What I Wore Wednesday...

Just a few outfits this week...

It has been very HOT here the last few days...and I have NO air conditioning in my classroom so some of my outfits were just for getting through the heat and not that fun or attractive!!!

I think this whole outfit is less than $50. I believe the pants were $3-4 on clearance!

sweater ~ Gap outlet

skinny capris ~ Old Navy

shoes ~ Victor brand from Younkers

necklace ~ vintage, was my Grandma's!

Pictures are not so great ~ sorry!!!

top ~ Eyeshadow, from rue 21

little pleated skirt ~ Banana Republic outlet

shoes ~ Target

bracelets ~ Forever 21

Bag Lady

I've been working on some more bags...there WILL be bags at the Memorial Saturday Sale...

Here's one made from a vintage t-towel..
The rest are just the fabrics I am going to be using...LOVE this red barkcloth print, green tiny dot feedsack and green trim ~ ALL vintage!

Another barkcloth sample from an old valance...

More barkcloth...

Not really barkcloth, but very heavy, maybe outdoor fabric?

Watch for all of these to be turned into beautiful bags for your summer excursions ~ the beach, the pool, grocery shopping, or flea market shopping!
