When it hasn’t been raining {which is pretty much every 12th day}, it’s been severely windy or both. That’s why my hands are clasped down to my sides in 66.67% of today’s photos {now that I’ve studied more math in a month than in the past 10 years, I’m putting it to good use, okay?}. But the wind {and resulting chill} was a good reason to break out my new-to-me tweed blazer. Nothing beats a good thrift find especially on half off day. I mean for $3 how could I pass this goodie up, shoulder pads and all? Sure it’s bound to sit in my closet for the next 6 months until it gets cool enough to wear again, but I’m okay with that.

Pin It!

  1. Three dollars!?! That's a great find. I never have luck finding blazers @ the thrift store (or much else around here, unfortunately). Seems like since there isn't much great shopping around here, most people don't have a bunch of great stuff to drop off @ thrift stores. Oh well. I think your pictures look perfect! You can't tell it was windy OR chilly. =)

  3. Geez, lately you have been making me gasp as soon as the first pic loads! I love this location and your adorable red shoes. Plus good math work up there, Math Liz.

  6. I hope to see this dress about 9 million more times! The color is gorgeous!!! And you're 100% right. You could NOT have left that blazer. Ever. Anywhere. For $3? I'm such a failure at thrifting.

    And with the red shoes? Um. Genius.

  10. Stumbling upon half price day (with a great selection) was probably just beginners luck. Maybe I should test that theory this weekend!

  11. Seriously where is the sun? Granted it's a bit better today but I'm still not ok with this faux May weather
