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... 

                                                                                  Be well,

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!

Happy New Year!

Wel, I think I am the worst "blogger" ever in history. I know I have been mia for quite some time but I sort of been busy and lazy...hence the long gap of not posting.  Anyhow, for the new year I am going to really try to  be more diligent at posting.  I just find it difficult sometimes with kids, life, etc...so much to do and so little time.  As for me I have been busy with sewing projects, working out , kids sports/activities and learning more about blogging.  I am very excited to be attending the Free People Blogger Retreat in Philly this Friday!!! YAY :D I will surely update on that upon my return...so here's to a new year, hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with friends and family! Here are just a few pics of my holiday...

Hope you have a great week!

what we wore...

Devin & I did an outfit post today...we decided we would wear a favorite outfit for this post.  I am in love with everything I wore, most of the pieces I've had them for a long time.  Devin wore one of her favorite dresses and added a little funk by wearing her recently studded denim keds.

(I studded the keds for her yesterday and I did a pair for myself - you can see them in my last post below...)

Sunday Threads...

Today I wore my favorite vintage denim jumper dress.  I added a fun sharks tooth necklace and finished it off with vintage red keds which I added metal pointy studs.  I purchased the keds at a thrift store for $3 and a bag of studs for $5 - it took me twenty minutes to finish my sneakers off. They turned out so cool!
