mossimo ultra soft cardigan

isaac mizrahi for target skirt {thrifted}

mossimo virginia pumps {thrifted target stock}

 

there is something about navy & maroon being paired together that comes across very much like a uniform to me... like i could be a flight attendant or a private school student (if i had a crest of some sort on the lapel of my cardigan and oxford shoes) or in a music video in the late 1990s.  remember when all of the hip hoppers had the synchronized dancers behind them and they all wore matching outfits, like white tee shirts and khaki pants?  that's gotta be a mya video or something.  maybe they still do that, but i don't know how i would find out.  does mtv or vh1 even show music videos anymore?  these are all things i need to look into for the days when i just don't feel like being a social worker, but thankfully right now that's working out well for me!

tuesday (refashioned + a winner!)

 pure energy blouse {refashioned}   mossimo cardigan {thrifted}

merona doubleweave skirt, merona maura embossed wedges, and merona belt {all thrifted target stock... i know, it's nuts} 

i try not to have shoppers regret (way better than buyers remorse!), but i have really been kicking myself for leaving a pair of orange bandolino platform pumps at a goodwill in georgia that i visited over the thanksgiving holiday.  i honestly can't even say what it was that made me leave them, i mean... when you find quality shoes at a thrift store, you snatch them up (case A, case B).  i think it was the bright color that was the deterrent, but i wish i had those orange heels to wear with this outfit today!  i settled for the orange belt instead.  this is an xxl blouse that i found on the clearance rack in the plus-size section at target earlier this month.  the price tag read $6.58, and i had a $5 off target apparel coupon to bring it down to $1.58.  i loved the print and was pretty certain i could make it into a skirt until my mom stepped in with her serger last week and just slimmed it down to my size.  i still might try to tweak it a little bit, but at least it's now down to my size!

also, i announced the winner of my handmade skirt giveaway in that post, click through to see if it's you!  if i could giveaway a skirt i've made every month, i probably would!  thanks to all who entered and expressed an interest in one of my skirts!
