I never thought.................

I never thought I would like to wear animal print anything, seriously I've been against it for as long as I can remember but look at me now <3  I've been looking for a lovely silk animal print blouse during my thrifting outings and scored this one a week ago. Just to share, I particularly love when great quality leather boots have a great fit in the ankle area and these boots which are over ten years old were given to me as a Christmas gift via my  awesome hubby early in our marriage have that great ankle fit detail.  This it what I'm wearing:

Black leather boots - NYC

Vintage bangles - Mostly thrifted

It's not spring yet!

Pittsburgh has been experiencing some lovely spring like weather lately and I'll take it!  I know there will be plenty of bone chilling days ahead but when it's warm & sunny oh boy how light and refreshing it is.  Btw I'm excited about the new colors I received in the mail for Lagelle's Fall/Winter 2012 collection.  The yarn is 100% baby alpaca and it doesn't get any softer than that! Happy Monday <3  This is what I'm wearing:
