The Sweater, The Blazer & the Clutch

The title of this post alone makes me giggle. Let me just tell you that I have had this sweater in my closet for about a year or so. I have probably worn in twice, but I have been wanting to wear it for quite sometime. So, yesterday before I left for work, I was determined to make it work. So, I figured all black (slacks and a top) would allow the sweater to make a 'statement'. Plus, I wanted to wear my taupe-ish heels. Bam! The outfit was a success, in my mind ;-) Then, I had somewhere to go later that evening and I wanted to wear the sweater, and my Love Cortnie clutch that I haven't worn yet. I knew the patterns might be a bit too much soooo, I opted for my thrifted blazer. I took pics of ALL of the outfits and laughed to myself. I have worn the same basic pieces and made 3 outfits. I LOVE THAT!!

I get excited when I can recycle items and accessories and things. I am really enjoying shopping my closet lately as well. I have some hidden treasures in there I see ;-)

Enjoy and thanks for commenting!

Hey friends!! Hope everyone is well. Sorry in advance for the pics, once again; I am hoping Santa brings me a battery for my Nikon D70 for Christmas ;-) In the mean time I am using my backup camera, my older Nikon Coolpix. Pics aren't coming off how I want but, I must keep posting!! LOL.

Anyway, this is just an outfit I put on last night when the babe and I hung out. The shirt was my grandfathers :-) As I have said before, I always LOVE wearing his clothes. I feel so close to him when I do. The brown cape I purchased in Greece is one of my favorite purchases .It can also be seen HERE. Lastly, I wore layered necklaces from F21. Funny because in my Santa Baby post, I posted a Love necklace that I wanted. I found this silver one hiding in my jewelery box last night; how awesome!! I already had one and didn't even know ;-)

Also, below is a drawing that was done by, The Cherry on Top, blogger. Its based on the outfit I wore HERE. Don't you just love it! I have seen other bloggers with their drawings and knew I had to have one. what talent! Click the picture to visit the page, or the blog name above.

Until next time, be blessed and enjoy the post!
