Saturday's outfit. Yeesh, we're behind.
My bloomers are becoming my only solution for the cold weather. I have been wearing skirts and dresses way more than pants, simply because I like them better and I seriously own about 2 pairs of pants that qualify as actual pants and not shiny leggings, but my bloomers I thrifted in St. Marks are such a good way to keep me warm when the only thing covering my legs are tights. And they give volume, always a positive thing.Also, I beat everyone in the history of ever in run-on sentences.
Saturday Caroline came over and we went to the Salvation Army. The first time I've been thrifting since the first week of September, methinks? Yeesh! I do declare my money was well-spent, though. Lace cardigan, pastel striped button-down, gray beaded sweater, crazy sequined dress, and a lace shirt.
A couple of these are for my blogger buddies (you know who you are *hug*) but I juuuuust miiiiiiight have to wear them myself first. Totally NOT SELFISH AT ALL, I'm just doing it to, you know, test them out...make sure they're good quality and warm and worthy of you and everything...you should THANK ME, really. I am being TOTEZ selfless and considerate here.childhood closet top and velvet dress. gifted sweater and guitar strap (worn as belt). thrifted bloomers, pastel striped dress, and floral dr. martens. h&m tights. target brooch.

thanks for teaching me a new word today - bloomers :)
i also have black bloomers and i wear them way too often under dresses... "volume, always a positive thing".
:)
aww, i've always wanted bloomers! ughhh
Volume is not always a positive thing. Especially if you have hips made for child bearing and no other form of fat displacement upon your body. Then, volume would be quite unfortunate.
sheesh, i'm so jealous that you can pull off literally anything! you could wear a plastic bag and still look cool
& i love that lace shirt
& the bloomers
I want to buy the horse you're standing on.
Oh my god, those are some great finds! Esp. the black celestial sequined number in the lower lefthand corner...!
BTW, I tagged you on the "6 Random Things" meme over on my blog....

bloomers = yay :)
Wow, I'm loving the bloomers look. Its really daring but you totally pull it off!
P.S.: Blogger buddies, eh? ;)
Ooooh, I love the gray beaded sweater you scored! I also like your outfit, as per usual.
I love the first picture--so funny.
That beaded sweater looks super-cool and sort of 50s.
I've been waiting for effin' ever for bloomers to come back into style! Every other trend has come back (including Victorian-style corsets, yay!), so why not bloomers? I may have to break down, and attempt to sew a pair of my own.
Love the blog! Ciao!
I'm going to be in a production of "The Secret Garden" and I TOTALLY hope I get to wear bloomers as part of my costume. Omgz yum.
I absolutely heart your bloomers.
gosh your blogger friends are luckyyyy. it always seems so fun to recieve and give in the blogosphere.
I love the blue fishy shirt with the cardigan, belt, and pin!! That's a really good picture.
