Working Week - It's been busy!

I've been running around like crazy this week, but some of the outfits were pretty cute!

Wednesday, December 15th. Occasion: Work, meetings, dinner meeting













Details: Pants - Tommy Bahama - Tommy Bahama Store, Houston (a few years ago)
Tank top: Cashmere - Boston Proper - The Scholar Shop
Blazer: Rena Lange - The Scholar Shop - fun black, white & red houndstooth pattern, with some sparkle. I love the lining, too
Booties: BCBG Max Azria via TJ Maxx St Louis


Thursday, December 16th - Work - Luncheon Meeting - Dinner out


ha ha ha, I HATE my expression in this pic, but it shows the look pretty well:





and here's the "booty" shot:





Details: (all Scholar Shop unless otherwise noted)
Dress: Max Mara sleeveless charcoal grey shift
Turtleneck: Akris Punto, sleeveless, light blue
Blazer: Akris Punto, light blue
Shoes: Joie black platform pumps, Neiman Marcus Las Call Store, Ft Myers Beach, FL - I absolutely LOVE these shoes. They are surprisingly comfortable due to the platform, and I wore them for about 12 hours yesterday!


Would the color combo in this outfit be called grlue? Yesterday was not the ideal day for bare legs (it was 16 when I left the house), but I couldn't do tights with the outfit, and I hate nylons; so for fashion's sake I froze my legs off! I did have my long coat, so it wasn't too terrible!

I am thinking of getting a new camera for my Christmas present, as the quality of the one I'm using is pretty low. Any suggestions on a reasonably priced digital (maybe SLR)?


That's all for now. I hope I can get a photo of today's outfit before the end of the day.

Scholar Shop

My favorite resale store EVER, is the Scholar Shop in St Louis, MO. I started volunteering there a few years ago, after finding the store when I was out shopping near the St Louis Galleria.

This is me and my fashion guru/friend for life, Ruth. Ruth has an eye for quality and helps you discover what look works best on you. Amazingly, at 73, not only is she beautiful (uh uh, no plastic surgery) and stylish, but she volunteers 5 or 6 days a week at the Scholar Shop in Clayton.

The shop features gently used clothing, shoes, accessories and collectibles from area residents. The proceeds from the store go to fund interest free loans for secondary education for area students.

I have found some amazing treasures in the store, including designer labels like Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Kate Spade, Lilly Pulitzer, and St John, among others. The prices are amazing, and they often have special discounts.

It's a no-brainer, stop by and take a look. Not only are you getting amazing prices, your shopping dollars help fund a wonderful cause.
