Is it fall yet? Then why the hell am I wearing jeans?

Today I am participating in Two Birds http://twobirdsboutique.blogspot.com/ inspiration Monday with Heidi Klum and Patti over at http://notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com/ for visible Monday.
These three ladies have given me reason to start loving Monday's.
I need to find a old chick to do a similar challenge like the Two Birds.  They are wearing me out!
It's still hot in Indiana and I can't believe I have jeans on for this post......Oh well, I guess we all suffer in the name of fashion.
My outfit isn't anything to write home about..........However, when I was tying the scarf I saw my beautiful, vintage,  porcelain, necklace and thought it would look perfect.
The scarf and necklace were battling it out for first place. Then all of a sudden it was like peanut butter and jelly..........a perfect match was made.
I thrifted this messenger bag last week and love it.  I've had my eye on one at Duluth Trading Co.  for $75.00.   So before I made the investment I thought I'd try this Old Navy one.  Now what was I thinking 1.50 vs $75.00...............I love it.  I tote so much junk around with me it is wonderful.  And the way I look at it paid for half of my new I phone!!!!!!!!!!!

My inspiration

My outfit:
Top:                   Thrifted  2.50
Jeans:                 Gloria Vanderbilt/Kohl's  apx. 25.00
Shoes:                Pretty old but probably Kohl's or Target--don't remember cost
Scarf:                 Thrifted 1.00
Necklace:           Thrifted 1.00 
Messenger Bag:  Old Navy thrifted 1.50

  1. Oh, I love how you have mixed the necklace with the scarf, a trick I'm going to remember. And, btw, it's Patti who runs Visible Monday.

  2. What a cool idea for using the scarf with the necklace! Love your outfit. Better than Heidi's in my book.

  3. I love your description of the scarf and necklace first fighting it out, then creating a harmonious blend. That's one thing I never, ever do -- put a necklace with a scarf, or two necklaces together. Perhaps this is my next frontier? Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. Isn't the only reason to live this long, is to humiliate your children? ;) Great outfit! Brenda

  6. This is a good copy! It's not too hot to wear jeans here, but it is too casual for work. Oh well. Really like the messenger bag, too.
