Red Knit Hat

Here's the red hat that went with the scarf I wore in my last post.  It was a little drizzly out and we were running errands so I decided to wear it.

 I know I've mentioned before that I love a backless shoe...a mule, slide, flip flop...LOVE them.  I'm a collector.   :)

Vintage Fur Hat Worn With Cream And White

I'm wearing a vintage fur hat my husband gave me as a gift a few years ago.  The label says B. Forman Co. Dinstinctive Millinery.  I found a bit about a department store by that name and some of their advertisements from December of 1929 here.

Southwest Fringe

This fringed shawl is another first time wear item that I've had for many, many months.  The hat has only been worn once or twice.  I'm really not much of a hat wearer, but I'll don one on a rare occasion.  This may be a first time wear for the wedge sandals also...and they are extremely comfortable.  Love these.  The skirt I think I've had for several years.

In A Slump

Well, the last couple of days have not worked out the way I'd planned fashion wise.  Yesterday I started with this top, necklaces and hat.  I won't even show you the bottom half.  I've thought about wearing this top a few times over the last three years or so that I've owned it, but it just never works and so I end up not wearing it.  I was drawn to the colors of it, but it has a waistband that hits at a very awkward and unflattering spot and the fabric is sewn just slightly askew.  So I made my final decision to put this in the donate pile....along with the pants I was wearing as well.

Today was no better.  I thought I'd had an acceptable outfit planned, but when I put it on, it didn't work.

Ever have one of those days when nothing seems to work?  Yeah, that was today.  Out of alllllll the clothes I own I couldn't find anything that worked, that I didn't want to save for a different color nail polish (so much stress this is causing me, ha), and so I ended up with a very unexciting outfit....and a very messy room.  I will have to look at the bright side of this situation though.  It was pouring down rain and this was comfortable.  It was also the first time to wear this brown/cream top and I'd had it for about 6 years.  Nothing wrong with the top really, I just didn't wear it.  Maybe it's because the sleeves are cut shorter than I'm comfortable with.  So I threw on a denim shirt to wear over since it was kind of cool anyway.

I will try to do better this weekend.

Thrifted Items:  (Top Photo) Hat, turquoise/brown top necklaces.  (Bottom Photos) Navy slacks $1.50 Dockers, denim top, bracelets.
