It’s been a while since I’ve shared an outfit. I’m still feeling chubby from winter hibernating (i.e. overeating). I was able to go bike riding twice this past week so I’m on track to shed those 6-8 pounds I gained.

I have to give credit for this outfit to Alice of Happiness at Midlife. I loved the striped blazer she wore in this outfit.

Within the next few days of seeing her post, I went thrifting with friends and found this striped blazer.


Before I saw Alice’s post I prob wouldn’t have given this a second look, but I tried it on and loved it. Today I was lazy and paired it with jeans but I can think of a bunch of ways to remix it. So I have a great new piece in my wardrobe ~ thanks Alice!

Please excuse my hair, I’m extremely overdue for a cut and highlight.

Necklace made from a vintage mother of pearl buckle and a vintage brass button: Tarnished Royalty. Blazer: Talbots, thrifted. Jeans: cheapies from Gordman’s.

I have some other pieces I picked up thrifting that I can’t wait to show you. Do you thrift shop for clothes? What are some of your recent finds? And speaking of stripes, if you haven’t seen my new link up yet, be sure to check it out in this post. I’m swapping a pair of Tommmy Hilfiger shoes full of stripey cuteness.
Talk soon,
