Garage Sale Finds

This weekend we had a neighborhood garage sale. The mission was to find some old containers, buckets and other items to put flowers and plants in when my grandson Joseph and I redo the front yard later this month. One of my neighbors saw me picking through the offerings and then told me that she had two tops that I would love - so I got them, too.

First, yesterday:

This top is from a brand called Metaphor, and it's a shiny pewter color with a soft, solid, ivory back. I wore it with some very old tweed pants from a brand called Sugar Lips. You will see the waistline detail below.

It was cold and cloudy yesterday, so I wore my ivory satin bomber jacket from Panama Joe on top.

I wore a faux onyx locket and a costume strand of assorted dark color beads.

Here's the waistband - the sequins are bronze, which helps tie in the necklace, and also my Tahari Maryjane shoes.

The shoes are taupe suede with copper tirm.

On my right arm, a tanzanite band and a multi-gemstone bracelet featuring larimar, pearls, and aurora borealis stones. 

On my left arm, a round solitaire ring with a wide band and my leather/crystal cuff that I got as a souvenir in Baltimore.

Then, today, the other find:

This is a mesh T shirt with ivory Venice lace type embroidery on the front, sleeves, and shoulders. It is fully lined except for the sleeves. It's made by INC. I like that it is really long, so it's easy to tuck.

My skirt is  a very old charmeuse print from Notations. I saw an ad in In Style magazine - Dolce and Gabbana did the reverse mirror image type thing with floral prints, so I figured that ivory and black would be a good starting point for something like that.

I wore my White House Black Market double buckle belt.

My necklace is KJL, and was my mom's.

On my left arm, a black leather cuff and my white enamel/crystal ring from Saks.

And that's about it, except for some links ( a lot of them !!):
