The Winter Blues Already??

Has it started already...the rain that forecast the beginning of what's called fall/winter in Western Washington? I'm not ready to pack up my light swing skirts and strappy sandals! I'm not ready to wear the heavy clothes of winter. This year I'm going to pull out my collection of scarves to give a bit of color to what is usually a dark and sort of tired looking wardrobe.

Today I'm wearing:
Top- Carolyn Taylor Essentials sweater $7 from Nine Lives Vintage Wears (Freighthouse Square)

The jeans have been featured before.

Jacket - Union Bay $5 from Value Village, tags still attached!

Scarf - the first of many from my collection.

Wrap Yourself in Style

I love wrap dresses! They hide a multitude of body sins that seem to come about as you reach "that age".

One piece, a bit of jewelry and you're ready to meet the day.

This dress is from Nine Lives Vintage Wear at Freighthouse Square
I.C.E. 95% rayon, 5% spandex great for traveling
No matter how I've tried, I can't remember the price. Just know it was a bargain!

The jacket is FU DA. Think I'll bring it along just in case it rains. The weatherman has forecast a chance of light showers and in Western Washington that's as good as done. Purchased at a church thrift shop while I was in Florida a few months ago.
$3.00

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
