Something new to wear

Isn't this a cute skirt? I got it at Goodwill for $5 a great price plus the skirt is fully lined. It's pleated at the top and then flares out to a very full skirt. I haven't worn it out yet but I love the swirly, vaguely Indian print of the skirt and the addition of sequins.

I'm feeling very sparkly!

But what to wear with it??? I decided to shop Le Closet! Unfortunately, there's not much to choose from but I did find this top purchased from a catalog so long ago that I can't remember its name.

The top paired with a chocolate cardie from Goodwill for $3.99 never worn and still had the shop tags on it! Imagine, originally $35!


A sampling of earrings to choose from. The hoop pair are from Forever 21 and the other three are from long ago. You can see some of my tea pot collection in the background. I'll do a post on them one of these days.


I've been jonseing for a charm bracelet forever and finally found one! For some reason they remind me of being a kid again plus they're just plain fun. This charmer was only $1.99 from Goodwill. They are supposed to be clam shells one half pearlized and the other half gold plated with a pearl in them. I think this will be a good match with the skirt.

Rampage peep-toes (ridiculously priced at Ross Dress for Less last year so I HAD to get them) and two-tone Bandolino slip-ons (from Goodwill barely worn). I think a nice straw wedge would be nice too.

Here is everything put together but I will really have to work on getting some tops to go with the skirt. Sorry the photo is a little blurry but it's the best one of the bunch! It's 93 degrees today and I am wondering what I am doing in a sweater!

How about something cool to drink? I picked up two bottles of this new drink from Canada Dry, sparkling green tea ginger ale. Don't they put green tea in everything these days? I completely demolished one bottle yesterday and am ready to start on this one. Come join me and bring some nibbles with you! Maybe we'll catch a cool evening breeze.

The glass cake stand is from a neighbor's yard sale about a year ago and the wine glass is from Marshall's. It features the Franciscan Desert Rose pattern that I fell in love with when I was a just a kid.

Have a good one!
