Flowers — I have a weakness for button down shirts with flowers on them.
So today, I had to take my car in for her 6 month service. I was going to wait.. .mostly because I thought it was only going to be about an hour long. They said they would call me. I wanted to avoid sitting for the whole time in the waiting area.
Low and behold… right across the street… was the Halsey Goodwill. So, I marched on over to see what the story was.
Personally, I like going on Wednesdays… because I get the older person discount. And because I already have a lot of clothes…. trying to pare down — I decided to only buy clothes from the “color of the week” the price tags are different colors, and color of the week gets half off Today was blue.
I tried to show some restraint, really I did. I ended up putting back about half of the things I had originally picked out — mostly because I had something like that at home. But really… who can resist a nice spring Ann Taylor skirt –for $3.50….Spring is just around the corner! And…I can wear it on top of Woolamina, paired with a cardigan!
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
What’s in store today:
Van in to be serviced, which means a couple of hours with books on Audible! Still listening to Pema Chodron’s Don’t Bite the Hook — and loving it!
Goodwill!!
Then pretty much lay low — that 2nd dose of the vaccine has left me a little achy!
Here’s what I came up with for today!
I have a fondness for vests… I think it is the pockets. It is so nice to have a place to put your keys and phone…without having to dig through the purse.
Hard to resist for $3.50!
This little shirt is quite sheer… and in the past, I never would have gone for it.
But now, over the dress, it is just perfect, and not too warm. And… $3.50
Rainey, of course, photobombing agian. And she is wearing her pink hoodie. I think I have to order her another one… so soft and washes up well.
I wasn’t familiar with either of these brands– the vest is Dolled up, and the shirt is by Love Tree in Los Angeles.
Neither are super classic pieces, but they are fun, and will be great through the summer — when I get my Sierra Tank Dress!
Thanks for joining me on my flowers post. Stay tuned for the next 65 days of #tracywearswool!
Be well!
