Tuxedo jacket, Odds ‘n Evens (thrifted). Blouse, Bebe. Cami, NY & Co. Floral skirt, Parallel (via swap). Pumps, Michelle D. Cameo, shopgoodwill.com.This is the sort of outfit I call “business boring.” Blazer + blouse + skirt. *Yawn* There’s nothing wrong with it….it’s just missing the theatrical flair I prefer.
I can’t remember who, but a commenter recently asked if I’d tried shopgoodwill.com. In fact, I was somewhat addicted to it a few winters ago. Actually, I had a cameo jewelry problem, and I’d search shopgoodwill.com almost every day in search of new pieces. I think this is the only item I “won.” I’m thrilled that they’ve come back into fashion for fall. I’d like to thrift some and craft them into new pieces – perhaps a hair accessory?The headband looks gray in the photos, but it’s actually a tweedy herringbone.
Damn, I look bored. Actually, I’m just tired. Ballet class didn’t end until 9 p.m. last night.
yay shopgoodwill! it's where i've been getting the vast majority of my hello kitty...
ReplyDeletei work for a goodwill, so i'm a tad partial to shopgoodwill.
That skirt is so not boring.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking 'that's a lovely outfit, that something I might even wear myself' when I saw your comment about what a boring outfit it was. Er, I like it - it looks very elegant. How can that skirt be boring anyway?
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'm just jaded. My excitement threshold is abnormally high. :)
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have a gift for outfits that wouldn't work on everyone, but definitely do on you.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, what do I know about fashion? I'm a guy...
I dont think this is boring at all--the skirt makes it not so and I think it looks great on you!!
ReplyDeleteYour yellow pumps could add an extra pop of color if you're wanting something a little different to mix it up some too I would think!
It was me! I made the comment about shopgoodwill.com. I am addicted too, but with the extra shipping charges and percentages that they add on, a $5.00 purchase can be $20 when it is all said and done. I am also addicted to Etsy! The skirt looks very nice!
ReplyDeleteAgreed with everyone else - so not boring! I would have done more yellow, maybe even a hit of bright red in there to jazz it up?
ReplyDeleteI'm "meh" on the headband.
The skirt keeps it from being too boring, but provided if you're sitting at a desk no one gets to see it. Totally cute though!
