greetings show & tell! time for a little WHAT I WORE segment. some of you may remember back this summer my thrift store war posting where i talked about my big sis & i entering into a friendly battle of the goods @ my local thrift. we have very like tastes...thus were vying for the cool hats & boots on that occasion.
i ended up with some fun elements for my fall wardrobe. and put them to the test this past weekend on a date night w/ my hubby. when i was "all decked out"...hubby's response was that i looked like a character from the tv show, gunsmoke. i smiled and took it as a compliment. so here's what i wore...
first was the graphically driven jacket. this was NOT one of things my sis wanted. infact she looked @ the jacket and said she was sure i would make it work. translation...she wasn't going to fight me for it. so work it i did...with another find from that day. a gentleman's wool hat...with a fantastic feather accented band. {see it below} brilliant pop of color!
and since accessories make the girl...i didn't stop with just the hat. oh no. got out some "witchy" boots w/ crazy silly pointed toes that i have had {4}ever. i don't wear them often...because there is a very small window of "comfort" if you will...that my feet and i agree on. but i sucked it up knowing most of the eve would be spent sitting. and eating. not too taxing on the ol' toes.
i also stacked up a medley of bracelets for a mixed-up effect. there's {2} vintage lucite + {2} contemporary bangles intertwined between a long length of leather lace. loved the casual effect it created.
and of course i wouldn't go without some necklaces. note the plural because i don't think i can recall many occasions where i wear only one. today it was two. because i threw in some earrings...and heavens....i wouldn't want to overdo it! i went w/ a chunky look pairing up the GIANT 80's metal ball number {the tarnish made me love it even more than the $2 price tag}.... w/ a favorite shadowbox pendant. the earrings are an antique clip-on pair of disco-ish rhinestone globes. everything is hanging out {below} on my seashell accented antler mount.
the only accessory i was missing was the smokin' gun! so we hoped on our trusty white steed {pickup} and off we galloped into the sunset. where the chuck wagon dining was oh so very good. and cheesecake dessert was even better. those cowboys really do know how to cook!
now i'm back in the saddle yet again...wearing my dickies this time and off to the work shoppe i go to get some projects together for the perham bazaar.
remember...if you're in my neighborhood...patinaWHITE's {DOG & SHOW} show is right around the corner. click {HERE} for more info! i hope if it works for you to pop by - you will do so! and that the rest of you will continue to peek here for some eye candy + ramblings. that's what my show & tell is all about!
make it a great day...
