vintage baracuta by van heusen flannel / $2
Grabbed this flannel at the Ft Worth Thrift Town for 2 bucks.
The story goes…Baracuta made/makes loved mens jackets in England. Such as this swish thing.
At some point the company licensed their name to Van Heusen to make merch for ‘merica.
This flannel is an example of that licensing.
The cotton is excellent quality, but cost corners were cut with fabric pattern layout,...

textured tights
So how do we feel about textured tights?
I don’t mind them. But have had a couple bad experiences with looking cool in the package, then sort of like diseased skin once on leg(s).
These, I like.
tee from Buffalo Exchange vintage skirt thrifted
tights from F21 (i think) Thanksgiving already, eh?
My favorite holiday because of all the tasty food.
Big week of activity....

vintage howard wolf suit / $6
Okay, the whole suit was $6.
But, in vintage teeny waist sizing, this vintage size 8 skirt is about a modern size 2-4.
And it even has pohh-hohhh-ckeeets (cry).
I wish I could wear the two pieces together, but that’s not happening.
So, instead, I only get to show off this beautiful tweed top.
Embroidered with a lovely flower.
How sweet.
I love how the vintage Howard Wolf label...

thrifted moto style denim Gap jacket / $6
I’d been looking out for a denim jacket for a while when I found this one several months ago.
Motorcycle style.
Accompanied by the other pair of boots purchased at DSW during Boot Quest ‘11.
I like these a lot and have been wearing them frequently.
Because the leather is distressed, cosmetic damage blends in.
Handy for fall/winter.
And, of course, are my beloved color:...

antonio melani silk dress / $2.99
Ft. Worth gave me this pretty thing over the weekend via a thrift store.
Silk, emeraldtealseagrass (let’s call it) Antonio Melani dress.
A Dillard’s brand, apparently.
This morning I went downtown for a morning meeting, instead of heading straight to the outskirts of town.
Man! My commute was about 6 minutes.
The building was ON MY STREET.
About 12 blocks into downtown.
If...

thrifted navy striped square sleeves / $3
As worn at Cane Rosso.
Forget what you know as pizza.
I mean, I don’t even really like pizza.
Cane Rosso changed me.
Everything handmade & fresh.
Thin crust, but still - crispy exterior, soft interior.
Just enough cheese to get it.
Fresh, fresh, fuh-resh veggies + meats.
No grease.
Tossed into the fire briefly.
Then into the belly.
Usually only open on weekends, this was...
