Marooned

I found this darling dress at the Tyler Goodwill store for $4.99 this past weekend.  It is so cute and so comfy and even though it would probably be more suited to wear to a formal dinner gathering, I actually wore it to work to day with some cowboy boots!  Well, the boots had the same colors in them so 'why not'?  The bodice is a very dark maroonish-brown color velvet, and the skirt is a shiny satiny pleated fabric.  A little over-kill for work maybe, but I figured I could get by with it.

This bronze/silver/gold chunky necklace came from the Goodwill store in Canton.  You can't see the earrings, but they are the same as the necklace.  I had to dig through several baskets of jewelry, and by chance found the matching set, but in different locations.  Together, they were $4.00.

I've had these cowboy boots for years and they happened to go perfectly with this dress.  They helped play down the 'formal' look of the velvet/satin dress a lot.  I'm going crazy putting weird stuff together but I'm having a blast.

  2. oh! oh! oh! I have the ear rings to match! (I'm not sure about the necklace -- I may have it too -- but it did not look as good on me as it does on you...)
