Running with the classics

Today's going to be a busy day, starting with a business meeting at 8am and ending with a ballgame that starts at 7pm.

I've put together a look based on Nina Garcia (Project Runway Judge)10 must haves.

- white oxford shirt Enro Casuals 100% combed cotton
- dark pair of denim Riders
Both pieces were part of a $5 everything that fits in a brown grocery bag sale at the Salvation Army Puyallup
- Van Heusen Vneck sweater $4.00

Nina's list:
1. camel coat
2. striped breton shirt (not sure what this is, so I'll look it up)
3. denim
4. black pumps
5. trench coat
6. white oxford shirt
7. tuxedo jacket
8. statement clutch
9. ballet flats
10. cardigan

Simply Saturday

It's a bit cool out and the sun's playing peek a boo. I'm going with something simple to take me thru the day.

Lee jeans $1.00, Thrift Shop on S. Tacoma Way and 72nd.
100% cotton t-shirt 50cents
Old Navy sweater jacket $3.00, Goodwill in Lakewood.
It's an even sweeter deal as the Old Navy shop tags were still attached!


So what's in your secondhand closet?

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
