Mohair in the mirror


I didn't have my entourage following me today (tee hee), so here I am doing the blogger pose in the mirror wearing my snuggly 'new' oversize mohair sweater (with golden flecks) made in Italy, found during a late-night Value Village dig yesterday for $5.99 (mean reds, as Holly GoLightly calls 'em, require retail therapy - except I don't need Tiffany's; good ole VV will do!).  Normally I wear quite fitted sweaters but I liked the look of this one.



Excuse the semi-ghastly yellow hue. Just trying to get the rest of my outfit in the mirror. I snagged the Daniel Marcus lined leather brown skirt, made in Canada, for a song at my local Stretch Thrift ($5.99 if memory serves, maybe less). The boots, which you can't quite see here, were also found at Stretch Thrift for $5.99. The necklace, as you may recall, was a buck at my latest vintage costume jewellery club meeting. The thick cotton tights were new but $3.99 at my local Dollar Store!

Entire outfit: just over 20 bucks! And the mirror, in case you're wondering: $3.99 - and it's suuuuper heavy.
