Sunday Best

I've featured this silk blouse before but, I want to highlight this 100% Merino wool skirt I thrifted:

I wore this to church a few weeks ago and haven't posted the pictures.

As is commonly the case with thrifting, I go home and educate myself on brands I don't recognize but, can tell they are of very good quality. This Wolford skirt can still be purchased for $250, and it is really beautiful (I paid $2). Enough said, go thrift!

Update: My first chemotherapy treatment was on Friday and I am doing pretty well, tired with a bit of nausea. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. I'm told the next few days will be more difficult...until then keeping my spirits up with prayer and rest.

A little more ankle...

Another warmish day and an opportunity to bare some skin, on my ankle that is.

 I loved the way this outfit came together with such a classic feel.

Aviators, red pants,silk shirt, leopard and a trench: timeless pieces for my fashion collection.

Belated Post: Thanksgiving in South Carolina

Found these photos on my iphone. I wore it one day during my trip to Hilton Head, SC to visit my husband's parents.

 I liked the fun skirt, baseball T and statement necklace.

 Sorry to include the bathroom sink but my iphone photo skills are not up-to-par!

What I wore to Oncology

I've been wanting to take outfit pictures but, with all the running to doctor's appointments and being distracted, I've failed. 

I've put together a few good outfits but did not document them. These pictures are taken with my husband's phone for my first consultation with oncologists. I really loved this outfit, I felt great in it and I loved the way it looked together.

Thrifted, hand knit sweater vest, love.

 I purchased this silk scarf about 8 years ago from J.Crew and still love it!

The basics of the outfit were vibrant red J.Crew Minnie pants and cream Blythe blouse. To top it off, I wore my camel J.Crew plaza coat and brown Frye boots. I planned to take pictures when we got home but we were too exhausted from a long day of intense meetings with many doctors. 

Cancer update: I have been classified as stage IV breast cancer with metastasis to the sternum. Early next week I will have a bone biopsy and with the results, my oncologists will map a course of action, with the first step being a mastectomy and lymph node removal. Please keep praying.

Citron and rain

Today it is rainy and not a good day for outfit photos. But, I wore it, so this means I have to photograph the clothes, rain or shine!

I felt a little Aubrey Hepburn in this outfit. And when I say that by no means draw any conclusions that I think I look like her, just quite the opposite: I'm the beast to her waif like beauty.

It's the cropped pants, flats and wide swing style coat that get the comparisons. 

 Enough talk about Audrey Hepburn, the real star of this outfit is the 100% silk boy shirt from Madewell that I thrifted for $2.00.

Shirt: Broadway and Broome (Madewell)-thrifted and still available here.
Pants: J.Crew Minnie
Trench: Larry Levine (old)
Shoes: Ann Taylor Loft (old)
Necklace & Watch: Walmart

Too tall shoes?

The last time I wore these shoes my husband told me that "I was too tall to wear those kind of shoes". Well, as you can see I wore them again. This time with Bermuda shorts to balance out the proportions of this look. 

I don't think for wedges they are particularly high but they are certainly taller than shoes I typically wear.

I think these are six foot high fence sections. Too tall?

I paired the J.Crew shorts with a red silk shirt and a navy polka dot belt to give a nautical feel. I like the sleeves on the shirt rolled up rather than straight down. I think this calls for some alterations.

And now as I look at these pictures with the shoes on, I must be six feet tall. So that's why, he just doesn't want me to be as tall as he is!
