Another challenge.......Preppy at 53

Below is what I felt today.  The fact that I can't link to this site is really making me relive my whole work day.
Not a good thing for this girl.  So I'm sure after 10 times it's me.....maybe wine had something to do with it?
So, off to bed.  Another adventure that didn't happen.
I had a tough day today.  Most days  I can't even think when I get home from the j.o.b. This week was really, basically, crap!
I thought a few idle minutes of looking at the blogs would help my spirits and soul.
But what did I find but another challenge by http://prettyshinysparkly.com/.  Now you're talking.  I'm feeling all kinds of happiness just jumping up and down inside of me.
I actually wore this outfit to work today...sans scarf, uncomfortable shoes and cute purse.  So I guess I kinda wore it...........
This post had me thinking about the years when I would have, should have, could have been preppy.
I don't think people in my area knew what that meant. We couldn't even wear pants to school until 8th grade.
Now mind you I could buy cigarettes, but nope those pants were not proper!
So check out he preppy ladies at http://prettyshinysparkly.com/
And everybody have a good weekend.
What I wore
Jacket             i.e thrifted Good will for 2.50
Shoes              pretty old, but I think they are Target
Jeans               I think Kohls..........Are these "pajama jeans"?  They sure feel like it.

 boat  neck T   thrifted Good will 2.50
scarf                thrifted, silk, Studio New York
purse               thrifted Good will 1.50

  3. This is a great outfit! Something I would totally wear, but also something completely age appropriate, which can be a very hard line to walk. You have done it beautifully though. I just thought you should know!

  5. So studious. I love the bag and of course a striped tee is always a winner in my book!
