Borrowing From Angelina Jolie

I can't remember if I shared this purse on the blog before.  I may have.  I thrifted 3 new purses this year and love them all.  This was one of them.  It was only $4.19, but I don't know what brand it is.

 I already had a couple of other leopard print scarves, but they are heavier fabric and more for fall/winter.  This one is lightweight so I can wear it any time. It was worth the price of $2.09.

 I decided to wear these hoop earrings with green and brown beads to give this outfit just the tiniest touch of color.  I rarely wear these earrings and I liked them with the leopard print scarf and black top.  I wanted to replicate a casual look in the colors Angelina Jolie wore below.

I'll always remember Angelina Jolie looking stunning in these earrings with the gorgeous black dress.  I even thrifted a pair of earrings that look very similar to hers, but they are so large and heavy I don't think I've ever even worn them.  I'll have to see if I can put together an outfit using them.

khaki pants ?
black dressy short sleeved top $3.19 Western Connection
scarf $2.09
purse $4.19
earrings ?
dark brown slide sandal $3.24

These are actually ankle boots with small stiletto heel although they blend so well with the black jeans (tucked into bootie) that it's not clear here.

Leopard and a Chunky Gold Chain

One of my favorite thrift finds is this Michael Kors silk leopard print blouse. It's just perfect for beginning the transition into fall. 
The chunky gold chain necklace is another of my favorite pieces.  It is substantial and makes a bit of a luxurious statement when paired with the silk blouse. 

blouse $9.58 Michael Kors
dark brown jeans $7.99 Chico's
chunky gold necklace $2.50
sandals $6.99 Anne Klein
