vintage leslie fay black velvet
Vintage Leslie Fay velvet dress.
Purchased long ago at Jet Rag for something like $15.
Inside was stuck a piece of garage sale masking tape: “$1.50”
Though I love the thrill of thrifting pieces at such insane prices, $15 was still a good deal for this one.
So, Christmas came and went.
I made some tasty stuff, like a goat cheese quiche with hashbrown crust (see my...

thrifted vintage Liz Claiborne sweater dress /...
I’ve been watching Family Ties lately (I knock off easily with media lulling me to sleep).
The show’s style takes me back to junior high.
Jennifer was wearing a black sheep sweater the other day.
And most of Mallory’s wardrobe is pretty great.
This Liz Claiborne sweater dress style falls in that era for me.
My most memorable graphic sweater was hot pink, black and...

thrifted old navy sweater / $5.99
This entire outfit is resale.
Old Navy sweater, Banana Republic linen slacks, scarf & belt are all thrift.
The heels, a favorite pair, I bought at the Long Beach Buffalo Exchange a few years ago.
I love how the high waisted pants elongate my body so.
As you probably already know, I also love a monochrome outfit.
The countdown to my last day of work is in full effect.
Just a few...

marc by marc jacobs tee / $29
Say hello to my live animal collection featuring House the dog & Jack and Pedal the cats.
This shirt is a Last Call mark down + sale + discount kind of thing.
I’m generally not a purchaser of overpriced-because-of-the-designer-tag tees.
I mean - it’s a tee shirt.
Even throwing down $30 seems like a lot.
But this one got me.
Cotton so soft & thin, but not too thin....

ashton's sweet j brand deal
Every winter, I look at my closet and think “What the heck did I WEAR last winter? I have no warm clothes.”
So I put on layers or, like this outfit, a simple sweater + pants combo.
But! Spiced this one up from totally boring with my Tom’s wrap boots.
I haven’t ended up wearing these as much a I thought I might, simply because they take a little time/effort to wrap....

thrifted vintage Country Pacer faux mink fur coat...
I actually had a full punch card ($10 off) making this $15.
Beautiful condition.
At first, I thought it didn’t fit me.
This morning when it was 27°, I decided it did.
So warm.
Surprisingly warm.
I struggle with fur.
As I stand up there with leather boots on my feet.
Even though this is fake fur and recycled (vintage), I feel guilt wearing a pelt as fashion.
Yet here I am in...

wide wale j crew cords / $3
I can’t remember if this pair of JCrew corduroy pants was $1.99 or $2.99.
Either way, a primo thrift deal.
Sort of a gray-ish blue wide wale.
Comfy on an overcast, chilly Saturday.
The place I take my car for maintenance and inspection sticker types of things has a huge empty lot next to it.
So I get to take my dog who is welcomed with treats and an outdoor sitting area.
But...

earrings from dean
Pretty, huh?
I don’t wear much jewelry, but when I do it is simple and small scale.
Most of the time.
Have I shown you my lizard ring, yet?
His name is Virgil.
