OOTD

[ms.sss 15,719]

I tagged along with the Kid and her friend to a thrift store yesterday and came to the realization that I have been missing out on a whole supply of (cheap!!) wardrobe opportunities all these years!!!

Left the store with these gems that I am still amazed at the price I got them for. I love DEALS!!!!

Sooo...here's a OOTD photo dump of a sample of what I scored (sorry, not sorry, in advance for clogging this thread, lol)

Find 1 & 2: tank top $5.00 high waisted 70's style jeans $12.00

[ms.sss 15,719]

Find #3: ribbed long sleeve dress: $22.00

[ms.sss 15,719]

Find #4: colour block turtleneck sweater: $15.00

This is my fave item from stash. I hate to say it since its such a beautiful day today, but I can't wait for it to get colder so I can wear it!!

Gotta love a bargain @ms.sss & what excellent finds they are too. I just might borrow that ribbed dress so if it’s missing from your wardrobe …. 😆😆😆

Hi guys! Been off the air for a bit. Hope everyone is doing well. I am doing great! Just had some struggles with my asthma after Maui due to the smoky air out west.

Here is a dress I picked up for $23. I also love a bargain😬😬😬

Oohhhhhhn yeeaaahhhhh….my favouite Amazonian (i.e., tall, lol) queen is baaaaaaack. (I’ve missed you!)

Glad ur asthma issues have been dealt with ❤️

Am seriously loving that dress (I’m going through a love affair with gold/champagne/beige coloured clothes and shoes at the moment…and this fits right in). What is the material made of? Is it flowy or crinkly/rouchy? Either way, you are wearing it fabulously well.

P.S. Bargain hunters unite!

Yeah, damn pleats. Love them but … That’s a lovely skirt, @Sophie7713. Would be worth the ironing torture I think. Especially love the white nail polish too.

How long will you be living in your temporary home & why a temporary residence? Are you building a new home or still looking for the perfect place for the three of you?

Oh my injury was a battle between a mandolin & a sweet potato & my thumb lost. They had to graft my skin back on. Silly thing to do but so limiting cause it was my dominant hand. God bless must nieces who took me to the hospital, did my washing, washed my hair, did some cooking for me.

Want to see a pxt of your new winter flats. These are my latest addition. Actually, that’s not true. There have been several other shoe purchases. Hello, my name is arabesque & I have a shoe addiction. 😉

Ooch! I do hope the sweet potato recipe was worth it... Glad you are on the mend now. Hail to the nieces! These shoes are beyond ADORABLE!!! So happy. The pink and burgundy look so pretty with your ivory porcelain skin. I concur with ms.sss - fantastic pedicure, too. Yes, we are researching possible lots and neighborhoods to rebuild our former home with a new regional styling. Met with builder and architect last week - as I concentrate on the interior design - space, lighting, electrical planning. Will incorporate existing furnishings. Fun! Your guest room will be ready, hopefully summer of 2022... the same goes for ms.sss and greenteal. It's definitely time for the reunion robbed of us by covid twice! ;[ I'll take shoe pics this weekend. Oh BTW, the movers commented to my husband - she sure likes chairs and shoes doesn't she!? ;]

Went to a pumpkin patch with my kids. This is one of our family traditions and I’m glad they are “too cool” for it yet.

OH one is NEVER too young, old or cool for a pumpkin patch! What a gorgeous family, GT - you must be so proud. They are growing up so fast given past posts. Is that their beautiful big sister third from the left!? ;]

You and your daughter would have loved our consignment shoppes in Palm Beach! I frequented them often finding some amazing belts AND some couture outfits never worn still with tags. ;]

Took my 18 y.o. to their very first concert on 9/10/21 for an early birthday gift... went to see Between the Buried and me. Their all time favorite group.. (heavy metal). They just turned 18 this past weekend. We had a blast.

I purchased this outfit from hot topic back in August. Its a Junior's XL. And by the time I got to wear it, it was a bit large on me. But over the 30 day exchange period. But that's OK. I did go back to HT and buy another cute skirt to wear to Badflower in a couple of weeks...a junior size L. I cannot wait for that show because the following morning s my skin removal surgery !!

Now that's one HOT lookin' Mama! Very COOL and a great look for you.

Find #3: ribbed long sleeve dress: $22.00

WOW! Our own Bond girl once again emerges. FABULOUS million dollar look for just $22. BUT the dress is made by the lovely in it. Could you even imagine wearing this a few years ago? I just love my lavender rib dress on sale last Spring. Never would have dreamed I could wear this style a mere 3 years ago... I adore my sleeve and so does my closet!

Thanks, Sophs!...I've missed you as I have wishMeSmaller. Glad you guys made an appearance. ❤️

If/when pandemic is over we all need to get together wearing our ribbed dresses and roam the streets like a gang. I call first dibs on your soon to be completed guest room!!!! 😂

P.S. Fab moto jacket!!!! I looooove the colour.
