My look today has me fall ready with a variety of pieces from all over the place! It is worth it to take the time to circulate your favorite places often. I noticed yesterday that a new THRIFT store has opened near my house...can't wait to get down there later in the week! So, how often to you get by your favorite places to purchase clothing???

ReplyDeletelove the shape and pattern of that bag

I agree that regularly visiting one's favorite stores pays off. I visit my thrifts weekly--though it doesn't always come together in a look right away. I love the colors and the patterns in the sharp look you're wearing today. And Gigi's necklace is a lucky find.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the bag and scarf play off each other. I hardly ever get much time to shop "on foot." So I tend to target venues I know will either carry my size or carry brands that have worked well for me.
ReplyDeleteI don't particularly love shopping, but when I need a wardrobe addition, the thrift store is always my first stop, especially on discount day. Nothing makes me happier than a bargain.
ReplyDeleteI love your blue necklace!
i love your term of 'burdening a wardrobe'...so aptly put my dear! I absolutely agree...having pieces that don't relate...impacts the clarity of choice in ones closet! Makes me think maybe I need to look again at my closet...and perhaps unburden it a little!
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! I will have to take my "burdens" out of my closet! Maybe my closet will make more sense then!
ReplyDeleteYou always look so put together, Pam! You must be the best dressed teacher in the district! xo
ReplyDeleteLOVE today's look!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I live too far away from shopping to do it frequently...mostly online shopping and maybe once a month to an actual store.
STUNNING outfit Pam and I ADORE the purse--so unusual!!
ReplyDeleteThere are 4 thrifts here in Frederick where I work i hit weekly and the 4 thrifts in the town near my home (Hagerstown) i hit weekly. I just realized I am hitting EIGHT thrifts per week!! LOLOL I often don't buy anything but I have a wish list that I always am looking for!
That's a great outfit for a teacher and esp what you did with the scarves! Happy school year!
ReplyDeleteMy closet is already so full I've been avoiding shopping. Usually I suddenly will find myself with time on my hands, and I'll hit all my favorite places at once. The credit card suffers on days like those. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLove love love that purse!
This outfit is so elegant - I love how you've coordinated the scarf and the bag! You're raising the standards for teachers' dress code!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mix; I just love red, white and black together. That bold bag really makes the outfit!
ReplyDeleteThis is the hardest thing for me, Pam -- when I'm teaching, I get into this rut: work-home-work-home-work-fall into bed. There are a few stores that are conveniently located enough so that I COULD swing by on a Friday afternoon -- Macy's, Kohl's, TJMaxx. Everything else requires a weekend day, and as teachers, we know: there are not enough weekend days!!!! Bottom line: I'm lucky if I swing by my favorite shops even once a month. Usually far less. And I wonder why my wardrobe is small!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way: that sophisticated outfit of yours is JUST to die for.
