So the little "heat wave"we've had here in Massachusetts is definitely over. It was freezing this weekend!
Sweater: Thrift (2.00)
Skirt: Re-Worked Thrift (2.00)
Shoes: Thrift (7.00)
Necklace: J.Crew (14.00)
Tights: from Adria
Hat: hand made by Grandmother
Coat: Gap (30.00)
Scarf: Mom's vintage
Gloves: H&M (7.00)
So this weekend was exactly what I wanted it to be: relaxing and productive. Since September I've had this huge pile of clothes sitting in my studio, waiting to be altered, and I finally made some headway on saturday. The skirt I'm wearing above is something I worked on, it's one of the pieces I found at Salvation Army last Wednesday. I hacked off about 10 inches from the bottom and then blind stitched the hem. I'm REALLY excited about it! I love the pattern. It actually reminds me of some pants my mom had back in the early 90's, similar pattern. My shoes I found on Sunday morning when Chris dragged me back to Saver's for more thrifting. I've created a monster. It's nice to have someone to go shopping with again though. He found some pretty great things too, including the oxford shoes he's wearing below:
(I'm wearing different shoes in this photos because it was taken before I found the shoes I'm wearing above)
Apparently January 18th (yesterday) was supposed to be the most depressing day of the year. Apart from the nasty weather (we've gotten about 8 inches of snow and slush since Sunday) I didn't find it too bad. Because of the holiday I didn't have to work, so I sewed more and hung around the apartment.

You look so cute and warm. And the bird in the wall is adorable.
I spent the weekend altering and repairing thrift store finds too!
glad you had a nice weekend :)
I love the pink owl in the first photo! And great shoe finds, now if only I could get my boy to stay at the thrift store long enough for me to look at things!

of course, i never saw what your skirt looked like before, but i think it turned out very nicely! and i agree with you on the pattern (not the mom's pants part, but i like the pattern, haha). the whole outfit is very lovely and i have a special love for those shoes!!! i've been wanting shoes like those for a while now, but my mother talked me out of buying a light brown pair last week...

Oh my goodness, I knew exactly where you were the minute I saw the picture with the jetty and towers in the back. I used to live outside of Bedford, but my friends and I haunted the coast whenever we could. Cold and grey winter days were always my favorite time to visit the ocean. I definitely miss that being land locked, but I'm happy people are still visiting it!
P.S. Grandmas make the best hats!
i *love* those clark desert-esque boots in the first shot! so awesome!
You always have the best shoes. I love lazy got-nothing-to-do days like that, I wish we can cram more into the week :/
The scarf is so fantastic! This outfit is so eclectic, but it really works on you!
Adorable! I'm a little jealous that you get to have a cloudy day at the beach. That's my favorite!
Your shoes are so swell!
And y'all had a heat wave!?
I guess you could say we have one too...it didn't snow this year!
Great pictures! I love your shoes. You have the best thrift luck!

I love your shoes and those tights are the perfect shade of blue.
That scarf is so beautiful! Those shoes are great as well, they're so pixie-ish. Chris' oxford shoes are nice as well, I think my boyfriend would like them too.
