Outfits Not Just Clothes

 I took a day off work recently and went on a thrift trip to Thriftique in Lawrenceville. I enjoy thrifting with my mom and a few friends, but a solo thrift can also be oddly satisfying. Here's a rundown of some dressing room pics.  Here's the haul for the dressing room.  Here's the outfit I wore for shopping. Jumpsuit- Imbohi , shirt- Gap , sneakers- Vans Should a redhead of my shade wear orange? Perhaps, but not this orange and not this dress. The armholes on this J.Crew dress were too tight.  I've been thinking about caftans and big tent dresses for around the house. This one had pockets! And it went into the maybe pile, just about made it to the yes pile, but ultimately did not get.  Another tight arm hole and overall tight across the bust.  LOVE this look of boy plaid with boy pants. I wasn't in the market for pants, but needed something to try on with shirts. Pants are originally men's from Everlane . Found this luscious grandpa sweater originally fr...

 The volume for this year's Halloween was turned up all the way! And now it seems we're ramping right up for Xmas. But there's still some fall to be had and while this look might not immediately bring you autumnal vibes, it does have a bit of a dark romance that fits with the darker days of daylight savings.  blazer-Ines de la Fressange X Uniqlo(similar here ), shirt-Anthropologie(similar here and here ), trousers-Banana Republic(similar here and here ), sunnies-Versace(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry   I first featured these pants in this post  styled similarly with a patterned blouse and tailored outerwear.

But wonderfully Banana Republic Factory is having a HUGE sale check out suiting here .  Also, I'm wearing another necklace and bracelet set from Slide Jewelry. If you would li...

 Here in Pittsburgh we are very lucky to have the Andy Warhol Museum as part of the Carnegie Museum system. And I'm very lucky to be able to have a membership in that museum group for me and my family. The other week, my husband and I had a day-date to check out a special exhibit at the Warhol on Pgh's North Shore. I, of course had to outfit in a Warholian theme.  blazer/skirt-J.Crew(similar here and here ), tee-Kansas City Kitty(more tees here ), necklace / bracelet / ring -Ana Luisa, tote-???, sneakers-Zara(more options here ) Posed in front of "Cows" across the street from the museum where they've expanded into an outdoor public space. From the colors, to the graphic floral pattern, the heart graphic tee, and the watermelon tote, this outfit totally speaks to the venue and the aesthetic. I posed in front of Flowers and Camo painting inside posted on my Instagram .  We checked out this current exhibit Good Business looking at Warhol's screenprints. It wa...
