This is what I brought to wear to the swap last Thursday. I didn’t end up wearing it because I was much to lazy to change out of jeans, military boots, a stripped tee and J.Crew Cardigan. I do very much love this outfit though. I got to go out by myself the other weekend and hit up a few thrift stores. It was like heaven. That is the one thing I think I miss the most before Rowan arrived. The time to just wonder around thrift stores looking at everything in the rack. It takes time to find treasures. I do very much appreciate it now when I do get a chance to do that.
I love finding someone else’s old clothes and taking them home to make my own.

That hat is just perfect! I wish I was a hat person.
I’ve had such great luck at the thrift stores lately too… and I take my toddler and bubba with me… they do really well.

the hat and shoes sealed the deal for me. okay, fine, and the pencil skirt too–what a beautiful color olive is. and the stripes. ummm…i’m sounding weird listing out each item of your outfit here. basically, i love it all. you look fabulous and feminine and chic.
