From Work to Ballet
This is what I wore to work yesterday and then below that is what I wore to the see Don Quixote at the ballet that evening. I was rushed to get ready once I got home from work and did not have time to do my hair properly and was unhappy with it so I removed that from the photo. The black sweater is a little large, but I bought it because I liked the detachable faux fur collar that I'm hoping to wear on other things someday. I know I have a coat that it works well on. The red skirt was in honor of the upcoming Valentine's Day. I believe this may be hand made.
Thrifted Items: Brown pants, brown turtleneck, tan jacket, bracelets, red skirt $4.99, black sweater w/faux fur collar $6.50, black turtleneck, black booties, jumbo pearl necklace $1, black/silver belt, silver clutch (not shown).

Love both outfits. That pearl necklace is so cool. I have one similar, but not quite as nice.
ReplyDeleteWas the ballet great? I have never been to a ballet, I would love to though. I took lessons when I was in my early 20's. Loved doing it.
Hi, Debbi. The ballet was fun. We go about...mmmm...maybe 6 times or so a year. Very interesting that you took ballet. I've never had any dance instruction. Had never been to the ballet till I married my husband and moved out here a few years ago, so it has been enjoyable.
DeleteLike both outfits and really like the light colored jacket in the first outfit. That will be great this spring...

ReplyDeleteLisa, I love the red skirt (actually both outfits). I have a red skirt that I thrifted and it looks exactly like the one you're wearing...until now, I wasn't sure what I would wear it with or how to wear it. Thanks for the inspiration.
