More From the Back of the Closet

Continuing on the back of the closet trend, I pulled out this Tar-jay beauty. I bought it on clearance and paid about $10 for it. I feel very Mad Men- it has a really high waist and the collar ties into a bow on the side. It's funny, I didn't feel very cute all day, but like how the pictures turned out, so I take it back.

I love these shoes. They're a wonderfully strange brown/dark purple color that goes with everything. Each one has a half bow that opens to the outside. Sadly, they're too big and slip off with every step-it gets very uncomfortable and I end up walking like a duck. So off they must go. I gave them one more try and they still hurt my feet ;(

Sigh. Good bye pretty shoes. I my eyes will miss your looks, but my feet will not miss your pain!

Reaching into the Back of the Closet

Waay into the back. All the way back to 2007.

I'm making a point of wearing what's in my closet. If I don't feel like wearing it, off to Goodwill it goes! I have too many clothes and I don't wear half of them. How can I be a curator of my collection if I don't edit once in a while? Plus, I have no room for new stuff. Granted, I'm not really looking for new stuff, but it's important to be prepared. For new stuff. Those Boy Scouts are pretty wise kids, even if they do try to sell popcorn instead of cookies (just copy the Girl Scouts and come up with some sweet new flavors.)

Anyhoo, I wore this skirt to our rehearsal dinner. I love the scalloped bottom and the super cute pockets (which you can't see, but they have little bows-adorable!) I used to wear this with a navy button-down, but I like this green combo better. I also like that this coat is even older than the skirt. I took the buttons off over a year ago. For now, its safety-pinned shut under the belt. I'm fancy like that.
