Muppets gear

       I've been having a bit of trouble getting into the groove with my pictures since moving back to Pennsylvania. It's mostly the time change- my sleep pattern is totally off, just starting to get back to normal. Like this adjustment, so is the planning around my new 4 pm magic hour. These photos were taken when the sun was nearly set, way past sufficient natural lighting, leaving little patience for getting appropriate images, let alone detail pics. Then again, maybe this outfit just doesn't photograph well. I wore my green felt and fur jacket in homage of Kermit and a leopard print scarf and retro wide leg jeans in honor of the glamorous Miss Piggy and the premier of the oh so satisfying Muppets' Movie.

Sal Val Trove

    At the beginning of the week, I stopped in at the Sal Val on Peach Street. I picked up a couple things, mainly the supplies I needed to do a DIY project. Here are a few awesome I finds I left behind because I just couldn't justify their necessity.



 These loafers are something I have been lusting after! Fringe, designer, great condition- Perfect! Except, not my size. The belt on the right is also a unique high quality find.




 Tapestry is another thing I've been on the lookout for. This is a stunning vintage purse. I hope it is still there when I go back for their Black Friday sale. The whole store will be half off.

 Here is another gorgeous vintage leather, chain strap bag.


 I have been searching for an ideal pair of huaraches. Now out of season, these would have been it, but, alas, also not in my size.
This is such a sweet peter pan collar collar vintage blouse.

Ballet Unwrapped

    I went shopping in the clothes that were forgotten, stored, or laying about my parents house. These pieces were things that were swapped among sisters, going back and forth, and receiving new life over the year. In addition I found some new-to-me things that I can't wait to outfit up. This cardigan is a knit ballet wrap that I've had for years and love the color and texture. I saw it hanging open in a closet and was inspired to wear it as fluttery asymmetrical cardigan.

Two sweatshirts

     Two days back home and yup, snowing. I kept warm layering two sweatshirts, one cropped and one tunic.

Camouflage




   These photos were the last taken in Arizona, on my last date night before the move. I had a fixation with wearing these shoes with this top and it proved harder to match than expected. However, the original outfit, with my high heel mary janes, will be an awesome get up when I receive my stuff. On a more present note, we survived the move, obtained transportation, are happily getting settled, spotting out new apartments, and awaiting our in-transit possessions.

Not so secret garden

      Whew! Today was hectic, running around Tempe tying up loose ends but also enjoying a day out and about to have some last Tempeite experiences. We rode the train, walked around school, and hit up Buffalo Exchange one final time before we move on Tuesday. And on a stunning note, not one thing I wore today was second-hand- a major rarity because I am a cheapskate and thoroughly believe in recycling. Happy Friday and Veterans Day!!

Minder Binder





       The moving countdown is officially down to one week. These pictures were taken before dinner with a friend who is ironically flying out to my home town tonight. Tomorrow we are putting the car back on Craigslist and if we are as lucky as we were the first time, I can expect to be completely tied up with interested buyers. Good thing I ended today in a very comfortable place with my work. I hope you are having a great week! Thanks for stopping by.
