Today Brought to You by Goodwill

Rand's Daily Outfit Assessment: "That's cute." hmmm. Not a lot of depth to that outfit commentary. But he did keep telling me over dinner how nice I looked, so at least I know I had his approval.

Today was rainy and dreary which means blurry pics since my blackberry doesn't do too well in dim light. Never fear: I did order a new camera finally and now I'm just waiting for it to come in. So hopefully soon there won't ever be blurry pics.

What I Wore That Matched the Weather:


  • grey skirt (W.D.N.Y., thrifted Goodwill)
  • magenta silk camisole (Old Navy?, thrifted Goodwill)
  • floral cardi (Target, thrifted new Goodwill)
  • grey stretch belt (thrifted Goodwill)
  • bracelet (Monet via Macy's)
  • necklace (?? via Ross)
  • black woven platforms (??)

What I Ate That Really Needed Basil:


  • breakfast: Fiber One Honey Clusters, blueberries, Almond Breeze
  • lunch: chicken sandwich, snap peas, carrots, cherries
  • snack: SoyJoy, string cheese
  • dinner: Penne with Sauteed Eggplant and Tomatoes, we added basil b/c it really needed a little more flavor
  • dessert: mini microwave cake

Total for the Day: 28.5 points, 5 glasses of water, no exercise

I like how you are working that fifties silhouette, with the belted cardigan and full skirt and heels. Pretty!

Jess said...

Such a pretty cardigan! I love the splash of color from the cami.

I hate to use cliches, especially regarding gender, but it really is like pulling teeth sometimes to get men to acknowledge our sartorial efforts.

you find the nicest stuff at Goodwill! I need to travel about 25 min away to go to one. I know half the fun is digging and finding "treasures"

Just love that cardi! And supper looked delish. You're making me hungry and it's not lunch time yet ;)

Diana said...

I agree with Rand on this one - it's definitely a cute outfit. I like how you've mixed patterns and textures.

The skirt is my favorite part for sure!

Hillary said...

Wow, I can't believe you found that skirt at Goodwill. I love it! It's great with the shoes.

Tina said...

Brooke - Thanks! 50s is one of my favorite looks!

Jess - haha! Rand is pretty good about appreciating when I put forth an effort.

Sher - I am really lucky that I pass one on my way home from work and I have at least 4 more within 15 miles of me.

Diana - thanks!

laniza - thanks! My hair is mostly just really frizzy here. I curled it with a curling iron this morning and then stuck a headband in the middle, but it was rainy and my hair got flat and frizzy.

Stacy - thanks! It was fun to wear the skirt for sure!

Erin - Thanks!

Other Tina - brown sounds pretty! Clearly you and I have similar taste in clothes!

eednic - thanks!

Heather - thanks!

Cindy - thanks! That's great to hear. I'll check out your blog as soon as I am in back in town.

Honeybunches - awww. thanks!

Hillary - I know! I was shocked too.
