Red Pencil.....

Today starts off the November Challenge Week of Skirts... (Nov 8th - Nov 11th)

I chose this Red pencil skirt... it was one of the first items I thrifted way back in September LOL.. that seems like so long ago.. as I have become a thrifting pro hahaha..  Actually I get lucky every time I go thrifting... finding some great pieces and just about everything i'm looking for :)..

This Red Lady  ~ Skirt is from the Salvation Army... paired with a cute sweater I also thrifted from SA... I love the puffy sleeve detail and the three pearls on the left side...I feel like a "MAD Woman" from the 60's... with my slim fitting pencil skirt and dainty sweater.  I also added a little animal print with my zebra skinny belt. I was gonna wear my matching Zebra print shoes.. but its raining out today :((.....so I substituted black boots.

Stay warm and dry....

December Style Challenge:
I know it's the Holidays... and you will be out and about attending parties, shopping for gifts for loved ones and you need options.. but I've realized just how much stuff I don't wear so for December i'm picking 31 Items to remix for the 31 days of December.

Hope you will be joining me on these style challenges.. I can't wait to see your posts/outfits!!

As for the December challenge, basically pick your favorite items from the list... a total of 31 items. I will be selecting my 31 items: 

(Feel Free to exchange any items you don't choose to wear i.e. 3 sweaters for 3 more dresses... etc.) Just choose 31 items Total....

Here is my Item Selection:

1. 3 sweaters
2. 3 coats/jackets
3. 5 pants/jeans
4. 2 vests
5. 10 blouses
6. 2 skirts
7. 2 shorts
8. 4 dresses

Total : 31 Items !!

You can mix in any accessories : Scarves, Belts, Jewelry, Handbags, Shoes/Boots you like!! They will add some pop to each outfit.

You will be Remixing/ Creating outfits from these pieces each day. You can ONLY wear these selected pieces, so take some time and choose carefully. You will need to get creative after a few outfits. You don't want to repeat the SAME outfit twice if possible :)). 

It think this will be really fun and your creativity will shine. If you need more info.. feel free to email me at blkberry08@yahoo.com

All Vintage Dresses... Feeling Like Such A Lady

I was home all day (Saturday)  today not feeling well.. but after laying in bed watching Lifetime movies all day.. I got bored and decided to take some pics in a few dresses i've thrifted and have yet to wear.  They are all Vintage "Lady Like" dresses.. but styled the right way.. they can be just as sexy and modern as dresses found at the mall today.

Hope you enjoy them :)
