Sometimes you idle....and sometimes.....



Of course, with the exception of the shoes, it's all thrifted!  I feel in love with the color and cut of this blouse, but it had long sleeves.  Long sleeves make me feel claustrophobic!!!  I truly, can hardly take it....so once again, I mutilated a long sleeve blouse and turned it sleeveless.  I couldn't be happier with it! If I were a car, this would be me in "neutral".  But then.....




I dug this gem out of the pile at the goodwill outlet!!!  Instant AMOUR!  I was smitten with the pattern instantly!  It was way too big so I just sewed some darts in the waistband and hiked it a little high on the waist for a vintagey look.  Wearing it with 1 of 10 men's white v-neck tees I bought at Walmart....what don't they go with?!  Vintage shoes and belt.  I felt so Summer in Italy in this en-sem!  This is Serene the auto, in overdrive with color!

Just stumbled across an amazing post this morning.  Click here to read, "Are we too competitive?"  BRILLIANT!

    Oh, Serene, I love both of these skirts...especially the second! last summer I bought a boatload of WalMart Ts in different colors! They are great and so affordable...I love a V-neck as well! Hope you have a FANTABULOUS MOTHER'S DAY, sweet friend!!

    I like how you rock your long skirts and I've noticed you always wear excellent shoes.
