Thrifting in grey and red

by Karen Blanchard
16 October 2011
Took some quick pics while upstate today!


Silver jumper: H&M (similar here or here), layered over grey top: American Apparel. Boots: Avail here—> Jeffrey Campell (runs true to size).  Leggings: Hue (similars here, here or here). Shades: Topshop (brown tint version here). Beanie: H&M.  My necklaces: avail here and here
Michael, Oliver and I took a drive out of town today, ending up at a local out door restaurant.
Course we allllll know the #1 rule when out of town:  check out random antique or random yard sales.  I didn’t get the purse in the above picture but did find a gorgeous Oscar de La Renta cobalt blue maxi dress from an estate sale on a side road.  Me: “Stop the car!  Stop the bloody car!!!!” cue Michael making an immediate u-turn with Ollie rolling in the back thinking wtf.  I marched over and grabbed the dress.  I closed my eyes and prayed to the shopping gods that it would fit me when I got home.  It does.
I didn’t want to deal with outerwear today so I wore a metallic silver jumper seen before (here) wool leggings and platform boots.

    OMG! Girl, I could never walk my dog in heels, I tried once in platform wedges…needless to say my scars took a month to heal! BUt anyway you look great, and the picture of your dog looking back is so cute and classic! I love it!
