I thought you might like to see the clothing I was talking about last week actually on me, so here you go! I looove dark purple, teal, and mustard yellow together. I'm glad those colors are popular right now. The sweater is very warm (I wore it today as well as a couple other days) and I still love it and am really glad I "splurged" on it. The skirt is fun to wear because it's so light and flowy and hangs really nicely. It does create some static so that's a bit of a down side, but it's not bad enough to bother me.
I went to Target and found several pairs of really cute shoes on clearance! These ones were actually marked down like 40% because of a small dark/discolored spot on the right shoe (can you even see it?), or at least I think that's the reason- all the other shoes like it were full price. I bought them because they are the same color as the skirt I'm wearing in the picture and they coordinate with a lot of my clothes. I don't really have any colorful shoes! I wore them around the store for about 30 minutes and they felt fine so I bought them, but unfortunately they rub my feet wrong in a few places when I wear them now... not that that has kept me from wearing them for short periods. I should know better than to buy cheap shoes.
Price: 11.00
I'm really into knee socks! I haven't seen any cute ones lately, but I found out Target has a ton!! I bought this two-pack... gray ones for practicality and pink/purple stripey ones for fun! I wish those patches of solid color at the toe, heel, and top weren't there though. Oh well.
Price: 6.99 (2 pack)
On to Salvation Army! I was there looking for sweats/athletic pants to wear camping, which I did find but aren't interesting enough to post on here ;) I found these super fun pants though... they're gray with a fine green plaid. I like that they're midway between casual and dressy.
Price: 3.00 (or less... I know they were 50% off but I don't remember the original price)
I've been keeping my eyes open for a leather bag. I'm really into leather right now because of durability, feel, and comfort. I would really like a colorful leather bag, but I also like warm natural leather tones. I found this bag at Salvation Army. It's really basic and spacious with three large sections (the center compartment is zippered, and the compartments on either side are open. Also has a small interior zippered pocket on one side). I cleaned it up a little, but it could do with some leather polish/treatment.
Price: 4.00
When I went to Salvation Army last Tuesday it was "family day," and almost everything was 50% off. I'm definitely going on Tuesdays from now on!

You are really good at this thrift shopping either virtual or real. The outfit is very nice. Cute socks. The leather bag is a real bargain. A leather bag that size would cost $30 minimum. Saddle soap or leather dressing will make it soft and supple again. Nice.
Oh, and the plaid slacks are circa 1980s. The shoes would kill me but be OK when sitting in Church, etc. Cute all the same.
