This shirt and Jacket are both thrift store finds. There is a small red embroidered crest below the shirt pocket that inspired me to pair it with a scholarly jacket for a real ivy-league feel.

This jacket has a less tailored fit than most modern women's blazers; few curves and no frilly embellishments. Crisp, clean, and strong.
I kind of like the way the lines of the cufflinks mirror the subtle lines of the slacks. Red, white and blue in the belt, with a touch of leather, give this a bit of a (US)patriotic look. I feel like an elite club member! (and the cigar/glasses props don't hurt)...

Maybe it was the plethora of menswear photos this week, but I just felt like I was in need of something a little more lady-like today. The shirt and scarf are thrift store finds.
My Grandmother's Dress. *BEFORE* This one just _barely_fits. and the top is oddly see-through. I think I'll use the skirt to make something new... ideas?
My Grandmother's dress. All I need for this one is a place to wear it! Super-comfortable. I would have never tried this on in a store, but I love it! I look like I'm 6 feet tall!
What I Wore for Halloween, at the office! Halloween is a tricky time of year for those of us behind office desks. To dress up, or not to dress up... and how to stay "work-appropriate"? This year I think I found the ultimate combo- chic, witty, (a little touch of creepy) and well-dressed! As Tippi Hedron from Hitchcock's "The Birds", I used staples from my own wardrobe, and a few simple additions. :)
