Happy Friday, friends!
Every once in awhile, I’m going to throw a little fashion into the Restored Style mix. Fashion is fun and innovative and there’s always something new. Case in point – the new Tom’s shoes. Which pair makes your heart flutter?
Pretty darn cute, right? I think I’m partial to the red corduroy pair – love the texture and color of those shoes. Any favorites? Do tell!
Cheers to the weekend!
Cheers to Friday, friends!
One of my best garage sale finds this summer has been hiding in the closet for the last few months. You see, I bought a Banana Republic winter coat last June at a neighborhood sale for $10.00. Score. I did feel a little funny purchasing an item that I wouldn’t use for months, but the fit was perfect, the cut was classic, and I’d knew I’d use it all winter long. And, I must admit, I have a coat/fleece fetish. Coats are important in the Pacific Northwest, or at least that’s what I tell myself when I buy another jacket:).
A few weeks ago, when I dusted off my summer purchase, I decided it needed a button upgrade, or rather, a little bling. I ended up picking up six one-inch gold buttons at JoAnn’s and I was hopeful this little upgrade would really spiff up the jacket.
Again, nothing was wrong with the black buttons, but I had my heart stuck on gold.
And I’m not one for modeling, so here’s a few photos of me sporting the “upgraded” coat last weekend.
The gold buttons certainly pop a bit more than the black. Success!
Before I sign off for the week, I wanted to tell all you PDXers about a wonderful event Rejuvenation is hosting tomorrow. It’s the Holiday Handcrafted Fair (because the best gifts are handmade and from local artisans). It’s from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Portland’s flagship Rejuvenation store. Ten percent of artisan and store proceeds go to p:ear, Portland’s premier mentor service for homeless youth.
Here’s a handful of participating artists:
