Denim duds, thrifted

Posted on 12:03 by kumar

Quelle romance: the hubby has been flying non-stop this past month, and what do the newlyweds do when they get a reprieve from hubby's crazy work schedule? They paint the living room. Ahh good to know we're so comfy with eachother so quickly, eh? Before we started for the day we ran out to do errands, and I donned this thrifty outfit: thrifted embroidered denim jacket and thrifted wideleg jeans; green Benetton sweater, also thrifted; scarf bought new in Toronto (splurge item); thrifted Kenneth Cole wedgie boots (my fave); bag, a gift; and tee, a freebie when I bought the most fab 1970s vintage coat, which I still have to show you!

Back to painting ....
