Today (August 8th, 2009) I'm wearing...

Saturday night and I'm going to watch the big UFC fight ...I spent the ealier part of my day chillxing with friend Kate on her outdoor deck and swimming ( I think for about the 4th time in my life, I got sunburnt... I tied to use powder to diffuse the blaring red lobster hue of my chest to no avail...well, at least I got some color ;). Then, as fate would have it, on my way home, I stumbled upon one of my favorite thrift spots and found this white, slouchy open cardigan and a fabulous double grommet belt in a rich choclatey brown hue that I just couldn't pass up!

As far as double-prong belts go, this will be my 2nd...the first was ordered from the Delia's catalog when I was in middle school. I remember falling in love with it from the moment I saw it jump from the page; that and the fact that this was at No Doubt's peak of fame and I had seen Gwen Stefani sporting one just like it in a copy of Seventeen magazine...
That belt and I had some good years, unfortunately I lost it in a bad lending accident, however I am glad to have found a replacement for it in my wardrobe once again :)
  • Brown floral sundress (H&M...$14)
  • White slouch cardi (Thrifted...$8.99)
  • Choclate double-prong grommet belt (Thrifted...$5)
  • Nude Aerosole heels (Thrifted...$12)
  • Bracelet (Borrowed from my lovely, generous friend, Kate)
  • Fleur de Lis handbag (Beacon's Closet...$14...also a great refind...I had an exact copy of this bag when I moved to the city almost 9 years ago! I found it at a Salvation Army thrift shop and I wore it until there wasn't a stitch left, sadly. It truly was my every-occasion bag and I couldn't believe that I came across it's twin just over the bridge in Brooklyn ;)
