them at some point soon and will be sure to make mention of your genius. I'll let you know when I do. In the meantime, THANK YOU!!! Your inspiring post came at just the right time.
