Is it Fall Already?


It's the first of September! Where or where have the days gone? The holidays are right around the corner and I'm not ready! Perhaps I'm getting a bit ahead of myself why not just concentrate on what to wear for today?

Studio I jacket $3.00 from the Thrift Shop on 72nd
Carol Little Skirt dry clean only but I paid $2.00!!
The black t-neck sweater debuted last week.

What's in your secondhand closet?

Classic Black with a twist


When in doubt wear black. Dress it up or down, it always works.

Today I've pulled out the stops and will wear a black knit top and a pair of black jeans. Both pieces have been a part of my clothing line for years. But the jacket? Outbrook 100% leather, as smooth as butter (not sure why we say that, but it's true), $11.00 from The Class Act on St. Helen's.

Classic Jean Jacket $4.00


The temperature has dropped almost 20 degrees from yesterday. What I had so lovingly chosen last night for today is back on the hangers for another day.

I've decided to fallback on a piece of clothing that should be in every woman's closet - Jeans. A pair of jeans (although I don't know anyone who has just one pair of jean pants), a jacket and a skirt. The darker the color of the jean the easier it is to wear it from day to night.

Did you know? Denim refers to a type of cotton cloth called "Serge de Nimes". Which literally means "cloth from Nimes" a town in the south of France.

So for today you'll see me sporting:
Gap jean jacket $4.00 Value Village in Puyallup
Fred David blouse, $7.00 Nine Lives Vintage at Freighthouse Square
White Stag pants $1.00 The Thrift shop on 72nd


What's secondhand in your closet?
