BLACK FRIDAY POST # 4 :

I HONESTLY COULDN'T COME UP WITH A NAME FOR THIS ONE. I'LL LET YOU PICK....

I WANTED TO PAIR A FOO-FOO BLACK SKIRT WITH NEUTRALS, WHILE KEEPING IT MODERN. I ADDED A V-NECK PLAIN WHITE TEE, LARGE HOOP EARRINGS AND LEGGINGS FOR THE MOD, WHILE THE REST WAS MORE OLD SCHOOL LOOKING.

THE FINISHING TOUCHES WERE THE RABBIT FUR (thrifted) 'SCARF' AND THE BEADED BAG (a gift). I ACTUALLY HAVE ON A PEARL NECKLACE (doubled as a choker) BUT YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE IT ;)

HEY, LET'S CALL THIS ONE "NOW AND THEN" ;)

           attire:

           Skirt: thrifted (I think...)

           Hat/Shoes/Fur: thrifted, Goodwill.

           Bag: gift ~ Brooch: Sears,old.

DON'T FORGET :

   SEND THOSE PHOTOS TO :

retroreva@current.net

by Monday evening, say 6 ish ?

HAVE A TERRIFIC WEEKEND EVERYBODY !!!

BLACK FRIDAY OUTFIT POST # 1 : THE BLACK DRESS

"BOYS DON'T MAKE PASSES AT GIRLS WHO WEAR GLASSES" ? ~ WHO MAKES THIS SH@T UP ?
( Probably a gal who was jealous of her near-sighted "hot" friend who kept stealing her boyfriends )
Tee, Hee ;)


I HAVE SOOO  MANY IDEAS ON WEARING BLACK ,
THAT THIS FRIDAY THINGY MAY GO ON WELL INTO THE SPRING ;)

THIS FIRST LOOK I CALL "THE SEXY OVERLY-TIRED AFTER WORK LOOK".
MINIMAL EFFORT, BUT MAXIMUM RESULTS ;)  WE ALL HAVE ONE OF THESE DRESSES HIDING IN THE BACK OF OUR CLOSETS. YOU KNOW, THE BELOW THE KNEE LAST MINUTE FUNERAL ( OR WEDDING ) DRESS THAT'S YOUR GO-TO QUICK RESCUE OUTFIT, THAT YOU COVER WITH A LONG BLACK COAT?
 WELL, WASH YOUR FACE, TAKE A QUICK NAP, THEN GET OUT THOSE SPANX AND REMOVE THOSE ITCHY CONTACT LENSES ;) AND START THINKING SEXY!
 (or at least hungry).......
A LOW, MESSY BUN , A FUN HAT AND A POP OF LIPSTICK ARE ALL YOU NEED TO GET THAT TRIP TO RED LOBSTER 
AFTER A LONG DAY  ;)
THROW ON A BRIGHT COWL SCARF (This one I made by doubling a regular, thrifted one, then stitching the ends together.) A FUN PURSE AND GREAT SHOES (or boots)
And Wa-La! Unexpected Date Night ;)                                                     
I HAVE ON A VINTAGE HAT AND DANGLY GOLD/RED RHINESTONE EARRINGS FOR THE FUN FACTOR. ADDING THE RED NEAR MY FACE BRIGHTENS MY TIRED EYES :)
The purse adds many colorful prints to break up the all-black dress. The shoes add the "trend" factor.
And to heck with the tights or hose. Go bare legged! Let those tired legs air out :)
AND, Don't mind the lumps and bumps this knit dress can show. Hubbies like the lumpies ;)

" WHY HONEY, YOU LOOK CHILLY. LET ME PUT MY BIG, WARM ARMS AROUND YOU"

( Or in my case, why in the hell didn't you wear a coat ?)

Tee, hee ;)

( Honestly, I'll probably wear a long , but thin, coat, or maybe a faux fur jacket. )

I DON'T LIKE HEAVY COATS......

( I was so nervous about this post ;) ~ The next few weeks are going to be items we all have and wear, but with my "twist" on them. Such as the black Turtle-neck, Jacket, Jeans and so on.

My outfit:

Dress: Limited, thrifted.

Hat: Vintage,thrifted

Scarf:thrifted, stitched ends together

Earrings: JCPenny, clx.

Shoes: Dots

Purse: World Mkt.

Glasses: Sears, prescription (but not bi-focals,yet, darn it!)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !

xXx
