Livin' my life like it's golden...

Blazer:  Doncaster, vintage & thrifted, Black top: No clue, Skinny Jeans:  TJ Maxx, Boots:  Catalog order from about 10 years ago.






Jentine, at My Edit, is such a great "thrifty" blogger!  She recently did a post about thrifting blazers.   I've been fortunate to have thrifted quite a few really great ones!  This one is 100% woven silk.  I replaced the dated buttons with wooden ones.  Amazing what a difference buttons can make!

Honestly, this is just a great "I have no clue what to wear" uniform.  Skinny jeans tucked into boots and a statement blazer.  A girl could do this a hundred times and look FABULOUS every one of them!

Since, I'm feeling so visible, be sure to check out the other "visible" lovelies at Patti's blog, Not Dead Yet Style.  Be sure to post your very visible self on her blog!

    This is one look I've been meaning to wear, I'm very curious about skinny jeans, I wear skirts about 99% of the time but I'm looking forward to buying a pair of skinnies to wear with boots and a blazer! =D
    By the way thank you so much for your kind comments Serene, you're amazing. =)

    I've been away so long, but I love your new header! And, am wondering if you have new digs? Lots of light. I have to agree that Jentine is an expert on thrifting...will have to check out her advice on blazers.
