FASHION FRIDAY: REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD!

Hi Guys,

As many of you following my blog may know, I’m almost 7 months into my NMS (no more spending) Challenge. I haven’t bought a single stitch of new clothing, bling, bags, belts, scarves — NADA! Instead, I have been shopping in my own home closet and finding buried treasures from years ago. What fun! This outfit is one newly resurrected treasure. I didn’t wear it for some years as I wasn’t into pink! I wore it when my parents were alive. It made me sad thinking they had seen it on me, but were no longer around. I’m very emotional when it comes to clothes! I am more into oranges and reds — not a pink girl. Yet people tell me they love pink on me! And it has to be said, I get more winks when I wear pink lol!

I cannot believe today’s outfit is almost 10 years old! Yes, and you would never know to look at it. I only know the vintage because I had it for about 2 years before my Daddy died. He died in 2012 so that’s how I know! Every time I wear this ensemble, it feels brand new! It is a testimony to the value of buying quality. The top and vest are both from Lululemon. I remember at the time thinking they were more expensive than I would normally pay for activewear. But again, the quality is tip top! In terms of use per wear this ensemble scores 10/10! I can also wash them in the washing machine and hang to dry. Easy peasy!

I have to walk Coco 2-3 times a day, otherwise she does her business in the house! Sexy heels and fur don’t cut it with this girl. Instead, my clothing has to be comfy, warm, yet cool for walking, and forgiving of all the doggy hairs that accumulate! This outfit fits the bill perfectly and was chosen by Ms. Coco herself! She has great taste. She also likes shoes that help me to keep up with her!

Shopping in my own home closet is proving to be very satisfying!

Have a very happy weekend and stay safe!

Hugs Galore!
