Sometimes I have to dress up and go beyond my rainbow sorted stacks of tshirts and worn out bellbottoms and venture into the stuff on hangers. It requires some thought.

vintage cashmere sweater (ebay, I switched out the buttons, of course)
vintage paisley skirt (thriftshop, used to be a dress)
pink striped tights (Betsey Johnson)
favorite red shoes (used to be brown, I painted them red)
awesome brooch (ebay)

Haha…Did anyone else think of this or is it just me?
