A Plaid Thanksgiving Recap and Contest Winners!

A PLAID THANKSGIVING RECAP...

And contest winers!

Outfit Details: 100% thrifted vintage blouse, plaid blazer, fitted jean and Nine West red suede Platform heels. Vintage rhinestone earrings and clutch as well. (Hope's Outlet, Goodwill in Grand Haven, Mi)

Hope everyone has had a peaceful and wonderful holiday weekend thus far! I've enjoyed mine and was lucky enough to spend it with some dear friends (pics below!). We got into a little bit of plaid spirit this year! (Oh, who am I kidding? I'm always in the spirit for plaid. Check out my Love Plaid Pinterest board here!). 

The food was yummy and plentiful!  I brought the old staple: deviled eggs, with a small twist--original deviled eggs garnished with fresh basil, dijon with fresh dill, and curried/red pepper with red onion! They were pretty tasty if I do say so myself. ;)

Also, I'd like to congratulate Rebecca Perkins on winning our Thrift Trick Makeover Giveaway contest!!! Stay tuned for updates in blogs to come before our fashion show event...and don't forget to check out the Thrift Trick FB page so you can stay updated on news for this amazing event on December 8th, 2012!

Hounds tooth and Purple Rain

Houndstooth and Purple Rain

OK, so it was just houndstooth and purple NAIL POLISH, but it was raining out this morning. It's been a little gloomy in Michigan the past week or so, with intermittent sunshine. This morning was no exception, and after a huge gust of wind almost taking out the kit lens on my camera (the edge broke off, but the glass was in tact!) I haven't been risking outdoor shooting with my tripod!

It's probably a bit of a blessing in disguise because, with final projects and exams liquefying my brain this week and next, I can BARELY find time to dress myself, and that's the truth! That said, I felt like sharing the fun combination of this houndstooth blazer with purple nails and toes!

For the record, I'm a huge Prince fan...

Houndstooth is something you can find ALL over the place in terms of thrifting; it seems to add punch to just about everything you pair it with. (And it mixes well with other prints, like the tank I wore under it today).

My entire outfit with the exception of the necklace (seen in this casual post )

was thrifted!

See you tomorrow for jewelry

give-a-way news!
