everything thrifted…

Dress: Thrift. Shoes: Ebay. Bag: Thrift. Peacock feather earring: Random cheap NY shop. Shades: —->Ray Ban

…because it’s still my fave way to dress. I increased the length of the side split and took the hem and looped it through my belt for draping and shape.
Did you see my twitter pic of the two piece maxi thrift find today? My twitter is still where I show my loot before it surfaces here on the blog because it’s a quick cell pic (normally taken in the shop).
The cow hide bag shown above was on my twitter too last week. It’s got (wait for it) an interior CCW holster pocket. I love that, even though there’s no errrr gun inside! For more informaiton about the CCW holster, you may want to review Sniper Country today.
Yet 😉

Who knows, maybe I’ll be buying glock 19 shoulder holsters next to complete the look!

    I love what you did with the dress.
    A couple of posts ago I thought that you were in Anse Marcel, and then realized that you were in St. Lucia. I couldn’t believe how similar the beach looked.

Keep up the good work, your a natural!

    Thrifted…and it still looks like a million bucks.

    Thank you for reminding me that red is a gorgeous color. We’ve been estranged as of late, but I am beginning to see the beauty in it again.

    the looping of the skirt=genius. especially in this heat.
    surprised you didn’t get tapped by cabs, lol.

  31. Jamie says:

    First off, I love this color on you! Second what a really creative idea to loop the hem in your belt. It took this dresses potential to be matronly and made it 100% sexy! LOVE IT!

  42. Karen says:

    Glad you lot like frock! The hiking up through the belt was very spontaneous. Let me know if you guys give it a try. You need that split to allow the fabric to drape without pulling.

    British Babe – your comment will go down in the Hall of Fame for comments left by a reader. Hands down.

    I could not stop cracking up….

  48. Designer lehenga says:

    i do pretty much the exact same thing, local vhosts and all. taking nightly backups of /home is easy with rsync, so when anything goes awry, i just pull down the folder from my vps. since the cronjob itself is in the folder, even my backup script gets backed up. what ide do you use?
