Quick post! I still have a long list of things to do before I can go to bed and get some rest before the Texas Style Council Conference tomorrow!!! I canNOT wait.
This was my outfit today for thrifting...a lot of layers to go shopping in (something I usually avoid). I wanted to wear shorts and a thin tank so I can try clothing over it and thus avoid the changing room but the resultant outfit was so plain that I added a blazer, belt, and scarf. I definitely hit the thrifting jackpot today! Between Savers and Goodwill, I spent $60 and brought home a dozen goodies. I can't believe I finally found a bright red Ralph Lauren blazer with gold buttons (specific much?) after having it on my thrifting checklist for years. Total haul: 6 blouses, 1 shirt, 3 blazers (2 Ralph Lauren), a pair of Calvin Klein jean shorts, and a Ralph Lauren leather belt. Phew!
PS. Random fact: I can probably start a museum for vintage blazers. If I didn't restrain myself I would probably have brought at least 5 more home with me today...
