Braveheart

     Nope, not my husband this time.  This post title is compliments of my close friend/adopted daughter. When she saw me this morning she said, “You look like Braveheart, but in a good way.  Maybe it’s the belt…”  Next time I wear this outfit I’ll paint my face blue for the full effect.
     Speaking of the belt.  You really feel old when you realize that you are wearing something that you had bought brand new, but now it’s vintage.  Sad, but true.  I bought this belt waaaay back in the 80’s at a store called Rave.  Do any of you remember Rave? It was kind of like a Forever 21/Wet Seal hybrid.  I wore this belt with my fingerless lace gloves, cropped top and skater skirt with capri leggings.  Totally rockin’ the Madonna look, oh yes I was.
     The sweater is probably close to twenty years old too.  It is one of my all time favorites.  It’s that perfect slouchy fit to wear with skinny jeans and it’s so soft and warm.  My husband has even been known to steal it from time to time.  I belted it today so I’d look more Braveheart-esque.  No, actually I belted it to give it some shape because the skirt had too much volume to pair with a baggy sweater. Sorry to disappoint you Mel.

Such a lovely statement belt! It looks great with that top too, older tops are the best as they are always so comfortable! 🙂

The more you wash and wear some things the better they get.

This ensemble is tremendous, Debbie! I love the necklace and I am usually not thrilled with necklaces but this one goes / adds to the ensemble. It reminds me of some delicate necklaces our parents brought to us as a souvenir once when they were on a trip for my Dad’s business. Nice memory. Thanks for the ‘red’ compliment. I have a rule; I wear red lipstick with red clothes and then lavender with everything else, especially blues. hahahaha.

I know it is a sad day when you realize you are now considered vintage. LOL

I love the colour of the skirt.
