Hi fashion friends.

We haven't had much change in temps/weather conditions from last week (still mostly cool/chilly, sunny and mild), so, without further ado...

#1
*Thrifted navy popcorn stitch French Connection poncho-like 3/4 sleeve cotton sweater...thick and warm...
*A New Day navy/white cotton striped tee.
*LDO Linea bar necklace.
*e-Thrifted AG Harpers (second pair in this wash...my favorite).
*Old grey/taupe suede Blondo ankle boots.
*Old faux leather Jessica Simpson bag (real leather connoisseurs are probably mortified, but kudos to JS for this great color and that it looks just like the day I purchased about 5 years ago...it gets lots of use...I would purchase a real leather bag if I could find a similar color).



Color accurate in pic above, but this shows the stitch...



#2
*e-Thrifted LDO Linea whisper knit polo sweater in vivid pink (a lipstick pink). Came in the mail yesterday...this is an outfit I'd wear in the cooler spring/fall temps. IMO, it's not good for winter temps. Color accurate in this pic.
*Thrifted Roberto Piero bag.
*Thrifted silver-tone link necklace.
*Same jeans and boots as in #1.






#3 Had to go to a funeral this week...

*Nicole Miller acrylic sweater. I've been in some dicey thrift stores in my time with some ragged looking clothes, but this sweater, purchased at my local Marshall's, takes the cake. Filthy, dust all over it, what looked like muddy tracks from a fork lift (or something), wrinkled, and missing three gold buttons. BUT, it was only $7.99 and this kind of sweater had been on my buy list for a few years, so I took it home and nursed it back to health and it looks brand new now. The problem is that I don't love it haha.

*Old (talking almost 30 years) Ralph Lauren wool gabardine slacks. These have been taken in twice, have a beautiful hand and drape, and a true straight leg. I've been in NC about 23 years, and if I remember correctly, this is maybe the fourth time I've worn them here, but I have no intention of getting rid of them...they look like the day I purchased.

*Old leather whip stitched Margo bag and old Blondo boots.



I liked the sweater with this thrifted Croft & Barrow wool sweater/jacket with leather front panels (like buttah!)...

 

Note to @ROMARY ...I used the Dritz Sweater Comb on this with a very heavy hand.




Note to all:  I complained about this several months ago, and nothing has changed.  I'm not getting properly notified, so I'm assuming some of you aren't either.  Also, I spend a ridiculous amount of time responding to everyone with an @ notification, but I have zero confidence that everyone is getting notified. And, now, I click on a thread that I've been following, and it takes me back to the OP.  I wanted you to know that I read all your comments, respond to and heart them all, but whether or not I can continue doing that remains to be seen because I don't have the patience nor the time for this!!  QVC, get it together already!

 

Have a great week, ladies.

Love all of today's outfits !

 

The Dritz sweater comb is on my list for pickup at my local fabric store.

 

Just too windy/rainy today.

 

Have a wonderful, safe week.  Everybody.

@MacDuFF 

You look very nice in your outfits. 

I think you might know by now that I love a good stripe so I really love your striped pieces! I also like your polo collar sweater, although I'm not a pink person. I have a red polo sweater and a grey and white striped sweater with a polo collar. Love both of mine. 

Have a Good Week!

All are fantastic looks @MacDuFF - you wear everything so well.

 

My favorite is the striped top and sweater/jacket.

 

And the Jessica Simpson bag is great; it looks expensive and I would never know it isn't leather. The Blondo boots look great with all of your outfits.

Looking good @MacDuFF ! I think you look nice in all your outfits, but I'm partial to the second one. I love your pink sweater~it fits you well and the v-neck is very attractive. Enjoy the day.
