It's was a bit chilly out yesterday but luckily I was able to take a few shots. I am in love with my vintage military cargo jacket. I scored this baby for two bucks about two years ago at my local thrift shop and have not stop wearing it since.  It has a great length and I can adjust the waist...I can wear this jacket with anything and it still looks good. I can dress it up or down. Due to the cold, I still needed to layer up here in the mountains so I piled on a few layering tops - most of which were sheer. The plum printed color v-neck that I am wearing is more like a tunic fit...and I topped that off with a really cool printed jacket. I cannot wait to wear this with  strappy dresses in the summer.  Lastly, my favorite jeans...they are broken in just right - I need to give them a rest though...I am sure we all have certain item(s) that we go to daily and we cannot get enough of. It's that one thing you rely on that can pull an entire outfit together...as a Mom, I do not have much time and  need to get myself together quickly so I have mastered this for myself. I have also learned to invest in key pieces and you will never go wrong...

What go to item do you have in your closet?

Well, it certainly is getting bitterly cold now, so thanks for stopping by and stay warm. If you are in Texas at SXSW ~ please bring me back some SUN! I need it so bad right now...

All about the layers

I love living in the Catskill Mountains but the winters here are soooo cold...layering is a must.  I think it's something I have become good at doing over the years, it is a lot more complicated than some people think, you do not want to pile on the clothing and then look bulky and bag lady like.  I spent my day running errands and taking my kids here and there and I did stay warm. I wore my cozy and oh so warm plaid overalls dress, a striped henley, denim jacket and my favorite men's vintage coat and my vintage boots.  Another great thing about my layered items, they were mostly ALL thrifted...that's a huge obsession of  mine.  Anyhow, hope you all stay warm and hopefully Spring will be here soon!

I would love to know how you all layer up to stay warm this winter ?

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I have been having a ton of fun lately going thrifting...and I thought I would share with you some of my favorite thrifted scores...let me know what you think...these have all been thrifted for $2.50 or less...craziness right!

love these boots, I wear them all the time...they were a $2.00 bag sale so not only did I get the boots but a bunch of other things too!

cool belt, part of a $2.00 bag sale hunt...

I love animal print - these were only $2.50

ethinic print mexican blanket bag...$1.99 steal!

these amazing leather leggings by Transit were part of the $2.00 bag sale which I got the boots above and the belt...they are soft as butter and fit me like a glove. 

I will post more of my thrift finds thru the week...

also I am going to start posting a daily outfit post...stay tuned!

be well,

thanks for stopping by...
