Fashion Friday: A'hoy



So for some reason when I see this blazer I think of a silly old man on a sail boat. Don't ask...I just do okay?!? Gilligan's Island comes to mind and the cute little white caps they wear pops into my crazy little head.
Okay...enough about how I put horrible tags on my outfits... just love it like me will you!

I did a little DIY on this Jacket as I found is lacked luster... I pulled off its buttons replacing them with these gold babies... I also added a few to the collar for some added glitz...you approve followers? I did this DIY ages ago, about 3 months ago I shoulda taken photos of the before and after but this was far before I decided to use you all as my mirror {in which I still don't own a full length one for the house boo-urns!}.

The scarf is a new addition to the wardrobe and its a Vintage... I pretty much love it like I love my candy corn, if I could find it in more colors I would. But I managed to snag this one and one in navy. Made me feel like I had striked it rich {I know, that's not a word...but just give it to me for today, okay}.

As you all know I am planning on hoping the line this weekend {with the husband and some friends}and hopefully snagging some serious fall fashion deals.  Its extra fancy now that the dollar is at par, which means I can spend that much more {right Sammy?!?!}.... we had a minor "loud talking" tiff about this last night, I honestly don't think men will ever understand women and their love, need, desire for clothing. I'm guessing its really not an issue of his, the issues lays that I have no boundaries... If I had a brazillions dollars in the bank she would be spent! Thank you "Sammy" for keeping me in check with reality and thank you for giving in to me when I say "but I really, really love it" - that's love if you ask me!




XOXO
Yours Truly

haha! no, unfortunately, they will NEVER understand. LOL! fortunately, I am a bargain shopper and Mr. Fabrice approves of most of my purchases.

Great find on the scarf, and I love that bag.

I need anothe white blazer. The one I have is a jersey knit material and I need something more structured.
