a very long outfit post

I know that I haven't posted the last few days, but I've finally gotten into the habit of taking pictures of my outfits. So I decided to share some of those pics with you. :) 

Thursday night's outfit: brown skirt~goodwill/jean jacket~Walmart/orange shirt and belt~Cato/ bracelets~made by me.

wedges~Payless

I love my new little lens, and while it has many good qualities, I'm afraid that it's difficult to take outfit pictures with. I may have to go back to my old lens for that. 

See what I mean? The pictures are great quality, my arm just isn't long enough to get a full self portrait. 

For Friday, I simply switched out the brown skirt for a jean one, and wore the same orange shirt and wedges.

It was a cute, comfortable outfit for running the roads all day. We had to look for some new pants for my brother (he has now passed me up, and we can't seem to keep long pants on him! The kid's growing like a weed!) so we went to a thrift store. We found some clothes for him, and I found a couple of things too! In the thrift store next door I found an adorable black skirt from Croft and Barrow for $3! It was comfortable, feminine, and the perfect length. It's easy to walk in, but not bulky or unbecoming. I wore it Sunday with my new black heels. I also found a Nancy Drew book for $2.50. I collect Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy books. 

Trying to get a good pic of my blue three quarter sleeve shirt, given to me by my mom. 

the new black heels. :) 

My new $3 skirt! 

The matching necklace and bracelet were made by me. I wanted a formal looking jewelry set, and someone from church gave me the black crystal beads from a broken, three strand bracelet. I already had the pearls, so voila! 

Then Saturday I went shopping in one of the best stores, called Momma's Closet. ^_- I like to point out to her clothes that she never wears, and ask if I can have them. Sometimes, like this time, I have to trade for them. So, I traded a leopard skirt that I never wear, for a different leopard skirt that is floor length, and I like  much better. Luckily, my mom liked my leopard skirt better, so we were both happy. Also, she gave me a black pencil skirt that she doesn't like. It's very cute, but I have to sew up the slit, and possibly shorten it a little bit to right below the knee. See? Everyone wins. :) 

Well, this has become a rather long post, so I'll leave the other stuff I was going to talk about for tomorrow. 

Adieu!
