The Disappearing Outfit...and Happy Birthday, Dave!

First of all, it was my brother Dave's 45th birthday yesterday (yes, Mom, I did remember). I got busy and kept forgetting to call him, but I remembered all day. Today, I sent myself a reminder to email him tonight, so I've just written him a novel about...me! How typical. 

I'll get to the outfit in a second. When Dave turned 40, I wrote this post for him. Here's to you, my cowboy. I'm a day late and a dollar short.

Okay, the outfit. The only thing left is the jacket, but here's the deets (as the cool kids no longer say):

• Jacket - Peter Nygard, consignment; first worn here (2nd outfit) in late September 2014
• Skirt - no label, consignment; first seen here in November 2014
• Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell, thrifted; purchased here (way down at the bottom) for $14.99 in October 2014

I really liked this outfit overall. The jacket is awesome (dig that attached strap at the throat!) and is killer with a pencil skirt.

The skirt is really sweet - I only paid $5.00 for it on the clearance rack at a consignment store near work. However, as I noted last time I wore it, it has no stretch and the seam that I sewed up above the back slit has pulled apart. I can't wear it again, so into the giveaway bag it goes.

And the first wearing of the shoes...and my feet remembered how much they hated 90s shoes, with their steep pitch and non-cushioned soles. I got my hair cut after work and my hairdresser was admiring them. So I gave them to her, and put on my walkin' shoes. She was so excited! She's in her 20s, so these pretty shoes will go to a good home. Makes me feel good - and I know they will get the love they deserve, just not from me!

I only wore a pair of crystal stud earrings today, so without the shoes there is no "stuff" pictures.

Rock on, my friends! Get ready for my re-buzzed short hair again - can't believe I haven't had it cut since mid-November!
