Opposite of yesterday

Since I spent yesterday in a nearly 100 year old blouse I thought that some serious comfort was in order today. It's also a little chilly (which I am none to happy about). I also was up pretty late last night doing more organizing to the shop, this weekend I got a bunch of much needed hangers from a yard sale. Despite that I realize that I need many more, and I also realized I need to take a hard look at my real closet and put many dresses into the shop, I cannot believe how many dresses I have amassed through the years, even with all my obsessive weeding and giving so much away. The guest room once again looks like a vintage store exploded and the cats think that all the piles of clothes are little beds just for them. I expect I'll get to it by the end of the week, although I would really just love a little mythical creature like the one on this t-shirt to come and magically deal with all of the garments. Maybe my new iPhone has an app for that!

military inspired jacket - Walter, but thrifted
t-shirt - Urban Outfitters
jeans - Top Shop
shoes - DSW
gold heart necklace - thrifted

And on the flip side of getting RID of clothing I have discovered a new designer that I totally love to bits. Danish based designer, Sofie Olgaard puts out great simple, monochromatic, understatedly elegant clothing that anyone can wear anyday of the week. I just love the colors and the sweet not overly feminine details, but just enough. I am most keen on that cross back dress in the first photos.

    Adorable outfit on you! You look like a British rocker's wife. I love that military jacket and vintage rock tee.

    Absolutely love the back of that dress! I would totally wear that. Her designs are soooo pretty.

    Thanks for sharing! Kerri
