We had another snow day on Wed, yawn, which means my Easter vacation is now shortened to 3 days. I got revenge on winter anyway by putting away all my warm winter sweaters. I'll get by. The great blue herons are back so I know spring is just around the corner....
Vintage shopping-you never know what you will find and when I spotted this spotted purse at the Goodwill in Fergus I thought of Sarah and bought it just in case. As soon as she put it on her shoulder I knew I was right! I love this purse and it is much better on a 19 year old shoulder than mine. :) Sarah loves it too, so it has a great home. The spots are all flaps so it moves a little, very fun.
So.....onto stuff for me, I stopped at the BB tonight on the way home as it's been a whole week since I've been there and scored on this
Talbots top for only 75 cents!!! Yes, you read that correctly,
Charice. I think it will be great with white capris and shorts, jeans too. Also is a good school shirt which is always a bonus. I have been using loads of self tanner lotion and you cannot tell from this picture, that's for sure. I hate late winter white skin. I am tempted to get another body spray before Vegas but cannot deal with the orange palms, hands and feet. I won't lay in the "cancer chamber" either so the lotion is my best shot this spring.
And now, my favorite find of the day, my Mexican inspired handmade shirt for just $1. It's colors caught my eye and then the handmade stitching, not only in the front but a little in the back too. Zoom in, it's a blanket stitch! Think jean capris with cute sandals and a Corona with a lime. I wonder who made it? I hope they'd be happy knowing that it's very much admired and appreciated by its current owner. I'm off to apply more tanning lotion to my arms, but not my knuckles. Yikes!
You've seen these furs before on my blog. I purchased all three for less than $10 at the Salvation Army in Fergus. They have satin lining and the red one has a little hook and eye closure.
So, we were in Las Vegas for fun a couple of weeks ago and this window at Oscar De la Renta stopped me dead in my tracks. It is in the Wynn/Encore passage-way shops. I had to know how much they were asking so I went inside and had someone helping me within 10 seconds because you rarely see people inside these shops. The guy asked if I'd like to try it on and of course I did. I noticed that it had a silk or satin lining and hook and eye closure just like one of my furs does. It had a ribbon tie that I thought was very pretty and I believe he said it was mink. I took a look at the price tag and it was $3,000!!
The fur that Shari has on is the most similar to this one. I will probably take the red bow off of it. Sometimes I do wear these at home, when it's really cold it's kind of cozy to have one around your shoulders. They also look nice on wool coats with plain collars, maybe my leather coat too.
