Favorite Color: Orange



Blouse:Gift from Niece
Calf hair Belt: Antique Mall
Jeans: Express (old)

We were Thrifting over Christmas Holiday when our Niece found this vintage top.  I might have said something like, "That top is so cool...I hate you."  Yeah, I'm not very gracious when losing out on a vintage thrift.  In fact, I reminded her that two years ago she made off with a vintage wool skirt suit that I was beyond envious of. 

So how did I end up with the blouse?  The next morning she showed up at the house, handed me a bag, and said, "Merry Christmas." :o)

Now after wearing it all day, the dang beautiful thing strangled me the entire time!  Not to worry, I shall make the cutest pillow out of it.  I will enjoy it every single day perched on my couch.  That's way more often than I'd ever wear it, so all ends happily.

Linking up with Share-In-Style: Favorite Colors, obviously my favorite color is ORANGE!

PS:  Thought you might want to see the adorable fishy balloon I was holding! :o)

    1. Yes there are advantages to thrifting alone, but having someone with you to laugh hysterically while trying on something outlandish makes it worth the chance of having to "share". :o)
