"Momma, when you were born were there cars there?"
Princess Sparkles asked me as we drove off from church.
How old does the kid think I am?
I told her yes, there were cars.
"Because when you were born, there had to be something not there."
She had a point, we didn't have GPS, cell phones or the internet!

Here are a few outfits from the week. The first is a NY&Co peplum paired with a vintage purple leather skirt. My mom, Fair Isle, wore the skirt in the 80s. The Kenneth Cole heels and zebra belt are both thrifted. The second outfit I'm linking up with "Inspiration Monday." The jacket I picked up on sale at Foreign Exchange, along with a shirt (it has faux leather on the pocket and sleeves!) I got on clearance at TJ Maxx and some thrifted boots.

I wore a lot of leather (faux and real) this past week. I love how timeless it can be. Because even though the internet didn't exist when I was a kid, this awesome purple leather skirt did, and Fair Isle was rockin' it!

LOL My kids are amazed at some of the things that we didn't have as kids . . . and even more amazed at some of the things that we did have (cassette tapes, VHS tapes, pagers, etc.). It's funny, isn't it? I love that second outfit so much! And the girls jumping photos are great!
It made me feel old to read that, haha. But hey! I had old school Nickelodeon shows and Lizzie McGuire, so ha! P.S. That skirt is awesome!
wonderful nails!!! loving both your outfits and loving the jumpshots from the kids! :D

I'm obsessed with stripes and boots! I'm so glad it's fall so I can start wearing my boots again!
Oops I think my comment was just erased. I was just wondering if you've worn your calf hair boots yet. I haven't found any boots half as cool. I also love you in that purple leather skirt!

Great combos supporting the leather trend very nicely.

Ok, I'm LOVING the jump shots!
You look so elegant in the first outfit.

Pretty and Cute!
And I'm referring to all your outfits
and to all of you.
love the purple leather! What a great hand me down!
And I still find it so crazy to think about how life would be without the internet as an adult. Its so hard to imagine!
As usual, beautiful outfits (I love stripes) and nails! As well as the pictures, your daughter jumping and your son smiling, so sweet! She is so right, we didn't have cable TV 2 decades ago either, so... one more thing to the list! Sorry I was a bit absent for some weeks, now I'm fully back! denisesplanet com
